Knockout City was an action video game developed by Velan Studios. Publisher Electronic Arts released the game for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in May 2021 under its EA Originals label. Velan Studios took over publishing duties in June 2022, and the game transitioned into a fully free-to-play title on June 1, 2022. The game's public servers shut down as of June 6, 2023, which ended the ability to play the game on all consoles; however a separate version developed for Windows, designed for players to host their own private servers, is available.
