Activision and PlatinumGames’ The Legend of Korra will be releasing on October 21, and since we’re so close to its launch, Activision has released the first part in a new behind-the-scenes video featurette.

The first video dives into the origins of the unique collaboration between PlatinumGames, Nickelodeon and Activision. Nickelodeon, on one hand, was looking for a studio that was both passionate and talented enough to be able to give its Legend of Korra series the respect it deserves. PlatinumGames, on the other hand, found the challenge of capturing the game’s world while also delivering an equal action-packed experience alluring.

In addition to learning of the game’s origins, you’ll also be treated to a handful of in-game footage, showing Avatar Korra in action as she takes on several adversaries. We can see what looks to be some quick-time events as well as some good, old-fashioned martial art moves.
