The multiplayer dodgebrawler Knockout City is getting a free 10 day event to kick off the launch of the game later this month. Starting May 21 at 5am PT/8am ET and running to May 30 at 5am PT/8am ET, the Knockout City Block Party will be 10 days of tournaments, a free trial of the game for everyone, and plenty to earn and win with the community.
The Block Party is the free launch trial that Velan Studios hinted at when Knockout City was announced. At the time, they hadn’t specified a duration, but we now know the game will be free for everyone on every platform for the first ten days before players will have to pay to continue playing. The free period is an unlimited trial featuring everything in the game, and any progress made during that time will carry over should you choose to buy it. ?
But that’s not all that’s happening at launch. The Knockout City Block Party acts as a kind of “pre-season” to get players ready for season one of unlocks and content. Unique Block Party contracts will task players with assorted challenges to unlock unique cosmetics and Seasonal XP boosts. You’ll be able to jump into four playlists while completing contracts: Team KO, Diamond Dash, Party Team KO, and Face-Off, and if you make the full purchase of the game during the Block Party free trial, you’ll get even more bonuses on top of the stuff you earn. Those exclusive early rewards from the Block Party bundle include:
