The latest game to offer a gun-free spin on the battle royale genre, Knockout City comes to us from the develoeprs Velan Studios, whose last project was Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, with EA Originals being the publisher.

There are some places you can buy Knockout City already, but it's worth remembering that there is also a 10-day free trial for Knockout City that begins as soon as the game drops. But if you want to know more about the release date, and what time Knockout City unlocks, read on!

Is there any early access for Knockout City?

If you're looking for a sneak peek, we're sad to report that you've missed the boat for Knockout City early access! The game is close now that you'll just have to wait for the full release.

There was a crossplay beta in early April, where players on all platforms could try the game out ahead of time. And prior to that, in February, there was a PC-only beta. If you missed both of those, you'll have to hang on until 21st May when the game launches properly.
