Publisher Hi-Rez Studios and Red Beard Games confirmed that their new third-person platform brawler Divine Knockout (DKO) will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4/5 and PC via Steam and Epic Game Store on December 6. KO the gods in the world's only 3rd-person platform fighter!

Set in a vibrant stylised world of gods and mythology, Divine Knockout is gaming’s first third-person platform fighter. Hurl boulders as Hercules, swing Excalibur as King Arthur, or wield Mjolnir as Thor. Best of all: You can unleash each god’s devastating abilities at the push of a button.

Inspired by classic 2D brawlers, DKO shifts the combat to third-person 3D - bringing us right into the heart of the action. Players damage enemies to make them vulnerable, then knock them out of the arena with a mighty blow!

Each arena features a different deadly mechanic that players must master to win. Some maps crumble over time, while others feature tricky traps.

DKO launches with full cross-play and cross-progression on all platforms.

This means that from December 6, for all game modes - including Knockout, King of the Hill, Coin Blitz and Oddball - all DKO players will be able to play with their friends on any platform, plus have their progress and purchases transferred to wherever they are.

Divine Knockout is currently in Closed Alpha testing (apply here).

DKO launches on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on December 6, 2022. The Founders Edition (including the full game, 8 Gods, cosmetics and a special bonus for SMITE) will be available along with the Ultimate Edition, unlocking even more Gods and cosmetics.
