Knockout City: Season 2 — Fight at the Movies is coming soon with a new map on July 27. Karthik Bala, the cofounder of game developer Velan Studios, revealed the new season at the EA Play event today.

EA recently announced that Knockout City has reached 5 million players. The competitive dodgeball game from Velan Studios released May 21 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It quickly became a hit thanks to its simple-yet-engaging action, which has players trying to eliminate each other by throwing balls at one another.
