EA today announced the development by The Americans Velan Studios of Knockout City,a kind of futuristic dodgeball in which players will move in vast urban scenarios making huge leaps passing through the sphere and using enhanced attacks to take out opponents.

Coming may 21 for old gen consoles (and the new ones via backwards compatibility), Knockout City will be an e-sports-oriented multiplayer title with full cross-play and cross-progression support, so as to allow owners of all platforms to play with each other and switch between them without losing their progress. We now leave you to some official information and the presentation trailer, accompanied by the first images of the game.


Whether it's 3v3, 4v4 or all of them against everyone in Street Play, competitive league play matches or a private game, the fight to take down rival teams takes many forms. In Knockout City, players will start each game on a level playing field and will have to rely on their skills to dominate the competition. A solid team makes a difference. The title is simple to play, but practice is the key to mastering positioning, time, and teamwork, dominating the dodgeBRAWL.

Once players have learned to master moves, they will naturally want to adopt a unique look. Knockout City's customization options - appearance, equipment, attitude, body type and hairstyle, custom gliders, knock-out effects, and pranks - will make players fight in style. Players will also be able to customize their team, consisting of up to 32 friends on all platforms, by choosing their name, logo, banner and vehicle that will take them into battle.

When the video game is launched on May 21,you will also be able to access a limited-time free trial. Upon launch, Knockout City will provide a complete multiplayer pack with five maps, an interactive environment in which players and their team can practice, six types of ball, character customization, cross-play, cross-progression; and again, Street Play with five initial playlists, League Play, Private Match and the entire Street Rank progression with hundreds of cosmetic items. In addition to these important options, knockout city will also bring a lot of new content over the seasons at no extra cost, each of which can include new maps, modes, balloons, limited-time events, and more.

Players who choose to purchase the full game for €19.99 during the free trial will be able to transfer all their progress and receive new cosmetics while continuing to compete in Knockout City. Those who purchase it after the free trial will still be able to transfer all their progress.
