'OddBallers' Gets Delayed Until Further Notice

by Rainier on March 7, 2022 @ 5:18 p.m. PST

OddBallers is a new dodgeball multiplayer party game where just about anything you can find can be thrown at your opponents.

Use skill and brutally unfair tactics to screw over your friends in hilariously unpredictable tournaments... Slam your opponents with wrecking balls, lawn mowers, trumpets, sheep and countless unfair tactics in quirky tournaments where each round is a zany new type of dodgeball. Where each round is a zany new type of dodgeball.

Players will dodge, block, and throw items across three unique environments, each of which features more than 30 different arenas and plenty of minigames. Progress from arena to arena, win minigames, and earn medals and convert your match point to win. Minigames range from classic modes, like last-one-standing battles, to wacky competitions to see who can shave sheep with a lawnmower or knock people out with fish to play a trumpet. Regardless of which minigame you play, there’s one constant rule: Everything is a weapon. Throw balls, chickens, cacti, or just about anything else you can pick up. Environmental hazards like electric fences, explosive gas tanks, and tennis ball launchers will also offer ways to take out your opponents.

Unlock new rewards as you play to customize your OddBallers with hundreds of different accessories, outfits, haircuts, and more. Of course, what’s the point in pelting your friends in the face with a fish if you can’t bust out a sweet dance or taunt after you do it? Fortunately, OddBallers lets you do just that.

Having received a March 24 release date last month, OddBallers is now the second title after The Settlers (delayed last week), to get delayed until further notice right before its launch.

In order to ensure the best experience for our players, we’ve made the decision to postpone the release of OddBallers to a later date. We want the launch of the game to be a smooth and complete experience, and that means making more improvements. We are confident that the additional time will allow us to deliver the fun dodgeball party game we envision.

We will share more details around the release of OddBallers in due time.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
