As live service games continue to die young, one niche favorite lives on thanks to the combined efforts of devs and fans

Knockout City

Earlier this year, the developers behind the dodgeball-inspired Knockout City announced that the game would be shutting down - with an important loophole. Now, fans are taking advantage of that loophole in a big way to give the game another chance at life.

Knockout City officially shuts down on June 6. However, prior to that date, developer Velan Studios released a free 'Private Server Edition' of the game, opening the door for players to host their own servers and keep the game going effectively forever. This version of the game features fully unlocked cosmetics and options to play all the special modes that were previously intended as seasonal exclusives. Plus, there are bots to ensure every mode can be played solo.
