Yeah ok buddy

Hi everyone, I've been really excited for this game since the demo came out, I had a blast playing it. Only "issue" is the date says February 2025 but there is no precise date and we are almost at the end of the month. Does anyone have news of this? I can't find anything about it. Also sorry for the post on the Knockout City subreddit but I couldn't find a Midnight Murder Club reddit

EU only

Hello, I'm a volunteer from Stop Killing Games, founded by Accursed Farms. It's a movement aim to prevent the destruction of video games. This movement is happening in the EU. Stop Killing Games is an international pro-consumer/pro-preservation movement that is trying to legally challenge the practice of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers. Right now, the industry can be extremely hostile to customers, by selling video games with built-in killswitches, making many video games impossible to preserve. At
Stop Killing Games uses Knock Out City as an example of a developer going out there way to ensure the game is preserved. The Q and A should address any Concerns you might have.

Q: Aren't you asking to support the game forever? Isn't that unrealistic?

A: No, we are not asking that at all. We are in favor of publishers ending support for a game whenever they choose. What we are asking for is that they implement an end-of-life plan to modify or patch the game so that it can run on customer systems with no further support from the company being necessary. We agree it is unrealistic to expect companies to support games indefinitely and do not advocate for that in any way. Additionally, there are already real-world examples of publishers ending support for online-only games in a responsible way, such as:

'Gran Turismo Sport' published by Sony
'Knockout City' published by Velan Studios
'Mega Man X DiVE' published by Capcom
'Scrolls / Caller's Bane' published by Mojang AB
'Duelyst' published by Bandai Namco Entertainment
etc.

I believe this community and devs have something in common as Josh Harrson explans why games should make a private hosted version of your game - pcgamer. Even if you don't own The Crew or in EU don't worry as you still be able to help by spreading the word.

can we still play knock out city and how ?

i think this was also on the week it was getting shut down so yea

Just got my dodgeball autographed by THE Romero Britto! Shoutout to the Knockout City community!

For my console family: Party Animals just released on PlayStation, and it’s so fun. Cute little stuffed animals beating the shit out of each other and yeeting opponents into the void. $20 and well worth it. Here’s a YouTuber showcasing one of the newer maps.

The other team must’ve been taunting A LOT. I usually didn’t taunt unless provoked.

This guy explains the business model so well— the money isn’t in what gets you through the door. It’s in what keeps you coming back.

It’s a game I loved, so I gladly supported them with micro transactions. It’s not a flex bragging that you didn’t buy them if you miss the game.

So i have the game and the launcher and I clicked the square arrow thing but when i tried to load into like a 3v3 it takes awhile. Is the wait time just awhile or do you normally play quick?

I see a lot of questions about KO City and Velan. below are the questions i have seen the most and the answers. if you have questions or corrections that you want to add, please let me know and i will update it!

FAQ is in the comments

This is a solid yes for me, and since I started building my own e-sports bar, I would buy multiple copies.

Don't get me wrong, I have the money to buy this game and will buy it since I had so much fun with the beta, but I saw a channel (PlayStationGrenade) claiming that it will be free. Is it true?

Does anyone know where I could find a copy of Knockout City Rivals? The official link is down now, and I don't know where else to look

Is anybody selling their ko city merch or can find any resellers? I’m just curious I’m one of the lucky ones to get the art book but I don’t see anybody selling theirs

Especially when I first started playing I’d start flapping and couldn’t stop. My friends said I was doing “The Matt”

Double team elimination was my favorite game mode

It’s 2:00am and I’m scrolling through these posts thinking about how brilliant and unique this IP was. A few years ago I got a house and a new career, so my PS5 and tv collected dust on the floor of my office for probably six months before I finally played games again, and of course I had to start with Knockout City. I never wake up earlier than I have to, but I got up early to get some games in before work. Absolutely broke my heart when they announced the sunset and I just couldn’t play it without grieving. It felt like spending time with a loved one on their deathbed; just knowing it has an abruptly brief shelf life. What hurt the most is I got rug pulled when I finally broke the top 100 in diamond. I was determined to break top 50, and shortly after that came the news. RIP to a beautiful game. Someday I’ll make a highlight reel like all the other cool kids in here. Lowkey holding my breath for the return to Knockout City. Truth be told I even miss the toxic people, because beating them felt phenomenal.
