Knockout City may have to shrug off the stink of fellow EA Originals flop Rocket Arena, but there does appear to be a more original concept here. Due out on 21st May for PlayStation 4 – with backwards compatibility enhancements on PlayStation 5 – the so-called dodgebrawler is a cross-play powered team-based multiplayer game.
At its simplest, you’ll be tossing balls at your opponents, but there’s a bit more strategy involved here: you can pass to team-mates who may have a better shot, or even ball up yourself, allowing one of your allies to toss you around. The game will cost $19.99 at launch, although the press release does mention that there’ll be “opportunities” to try the title before buying.

This is the worst trailer I’ve seen in my entire life. It’s like something that would play on YouTube as you frantically try to skip it because it’s so bloody annoying.
Looks like it has the same depth as Rocket Arena, which isn't much at all. I also can't wait for this art style to die.
That trailer reeked of desperation.
I just want a true PS5 upgrade for Rocket League. As nice as the PS4 pro upgrade is
Looks like Fortnite, Destruction all stars and all other games that are obsessed with this art style now although Fortnite could at least say it's not the follower. The game itself could be fun though, is hard too tell with that loud and annoying trailer.
Not a great trailer, but the game itself looks quite fun.
I'll take REAL Dodgeball, welts and all.
It looks like it could be a lot of fun, and if it was a free PS plus game I could see it racking up a decent community. I think it's likely this one will just fade away very quickly though
Obviously unfair to judge the game before playing it, but looks like it probably should be free-to-play (or part of PS Plus or something).
I'd try it, though, for sure!
Lol, they didn’t learn.
This will be free-to-play right? Then again, I doubt if it will attract a bigger audience than Rocket Arena. Everything about this looks forced. Not an art style any artist would like to make, but must because of the EA board room.
