Bold strategy pays off

We've already waxed lyrical about Knockout City, but it's a message worth repeating: this is a fantastic online multiplayer title...

Knockout City News
News Knockout City Season 9 Will Be Its Last, Servers Shut Down on 6th June
Thanks for the memories
In a somewhat surprising announcement, it seems like dodge-brawler Knockout City's days are numbered after developer Velan Studios revealed that Season 9 of the F2P multiplayer will be the game's last. Servers will be switched off on 6th June, but game director Jeremy Russo says there is still a ton to look forward to before...
News Knockout City Season 8 Takes You on a High Society Heist on PS5, PS4
New poison ball incoming
Here's another reminder from us that Knockout City is a proper hidden gem of a multiplayer game. Now that's out of the way, let's talk about what's coming up next in the free-to-play dodgebrawler. Season 8, named High Society Heist, is kicking off soon, bringing a bit of film noir flair to the experience. The new season...
News Knockout City Season 7 Kicks Shell with Tubular TMNT Crossover
Mutant Mutiny kicking off soon
Despite its satisfying dodgeball-inspired multiplayer and a move to free-to-play, Knockout City does feel as though it's merged into the background a bit. Developer Velan Studios is stepping things up for Season 7, however, as the game is about to get its first big crossover. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be...
News Knockout City Is Now Free-to-Play on PS5, PS4 with Patch 6.0
Here are the patch notes
We've been banging the drum for Knockout City since its initial launch a year ago, and it remains a super-fun multiplayer title. Until today, the game has been free to start, allowing everyone to get a taster before locking the game off behind a paywall once you reach a certain progression milestone. That is no longer the...
News Knockout City Goes Free-to-Play on 1st June with the Launch of Season 6
Plus: new ball, expanded hideout, more
Earlier this year, developer Velan Studios announced its intention to re-launch Knockout City as a free-to-play game. The excellent multiplayer dodge-brawl title has always appeared to be perfectly suited to this model, and it's soon to adopt this new approach. News of the shift has been known for a while —...
News Knockout City Going Free-to-Play Later This Year on PS5, PS4
Velan Studios now self-publishing
Knockout City has always been free-to-start, allowing players to enjoy the game up to a certain point before hitting a paywall. However, there was always the feeling the dodgebrawling multiplayer title should just take the free-to-play route. As it turns out, developer Velan Studios agrees, because that's exactly...
Soapbox EA Originals Was the Publisher's Secret Weapon in 2021
EA's indie push is where it's at, says Stephen
Electronic Arts gets a very bad rap these days. While I'd agree that the publisher isn't quite what it once was — and it certainly has made a bundle of mistakes over the last five years or so — it isn't quite as negative as all that. I'm not here to defend it for any missteps or misfires; that's a...
Game of the Year #8 - Knockout City
Ballin'
This will probably wind up being a contentious inclusion in our Game of the Year countdown, but it really shouldn't. Knockout City is an online-only multiplayer game with broad appeal, fuelled by frequent post-launch updates and battle pass-style progression. While many will condemn it for those reasons, we strongly believe that this title...
News Knockout City Visited by Alien Invaders with Season 4, Starts Next Week on PS5, PS4
New map! New modes! New things to unlock!
It feels as though Knockout City only got started with its third season very recently, but it's actually been going for nearly two months now. Time flies! Season 4 of the dodge-brawler is now closing in, and this time, the theme is Alien Invaders. As you can see from the trailer above, the game is going...
Talking Point Why Aren't You Playing Knockout City with PS Plus?
It's a Knockout
Push Square has been singing the praises of multiplayer dodgebrawler Knockout City ever since its beta released this spring, but the title’s inclusion with PS Plus gives us another opportunity to wax lyrical about what is undoubtedly one of the best games of the year. If you’ve yet to download it and give it a try, then our...

Hands On Knockout City Could Be Your New Favourite Multiplayer Game on PS4
It's a knockout?
To be honest, our time playing Knockout City in a recent review event hasn't changed our opinion much at all. After spending time previously with the beta, we came away quite impressed with what Velan Studios has made, and as the title launches on PlayStation 4, we find ourselves itching to play more. The game, an online multiplayer...
Hands On Knockout City Is One Game You Shouldn't Dodge in 2021
A true underdog story
We'll be honest, expectations for Knockout City were fairly low as we booted up the recent open beta. This next game from the EA Originals program is an online multiplayer title from a small indie team, and we've seen enough of those come and go to be just a little wary. However, this dodgeball-inspired action game really...
