Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is an action-packed, ball-banging, level-wrecking, history-bending 3D platformer.

Bang-On Balls: Chronicles rolls onto the stage! A 3D platformer inspired by some of the best games of the genre including some Italian plumbers, a blue hedgehog, or a bear with a bird on his backpack! It’s a game where you become a reckless hero, customize your ballsy character, and play by yourself or in 4 players co-op with friends through various (slightly inaccurate) historically themed levels. Are we gonna start with the Viking era? Sure, let's loot some treasure!

But the ball doesn’t stop rolling here! Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is gonna be updated on a regular basis, adding a new value to the game with new features, skins, maps, and many more! Where do we go next? Feudal Japan? はい、もちろん。Race to Space? Поехали! Fire up the rocket boosters! Wild West cowballs? Buckle up, partner!

Some of the ball-banging features include vast open levels full of challenges to complete, treasures to unlock, epic destruction, and plenty of weapons, shields, and other fun items that not only let you customize your character but also gives you an edge both in combat and exploration! Extremely fun and intuitive ball-dashing and ball-smashing gameplay mechanics, and a very silly sense of humour round-up for an all-around entertainment for you and your friends!


Hoist your anchors and let your (bouncy) balls loose onto the open ocean!

Exit Plan Games and Untold Tales announced the next big expansion to Bang-On Balls: Chronicles, an absolutely massive, treasure-loaded pirate-themed expansion, coming to PC on September 12, 2022.

It’s the 17th century and the high seas are littered with the balls of pirates, privateers, merchants, and the naval armadas of the European powers. But these contested waters are more than just a few lush islands with great real estate. Deep sea creatures, voodoo curses, skeleton armies, Spanish fortresses, buccaneer hideouts and… a pirate shopping center?... are just the tip of the tropical iceberg. The Pirate Expansion adds the biggest map in the game to date and it’s simply jam-packed with things to do and uncover!

In Bang-On Balls: Chronicles, you are your own compass so pick a spot on the horizon and set sail. Start the hunt for a collect-a-thon of pirate-themed items that let you customize your look, your boat, and your fighting style. Battle your way through islands packed with enemies and multiple boss fights guarding treasures, secrets, and unlockables. Hunt down and sink marauding ships roaming the waves. Plunder and demolish strongholds, hideouts, and treacherous caves. Seek out and save mermaids (merballs?). Or tattoo your balls to strike fear or admiration into the hearts of those who cross paths with you.

The new map as with the whole game supports both single-player and online co-op for up to four players. Some secrets and boss fights are designed to be triggered and played in co-op so try to grab a crew and let the looting begin!


Key Features:

  • Glorious 3D Ball-Banging platforming action as you become a reckless hero in a series of (slightly inaccurate) historical-based events!
  • Vast open stages to explore, each set in a different time period, with fun items and weapons to collect to give you an edge during combat...or just to destroy your environment!
  • Pick your own country, customize your character, and play with incredible next-gen, state-of-the-art, highly advanced… uhhmm… balls.
  • Grow, shrink, smash, bash down the environment, the world is your destructible playground!
  • Beautifully stylized graphics. Balls were never so shiny before!
  • Stand out with your look in up to 4 ball-friends multiplayer, while helping out each other complete unique challenges.
  • Loosely inspired by a worldwide phenomenon called memes. Are you familiar with the concept? We love it.
  • It teaches history. Well, kinda… Not really… But it has historical levels!

Currently available on Steam Early Access, Bang-On-Balls: Chronicles will be coming to Xbox One and Series X|S later this year.
