Set in a vibrant stylized world of gods and mythology, Divine Knockout is gaming’s first third-person platform fighter. Inspired by classic 2D brawlers, DKO shifts the combat to third-person 3D - bringing us right into the heart of the action. Battling across arenas featuring deadly environmental mechanics, each unique god can unleash devastating abilities at the push of a button, and inflict massive damage based on the player’s timing, positioning and moment-to-moment decisions.
“We can’t wait to launch DKO to all PlayStation Plus subscribers on December 6”, says Alexandre Grimonpont, Executive Producer of Divine Knockout. “This exciting partnership with PlayStation means that from day one we’re welcoming a huge community of players to duke it out across 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 modes. The multiplayer mayhem of DKO is a perfect fit for PlayStation Plus. See you on the sixth!”.
DKO is currently in Closed Alpha testing (apply here) and is available to wishlist via Steam, Epic Games Store and PlayStation. The game launches worldwide across all these platforms as well as Xbox on December 6.
