Third-Person Platform Fighter, Divine Knockout, Available Now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One

Share

Divine Knockout (DKO) is something brand new: A third-person platform fighter. And it’s out right now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

Sure, it starts like a normal platform fighter. You damage enemies to make them vulnerable, then knock them out of the arena with a mighty blow. But this time it’s in a whole new dimension: A wholly unique, third-person, 3D perspective. Instead of side-scrolling like it’s 1985, In DKO you’re 3D platforming, brawling in all three dimensions, and knocking your friends off the map to reign supreme.

In DKO, you’ll play as a small-but-mighty god of myth. You can hurl boulders as Hercules, swing Excalibur as King Arthur, or wield Mjolnir as Thor – just three of the 10 playable gods available at launch. You can customize your god to play exactly how you want to play, thanks to our deep Talent system. Specialize in helping your team or boost your own godly powers – the choice is yours.

Then you’ll journey across arenas pulled from the pantheons. But be careful: These arenas fight back. Some crumble over time, while others feature deadly traps. Each arena features a new mechanic that you’ll have to master to win. Watch out for flying books in Merlin’s library!

Whether you just want to hang out with friends or play competitively, DKO has a place for you. Our core 3v3 Arcade mode is a best-of-five that travels across arenas and game modes (like Knockout, King of the Hill, Oddball, and Coin Blitz). It’s a blast for a game night, and with full cross-play and cross-progression you can party with friends regardless of platform. If you’re more hardcore, test your mettle in 1v1 or 2v2 Duels, played in smaller Arenas that encourage relentless combat.
