![]() ![]() A more you charge a throw, the faster it flies. The controls are simple to pick up, you walk over a ball to pick it up, and hold down the right trigger to lock the ball on an enemy and charge a throw, releasing it to throw. It’s important to note that these functions are purely cosmetic with no gameplay advantage, such as new outfits for your character, colourful taunts and MVP animations when you win a game, making Knockout City a game where skill truly matters. Progression comes in the form of levelling up, unlocking cool (albeit sometimes campy) cosmetic items to customize your brawler. To keep things fresh, there are many fun, recognizable game modes blended into the dodgeball formula such as Team KO (TDM game mode), Diamond Dash (Kill Confirmed), Face Off! (1v1) as well as innovative modes such as the highly chaotic Ball-Up mode where balls don’t spawn, and you can only throw your teammates. Every knockout gives your team a point, and in the traditional Team KO mode, the team that scores 10 knockouts first wins the round, in a best of three rounds format. There's certainly room for improvement with the game's rotating match modes and some of its special ball types, but Knockout City nails the fundamentals to create multiplayer fun that will likely hook you for a long time to come.In each game, every player has two “strikes” before they are knocked out and have to respawn. "Its easy-going nature and straightforward mechanics reduce the time it takes to feel invested in each match, but it's really the subtle complexity underneath that keeps the action engaging and compelling over long play sessions. "Knockout City's greatest strengths lie in its simplicity, but also in the ways it remixes traditional multiplayer elements to create something distinct," Alessandro Barbosa said. GameSpot's Knockout City review scored the game an 8/10. There are also "plenty of new features" headed to Knockout City in Season 6, including new maps and ball-types. But this change is only temporary-Season 6 will have a new Brawl Pass featuring new cosmetics to unlock. Due to this, Knockout CIty Season 5 won't have as much content as previous seasons, and there won't be a new Season 5 Brawl Pass. There's so much to look forward to, because this is just the beginning," Velan said.Īlso in the post, Velan said there is still a lot of "behind-the-scenes" work that needs to be finished before the free-to-play changeover, and the developers are now working on that in an "all-hands-on-deck" capacity. "We have exciting plans for Knockout City, and bringing publishing in-house will allow us to fully realize our vision for the long-term future of this game. We couldn't have introduced Knockout City to the world without the incredible support of EA Originals, but now as we switch to free-to-play, the natural next step is for us to take over publishing responsibilities and work even more closely with our community," Velan said. "From the day we founded our studio, we’ve worked to deliver revolutionary new game experiences to you, our amazing community of players. Velan thanked EA for its support over the years, and said self-publishing will help the studio "fully realize" its vision for the game. Previously, Electronic Arts was the publisher. While this will be the first time Knockout City is completely free, Velan offered the game on Game Pass on day one back in May 2021, and it came to PlayStation Plus in November that year.Īnother big change for Knockout City going forward is that Velan Studios will take over as the game's publisher. ![]() Now Playing: Knockout City With Kinda Funny ![]()
