KungFu meets Kickball in December

More On: KungFu Kickball

Blowfish Studios recently announced that their upcoming game KungFu Kickball will launch on December 2nd for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Mac, and will have crossplay across all platforms. The "kickball" part isn't quite what you're likely used to when you hear the term.  Instead of kicking a big red ball and running the bases, you'll be using one of five fighters, each with their own individual kicking style, and attempt to launch the ball at the opposing team's bell. It may not be the kickball we played on the playground (well, not what I played anyway), but if it involves kicking a ball at something or someone, I'm in!

KungFu Kickball Scores Dec. 2, 2021 Release on PC, Mac & Consoles

Master every angle and bounce with strikes, blocks, and headbutts against the ball and enemy teams.

“KungFu Kickball seamlessly fuses the team’s love for sports and fighting games, something we have been wanting to play ourselves for years,” said Ben Lee, co-founder, Blowfish Studios. “We wanted to create a game that was both casually accessible but with a high skill ceiling for those who wish to play more competitively.”
 
KungFu Kickball will hit free agency for $19.99 / £12.99 / €15.99 with full crossplay support featuring language support for English, French, Italian, German, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
