KO City Season 1

The start date of Knockout City Season 1 is Tuesday, 25 May 2021, but we don't yet know when Season 1 will come to an end.

The title will be available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Origin and Steam).

We don't yet know when Season 1 will come to an end, but we do know that we'll dive into Week 2 of Season 1 with more additional content on June 1, 2021.

Season 1 New Content

Some details of Season 1 were first teased in our recent interview with Josh Harrison, who is the Marketing Manager of Knockout City developer Velan Studios.

"Those seasons are going to have new cosmetics as you would expect, but also new content, and new maps, and new ball types and new playlists. Team KO plays very different from Diamond Dash which is very different from Ball up Brawl so there will be a lot of new ways to play," said Harrison.

So far, we know that the new content released for Season 1 will include a new map, new Ball-up Brawl playlist, Season Contracts, weekly Crew Contracts, and League Play will begin with the launch of Season 1.
