Knockout City, from the start, has always been a wild, competitive and social online multiplayer dodgeball game. It’s not a formula the gaming industry has seen before, and the team at Velan Studios have focused on the laser to provide players with new types of gameplay that they’ve never seen before. To give players special powers in Superpowers! Playlist during season two, to give the brawler a special twist by throwing balls through hoops with Basketbrawl earlier this season, to the whole concept of a competitive timing-based multiplayer dodgeball game, we certainly didn’t. not afraid to explore new grounds.
But sometimes taking a new game and adding something familiar is a perfect combination too, and that’s why we’re excited to announce the next event coming to Knockout City on November 2: Royale Rumble. November 2 is also the day Knockout City will be available to PlayStation Plus members as part of the monthly game lineup.
The main focus of Royale Rumble is the limited-time playlist, KO Royale. This mode puts eight players in a game for everyone, with a closed danger zone. Unlike our other FFA playlists, KO Royale does not respawn players immediately after being KO’d. Instead, you’ll look all the way to the end of the danger zone to see who comes out on top. Be the last brawler to win a crown. Earn two crowns to win the game. It sounds simple, but when you’re up against seven other crown-hungry brawlers, landing that latest knockout with a closed danger zone on your tail can be a difficult proposition. Are you competent for the task?
As with all of our events, there is a selection of contracts to complete, each rewarding Holobux. Complete them all to earn you 1,500 Holobux, which is more than enough to grab this season’s Brawl Pass if you join us mid-season.
Also in Royale Rumble, there’s a whole wardrobe full of items to customize your brawler available in the very first Brawl Shop sale. Not only are the prices reduced, but we’ve also brought back limited-time items that have been locked in the Bank of Knockout City vault since their events ended. Custom Legendary Outfits from Heatwave and Knockout City Heroes make their first reappearances since events ended. Don’t miss this chance to get them back at a reduced price before they are gone forever (again).
Royale Rumble will be sticking around until November 16, when we’ll move on to our next event with an all-new game mode that completely changes the way you fight.
Also coming November 2: Knockout City on PlayStation 5! If you picked the game up on PS4 when we launched in May, a free upgrade will be available for PS5 players. As announced today, Knockout City is part of the PlayStation Plus lineup for November, and the PS5 version will also be available for PlayStation Plus members from November 2.
Additionally, PS5 gamers will have the choice of playing at higher resolutions or frame rates, thanks to a new option in the settings menu.
- In Quality mode, you’ll get the best of these enhanced visuals, running in native 4K resolution at 60FPS.
- In Performance mode, the game will run at 1440p, upscaled to 4K, with frame rates up to 120FPS on supported TVs and monitors.
There’s never been a better time to dive into Knockout City, whether you’re playing on PS4 or PS5. If you’re new to the game, check out Team KO, our iconic 3v3 mode, to introduce yourself to the world and start exploring the depth of the gameplay. For die-hard competitive players, you’ll want to level up quickly and dive into Team Elimination, our competitive mode for Ranked League play. If you’re a longtime gamer eager to take advantage of this free PS5 upgrade, try your hand at KO Royale and work to be the last brawler standing.
Either way, Knockout City already has a ton in store for you, with more surprises to come.
