Slide into adventure – in style!

🛡️ In just a fortnight, adventure begins with you as The Knightling! Coming August 28, to Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

✨ Wishlist now and be ready to slide into adventure! ✨

A lot has happened since we launched the Outskirts demo on Steam earlier this year! The feedback we gathered was invaluable and we spent our time wisely on a wide range of improvements, fixes and optimizations. In addition to expanding beyond the outskirts region featured in the demo, the upcoming full release will include a variety of new features and improvements.

• UI overhauls and improvements, adding visual flair and functionality(such as inscriptions, cosmetics, etc.)

• Lighting and visual improvements across the board.

• Those with sharp ears might notice the final music mixing with nearly all instruments live-recorded by musicians! Really takes the experience up a notch.

• Big optimizations on all systems and logic.

• Localization added for multiple languages.

• Combat balancing and tweaks.

• Cosmetics have been added, and they can be purchased with Guilders from the tailor or obtained through activities.

Included in the base game, you can dress your Knightling in a range of outfit colours and pick ribbon styles that add some flair. Mix and match to create a look that’s entirely your own!

In Clesseia, the main city in the game, Rhapso is the tailor and keeps shop on top of the large bridge. As the Knightling, you can visit the tailor to check out some new outfit colourings, ribbon designs, and styles for Magnustego, the shield!

We took inspiration from the game world, characters, and creatures to make it all fit together. We included the whole team in the brainstorm about what kinds of colour options would be cool. Some were inspired by the roles and jobs you see around the city, some by the environment, and even one inspired by the darker days in life.

Each region also has a distinct colour option for both the Knightling and the shield, which you can earn through various activities in the game. The tailor loves painting the shield for you as well, so it's definitely worth paying a visit if you want to see how fabulous Magnustego can get!

The Knightling - Deluxe Edition features the base game, plus exclusive in-game cosmetics. Defend the people of Clesseia with regal Golden colours for you and your shield, and light the path of justice with a special lantern ribbon. Our Pine players may recognize we also have a set that’s an ode to Albamare!

The Deluxe Edition of The Knightling will be available on August 28 for $34.99 | £25.99 | €34.99 (Standard Edition $29.99 | £ 21.99 | €29.99).

Another BIGMOON BASH is beginning soon in Beastieball! During Bigmoon Bashes, coaches can challenge each other in open matchmaking for a limited time. During the event you'll have a Bash Rank, which will improve based on your performance. After it's over, you'll receive in-game rewards based on your participation, such as Social Battery and Sports Points.

When: August 23, 2025 00:00 UTC to August 25, 2025 00:00 UTC (equivalent to Friday, August 22 @ 4PM PST to Sunday, August 24 @ 4PM PST)
BANNED Beasties: Riplash, Maraptor, Albrax, Hopra and Surgus!

Players of all skill level are invited! All you need to do to participate is to play the game on that day and join the Bash on SportNet! SportNet is typically unlocked within the first 2 hours of your adventure, after beating your first Ranked boss. And if you aren't confident in your own Beastie team, you can use a randomly generated one instead - just go to Team Setup and set "Random Team" as your current team.

• First to 2 Points wins
  
• Standard time limit on move selection
  
• No Undos allowed
  
• No duplicate Beastie species allowed
  
• Relationship Combos are disabled
  
• All Beasties are set to Level 50

During the previous Bash, we ran a bit of a science experiment. We captured the public discussion we could find in Beastieball-focused spaces over the course of the Bash and then ran an algorithm on it to count how many messages were sent about each Beastie specie. This also accounted for nicknames and lingo, like saying "shark" or "sharp" to refer to Riplash. Here are the results of that!

As you can see, we've simply jailed the 5 most-discussed Beasties. (Something fun to note: although fewer individual messages were sent that mentioned Albrax, the total wordcount of those messages was the highest of the bunch by far. Albrax seems to draw more long-form essay-like complaints than other Beasties!) 🤓

With this rule in effect, we're confident there will be no more complaints about PvP balance in Beastieball. We look forward to the calm discussion that is sure to emerge from this upcoming, perfectly calibrated Bigmoon Bash.

I don't see how that's possible, but if it makes you feel any better, we're well underway on a large balance patch which will be coming to the game soon! After this Bash is over, we'll begin testing the new changes in the Experimental branch, so please look forward to that update.
