Smash! Crash! KaPow! These are just three of the incredible moments players will experience in Knockout Bash, a new in-game event available from April 27 to May 10.
Knockout Bash will feature Knockout, an automotive free-for-all where eight players enter the Arena, but only one can make their way to the winner’s circle. Throughout this event, players will unlock soothing Spring-themed rewards and free Golden Gift Baskets by completing in-game challenges.
How Does Knockout Work?
You’ll have to master Knockout’s new mechanics if you want to survive. Knock opponents out of the Safezone or into Hazards to score a KO. Remember, the last player standing wins!
Attack: Dodge into your opponents to send them flying.
Block: Backward dodge to reflect incoming attacks back towards your opponent.
Grab: Hold the grab button while dodging to grab an opponent. Dodge again to throw.
Triple Jump: Players may jump once on the ground and twice in the air.
Multi Dodge: Players can dodge up to four times while in the air.
New PvP Arenas
Along with new rules and mechanics, Knockout introduces three arenas that each have their own shape and obstacle placement. This lets players create unique strategies for each arena, always keeping their opponents on high alert.
Each Knockout Arena also contains several hazards, including spikes and a laser grid that lies below the platforms. Touching a hazard will result in an instant KO, so knocking opponents into them is a quick way to rack up points.
Knockout Bash Rewards
Only one player can win Knockout, but everyone gets a prize in Knockout Bash! Unlock Spring-themed challenge rewards like the Florescence Wheels, Monarch Boost, or the animated Flutterby Decal. Throughout Knockout Bash, players can also earn Golden Gift Baskets. These free rewards offer Items from the Victory, Accelerator, and Turbo Item Series. Complete the challenge up to five times to earn Golden Gift Baskets, then open them in your Inventory to unlock items!

Our team at Nightdive Studios is proud to announce the release of Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition for PC and Consoles. Fans who have followed the project know how challenging it was to bring back this classic game; the project became a labor of love for our team. Now the 1997 video game returns, just in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the motion picture on which the game is based.
Using our KEX Engine, our developers at Nightdive Studios have been able to add features to the game to make it more accessible and enjoyable for modern players. The Enhanced Edition has features including upscaling to 4K resolution and 60 FPS, a modern HD display, keyboard and gamepad support and new KIA clue interface. At the same time, we have tried to stay true to the game’s original look and feel.
We hope that you will enjoy our work and take this opportunity to own and experience a part of video game history.
