The free-to-play catalogue is about to welcome another big name as the folks of Velan Studios have announced that their dodgeball-theme title, Knockout City, will be available for everyone for free<\/a> very soon.<\/p>\n

The game quickly gathered a rather hefty community between those who bought the game and the EA Play members who have tested this chaotic, fast-paced game that often has us trying to figure out what is going on.<\/p>\n

Because of the success it has enjoyed since its release back in May of 2021, the developing team has officially announced that the game will become free-to-play right before its first anniversary, and we have all the details for you.<\/p>\n

When does Knockout City become free to play?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a blog posted on their official website<\/a>, Velan Studios announced that Season 5: Greatest Hits, which is about to start on the first of March, will be the last season before the game goes on “public domain”.<\/p>\n

Most of the Knockout City’s season has lasted around nine weeks which leads us to believe we will be having news about Season 6, the first in the free-to-play era, around the last week of April, just weeks before the game’s first anniversary.<\/p>\n

Although this is obviously great news for everyone as more people will be able to test the heart-racing action of a dodgeball match, there is a section of the community that wonders what will happen to those who did buy the game in the first place but don’t worry we can answer that as well.<\/p>\n

Loyalty rewards for Knockout City’s current community<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When the game first came out, it was available on all platforms from the PlayStation Store to Steam, starting at £17.99 and sold over a million copies within the first month, and this is not even counting the EA Play members.<\/p>\n

Those who bought the game will receive an exclusive Loyalty bundle before the start of Season 6 that will include some Legendary cosmetics, several XP boosts and at least 2,000 Holobux.<\/p>\n

If you have not been able to play this frenetic version of dodgeball made by EA, you are just a couple of months away from discovering what could very well be your new go-to video game.<\/p>\n
