'Brawlhalla' (ALL) Adds Cross-Platform Play For Switch and Xbox One

by Rainier on May 28, 2019 @ 5:20 p.m. PDT

Brawlhalla is an epic free-to-play platform fighting game that brings players to the fight for glory in the halls of Valhalla.

Vikings, pirates, aliens, and more battle in a tourney of champions for bragging rights, mead, and the joy of delivering a beatdown. Players can play classic four player local matches, fight online, or create a custom lobby to challenge friends.

Odin, King of the Gods, built a heaven for warriors and called it Valhalla. On his command, Valkyries, beautiful goddesses of war, scoured the universe for the greatest warriors to fill this hall. To Odin’s surprise, the Valkyries brought back not only vikings, but legendary warriors of every description, and soon pirates, cowboys, Mongol warriors, Amazons, even monsters and aliens roamed the hall.

While waiting for Ragnarok, the warriors become bored. Constant battle spilled out of the Great Hall, and Asgard was smashed to rubble again and again. Odin, pulling his hair out in a last moment of desperation, set up the grand tournament. Now, the best warriors from every time and place fight to become champion, while the Valkyries constantly venture far and wide to bring back warriors who will earn them honor in Brawlhalla.

Phase Three of a Single Brawlhalla is here! We unified the servers in Phase One, then the patches started happening simultaneously for Phase Two. Now, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One players can play together.

This means Nintendo Switch and Xbox One users can matchmake against each other in all online queues (like Ranked, Experimental, FFA, etc), and you can join each other’s custom lobbies. There are actually no restrictions between Nintendo Switch and Xbox One players now. Everything you could do before, you can now do between these platforms.

Our goal is to remove barriers in our community and to deliver an even better Brawlhalla experience. There will be faster queue times for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, and you will be matched with players who are even closer to your skill level. We will be keeping an eye on the situation and making changes if needed.

These are exciting improvements and we’re so happy to finally talk about them. Thank you for constantly reminding us on Twitter about “cross-play when,” and a bigger thanks for sticking with us through everything. Now, we are working hard on Phase Four of the rollout, and we will give you more details when we have them.

Brawlhalla's straightforward controls make the game easy for new players to pick up, while still having the depth to support a thriving competitive community. With more than 30 distinct warriors to choose from, each with two playstyle-altering weapon types, every victory is a spectacle worthy of the gods.

A variety of online and offline modes offer something for every Legend looking to prove their might in Asgard. Ranked queues, local 1v1 and 2v2, a four-player online free-for-all and online or local free-for-all allow up to eight warriors to take the field at once. Alternate game modes Brawlball, Snowbrawl, Bombsketball and more let the heroes sharpen their skills in new ways.

With a roster of more than 30 Legends, each with distinct two-weapon combinations and fighting styles, every aspiring warrior can find a hero that suits their playstyle.

Grab a horn of mead and prepare to face off against opponents from a different platform in the Grand Tournament of Valhalla.

Brawlhalla is currently available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
