'Bang-On Balls: Chronicles' To Get Free Wild West-themed Expansion In May, Adds New Regions, Train Robberies And More - Screens

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!


Exit Plan Games are proud to announce that Bang-On Balls: Chronicles will receive an all new massive Wild West-themed expansion for free on May 10th.

Yippee ki yay master baller!

The Wild West update adds a goldmine of new content to Bang-On Balls: Chronicles on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles, while the Switch version will receive the update at a later date. The new Wild West Map is composed of five new regions  - Mexico, Saloon City, Oil Fields, Beaver Town and Gold Mines - each with new sub-regions to explore. Make your way across this lawless country by riding on horseback, rail carts, or by carrying out a good ol’ fashioned train robbery. There’s even canoes to cross the rivers cutting through these arid badlands. Enjoy over 80 new items to collect and customize your character with, including a slew of new weapons such as a lasso, revolver and shotgun, bow & arrows, a tomahawk, and  TNT crates for when you need a little extra firepower. Of course, these wastelands come with all new hazards including four new bosses and four new mini-bosses. Have you got what it takes to master this throwback to old Hollywood westerns?

Bang-On Balls: Chronicles was always conceived of as a digital toybox that offers a robust, playful experience that hearkens back to our favorite childhood pastimes and themes. Mario, LEGOs, pirates, all stirred our imaginations growing up, so we thought what better theme to add to our treasure trove of toys than the Wild West?’” said Damien Monnier, Co-Founder and Design Director at Exit Plan Games. “It’s a classic genre that’s ripe with silly, sandbox potential - especially as you can play with up to three friends in 4-player co-op. This expansion is absolutely massive too, adding added value to both returning players and newcomers alike!”


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!
  • Up to 4-player online co-op and 2-player split screen. Seamlessly jump in and out of sessions with friends and keep everything you’ve collected.
  • 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 for PC (Steam), Bang-On-Balls: Chronicles is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 5, 2024.
