To date, Knockout City has received several seasons, but one of the following will undoubtedly be one of the most important, because the game based on dodgeball dynamics will change its business model and will become free-to-play as soon as Season 6 begins this spring.
This means that it will no longer be necessary to checkout to give this title a chance, which has been on the market for almost a year. Its purpose is to reach a larger audience with the new content that will be distributed throughout its second year of life.
Naturally, those who bought the game will not be left empty-handed, so to compensate those who gave their support at the time, they will receive in return a special loyalty pack. The DLC in question will include exclusive legendary accessories, experience boosters, and 2,000 hologreens, the in-game currency.
The other big change that will come about will be the fact that Velan Studios has decided to disassociate itself from Electronic Arts, so it will be in charge of carrying the game alone and self-publishing it. While the team appreciates all the support EA Originals has provided, they understand that as the title is free to play, it only makes sense for them to take over the publishing duties and work more closely with the community.
Until then, players will be able to enjoy Season 5: Greatest Hits which will be somewhat shorter compared to the previous ones. In this sense, it will not have a Fight Pass, there will be fewer new accessories and new maps and balls will not be added either, since Velan Studios wants to put all its efforts into everything that will come with Season 6, which in this case will come full of news.
