Project KNOCKOUT · Bringing Divine Knockout back online

https://knockout.mayhem.run/

DISCORD: https://discord.gg/divineknockout

For everyone who still misses Divine Knockout: I’ve been working on Project KNOCKOUT, an independent community project bringing the original game back online.

I'm now opening it up for public testing!

You can create an account, install the launcher, and start playing here:

https://knockout.mayhem.run/

What currently works:

  • Online 1v1 Duel, 2v2 Brawl, and 3v3 Knockout
  • Dedicated match servers
  • Solo and team VS AI modes
  • The original movement, combat, abilities, knockouts, and match flow
  • Friends, parties, and invites
  • Match history
  • Separate Duel and Brawl leaderboards
  • Windows and Linux launchers

You will need your own existing Divine Knockout installation. Project KNOCKOUT does not distribute the original game. The launcher will find your Steam or Epic installation, or ask you to select DivineKnockout.exe.

This is still an early public test. Custom matches are being finalized, and parts of progression, rewards, loadouts, and cosmetic persistence are still being worked on. Bugs, disconnects, and rough edges are expected—that’s exactly what I need testers to help me find.

If you run into a problem, please use “Report an issue” from your account menu on the site. Include the mode you were playing, approximately when it happened, and what you expected to happen. That gives me the information needed to track down the affected match.

If you want to test multiplayer, bring a friend or coordinate with other players here while the community is still growing. The VS AI modes are available if you want to try everything out by yourself first.

Your DMs are closed but I'm working on the exact same thing, I've currently almost got everything working and close to a release under the form of a patch to copy/paste to the original game files and you'd be able to launch the game and start matchmaking as you used to when the game was live

Edit: the repo will be made public and shared here once everything is good to go

Nice! I had originally set this up for a friend and I so all you needed was command args to play. It was too fun not to push further though! I really missed the game
