“We’ve seen 5 million new brawlers join us in matches,” says EA.
5,000,000 individuals have joined to play the new dodgeball multiplayer, Knockout City. Velan Studios’ family-accommodating multiplayer delivered under about fourteen days prior, yet effectively 5,000,000 individuals have joined to play the brawler across Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
“Since launch, we’ve seen 5 million new brawlers join us in matches, there’s been amazing – and unexpected – gameplay, hundreds of thousands of Crews were formed, over half a billion KOs landed, millions of hours of gameplay were watched, and – dare we say it? – Thousands of friendships were made along the way,” the studio said on the EA site. “Who realized you could bond over smacking each other in the face with a dodgeball?”
In any case, that will possibly occur if Knockout City can cut out a sufficient specialty in an extremely aggressive online space to develop its online community. “I don’t know if that will happen right now, but I can say that Knockout City feels unique to play, look at, and listen to. It’s not the first time dodgeball has been recreated in video game form (props to Kunio-Kun and the rest of the Super Dodge Ball gang), but it is a unique fusion of arena combat and the original gym class contest of champions. Most importantly, it’s a hell of a lot of fun to play.”
If you missed the Knockout City free 10-day preliminary the first time, we have uplifting news – it’s back, and this time it’s staying close by.
