As always, Epic Games has made a new collaboration between a popular franchise and Fortnite. This is the turn for Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, one of the most praised animated shows ever created.
Fans have anticipated a collaboration with the most famous Airbender since the launch of Chapter 5 Season 2, with Korra appearing as a skin in the Battle Pass. The game makes fans see the giant iceberg where Aang was found as a part of the map. Epic finally revealed a short trailer, but fans are not happy about characters missing from the video.
Fortnite Fans Are Angry About Sokka Not being in the New Trailer for the Avatar: The Last Airbender Collaboration
Epic Games is constantly trying to make fans never leave Fortnite, with amazing events and collaborations like Marvel, DC Comics, Star Wars, and many very popular IPs. The popular battle royale has really accomplished a level of immersion that very few live-service games can achieve. New collaborations are coming. Tomorrow, in Chapter 5, Season 2, a very famous animated series will invade the game.
This new season introduces Korra as the first character from this universe, prompting fans to speculate about a limited-time event within this franchise.

Clearly, fans despise the fact that Sokka isn’t coming to the live-service phenomenon.

Players will enjoy this complete collaboration tomorrow, when the Aang iceberg finally melts and The Last Airbender appears. In a short video anticipating this, Fortnite also shows Zuko, Toph, and Katara as the other characters that will be part of the collaboration.
Aang and Company Will be in the Game Tomorrow, but Fans Want Other Characters Too
The anticipation for this new collaboration is really high, but fans are also worried about one character being part of this new event. Fans want that Sokka be at least in the shop as a skin; this very beloved character, brother of the waterbender Katara, really has a huge fandom behind him.
Many players replied to the trailer post asking for Sokka, this is mainly because Toph, Zuko, and Katara are the only ones in the trailer.
Another detail that can prove that Sokka may not be a part of this collaboration is that in the trailer, you can see how Katara approaches the iceberg. In the series, both Katara and Sokka are responsible for freeing the Avatar.
If Sokka is not involved, Epic Games may not even have created the character model, making fans even more angry about this weird decision. Tomorrow, all doubts will dissipate.
Fortnite has already made some additions, like the possibility of using waterbending as a special power. With new characters added, perhaps the game makes possible the use of the other elements, like earth, fire, and air.
The game’s official social media encourages players to practice their bending techniques, referring to the four elements. Other fans are also asking for Azula and additional characters.
