Knockout City flings its last dodgeball in June

4 Feb 2023

Season 9 will be the title's last.

Knockout City will be shut down in June, developer Velan Studios has today announced.

“Today we are announcing that Season 9 will be Knockout City‘s final season,” Velan’s Jeremy Russo said via blog post.

“Then, on the morning of June 6, 2023, over two years after our initial launch, all servers around the world will be shut down and the game will no longer be playable.”

Velan will take learnings from Knockout City and apply them to “other games and product we are very excited about”, according to Russo.

Knockout City was first published by EA back in May 2021. Velan Studios took full ownership of the title a year later in June 2022. We previewed it here.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
