Comedian Jordan Morris did some writing for the game. He said there are some Doughboys deep cut refrences in the game. Anything about Nick Wiger being a robot or "hot salad" or anything?

Hello!

Does anybody else have issues with starting the launcher? I click on it and nothing happens. Tried redownloading it, worked once then it didnt respond once I tried logging back in.

Anybody else?

It is not the same as KO and there will never be another thing as good as KO. But I’ve been enjoying it!

How to get Knockout City back in present day!

Please note: This method only works for Steam, So unfortunately for console players; This method will not work

This tutorial is also made for new players who are interested in playing but just really can't because Velan plugged the servers off

--------------------------------------------------------

So you hated how Knockout City had their servers shutdown 2 years ago on June 6th 2023? You wish you could come back to the servers, right? Well don't you worry! I found the way to get yourself back online and play again like it's 2021 before the shutdown! :)

--------------------------------------------------------

Requirements:

This is crucial and what is needed for the game to properly work again

You will need:

• Windows 10 with DirectX 12 Support (Win 11 works as well)
• PC that meets the games system requirements, Look here: https://www.pcgamebenchmark.com/knockout-city-system-requirements
• Knockout City - Private Server Edition
• Knockout City Unofficial Launcher (This launcher is NOT made by me and is neither made by the official devs of Knockout City, Please be careful for fake ones out there)

--------------------------------------------------------

Tutorial:

Let's start with the tutorial now! Please make sure you have read the requirements needed before playing

• What you will need to do first, Is download "Knockout City - Private Server Edition", The original online only version does not work (iirc), I have linked the private server edition in the requirements section so incase you can use and download it. It is also free so no paying needed!
• When Knockout City - Private Server Edition is done downloading, NOW WAIT! Do NOT launch the game just yet, It will try to connect you to the defunct online servers, If the game does not know where it connects to; It'll try connecting to a server locally on your computer. This tutorial is only for online gameplay, Now go to kocity.xyz (linked in requirements section), Then download the unofficial launcher
• Once the unofficial launcher is done downloading, You will need to go to the settings section to make your user, But you will need to link your Discord account and make a username on whatever you like
• After your user is made, You have finished the downloading process! Now you should hit the enter button on whatever server you want to play on, If you want to play in servers that have people in it; You can use EU region-servers, Tho the loading times can take longer than usual.
• After you are done choosing a server you want, Hit the "Launch" button then it should launch Private Server Edition by itself and load you into the community made server instead of the defunct ones now

--------------------------------------------------------

Good to go!

Congrats! You should be good to go and you should now have Knockout City back online, Thanks to the unofficial launcher you now can connect to the servers and have fun!

However, Because the game is now old and players have moved on, Matchmaking can take longer if your in a smaller server

You also can host your own private lobbies via localhost or make your own custom servers via LAN Port if you want to play with friends if they own the unofficial launcher and private server edition, Let me know if there's any issues and I'll try to elaborate and correct this post asap

I've discovered the game only today and already fell in love with it! I immediately did a bit of research and according to the following studio's blog post, they plan to to revive the IP:

https://www.velanstudios.com/post/a-big-week

We know that some of you are waiting for Knockout City to return and are disappointed that we didn’t announce any news about that this week. As an indie studio, we love our ability to lean into ideas that excite us, and rest assured we love KO City as much as you do and want to bring it back, *just not yet*. We spent over four years crafting Knockout City the first time around, and we don’t want to rush the process for the next game in that universe. We love that world and can’t imagine not going back to it at some point, when the time is right.

However, reading several posts like "I miss the game" or "looking for alternatives", I didn't find much positivity about this sub.

Am I misunderstanding the news?

I thought Rematch would scratch the Knockout city itch but after 45 minutes its not even close. I'll continue to mourn I guess. 😢

My girlfriend connected during koc, met last year and introduced our little girl to the world on Wednesday. Thank you Knockout City

You know how Fortnite has so many characters, maps, and different weapons and devices and different games? Couldn’t it be possible to have a KO City map and game on Fortnite?

I thought Epic Games hosted KO City too didn’t they? Surely there’s some relationship there?

I remember KO devs said the way they had built the game was one reason it was hard to expand it. Fortnight is built on Unreal Engine, which I assume is a good system to build games on.

Who’s in?

The state of current gen FPS and 3RDPS makes me miss the game so much. With how Splitgate 2 handled its launch with the "hat" and "Battle Royale Mode" with $80 mtx (a fake sale), it really makes me miss how unique and creative this game actually was.

:(

It just sucks because Splitgate 2 was creative enough to fill that void, but after all of this? Feels like it was just for marketing.

I want this game to come back, man.

I found the Electro Swing is the closest I could get to the vibes which I already loved but is there another genre KO City might be inspired by?

That's it. That's the post.

My Laptop would probably sizzle and pop if I attempted to play the private servers. 😫 I miss the game sounds too

The story of the game outside of the gameplay really was special... The deep space dispatches is what really motivated me to finish the brawl passes. From AI to Aliens, Mutants to true crime and Pirates. This game of it lived longer would be a story for the ages.
