A time of change comes to Electronic Arts. We are not only talking about important decisions regarding big franchises like FIFAbut that also includes the news of a game that until now had been under the umbrella of EA Originals, well Knockout City it will be done for free and will go its own way.
Recently Velan Studios, developer of the curious title of “strikeouts”, published a statement talking about season 5 and how its end would also mark the first anniversary of Knockout City. Unexpectedly, it was announced that its second year of existence would be characterized by being released as a free game. Until now it had been worth a little less than 80,000 Colombian pesosdepending on the store.
But the other surprising news is that, in addition to the above, Velan Studios decided to undertake the task of publishing by themselves Knockout City. In other words, the game becomes standalone and will no longer be supported by EA Originalsas it has been until now.
Many reasons behind the decision for independence were not revealed. According to Velan Studios, they removed their price “in order to reach millions of new players around the world.”
And what will we see now? Knockout City since it’s free now and won’t be EA Originals branded?
Velan Studios clarified that it will reward those who bought the game at the time with a special package that will contain legendary accessories, experience increases and 2,000 hologreens. Anyone who chooses to purchase it before the release of Season 6 will also have access to this pack..
Launching independently has its consequences, as the company warned. With this, he will have to focus a bit on tasks outside of the game, so there will be less content for Season 5. For example, there will be no fight pass and there will be fewer packs and accessories.
However, it is ensured that all this will be compensated with the start of season 6, which will arrive with its anniversary in the month of May.
