Thanks to the brand new Slipknot crossover event, the mosh pit is in the middle of the Battleground of the Gods. Beat has teamed up with world-renowned heavy metal band Slipknot to bring all nine band members to the game with a set of amazing skins, available now for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
Like all of our crossover events in Beat, that was a labor of love. Many of our developers are “maggots” – the term stands for Slipknot loyalists. But perhaps no one is as big a fan as our Audio Lead Kellen Malone, who asked me to share this note:
“As a Slipknot fan of over 22 years, working with Slipknot has truly been a surreal experience. Helping integrate Slipknot and their music Beat was a passion project and a highlight of my career that I will never forget. Slipknot went above and beyond with clown recording sounds that we incorporated into our sound effects. The team at Titan Forge has put tremendous effort into making this a reality and has been worked on by many longtime Slipknot fans. stay metal.”
At this headbang event you can directly buy the skin of your favorite band member, be it Corey Taylor, Clown, Sid Wilson, Craig Jones, Michael Pfaff, Jay Weinberg, Mick Thomson, Jim Root or Alessandro Venturella. All items are also available in a chest. Unlock three cosmetics to get the Slipknot music theme and rock out on the battlefield to snippets of the songs “Duality”, “Psychosocial” and “The Devil In I”. There’s no better time to buy than now – a gem sale runs until May 30th!
