One of the most pleasant surprises in video games this year has been Velan Studios' multiplayer dodgeball fest, Knockout City. The studio and its publisher, Electronic Arts, have really wanted players to give it a try, to the point that the game had an extended free trial at launch. Those who missed out on that opportunity are about to get a new crack at Knockout City, courtesy of Amazon's Prime Gaming service.

For the month of September, Prime members will be able to claim full copies of Knockout City on PC. Those copies will activate on EA's Origin service. However, that's not all that Prime users can pick up. Starting September 1, Prime users can pick up Sam & Max Hit the Road, Candleman: The Complete Journey, Puzzle Agent, Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis, Tools Up, and Unmemory. DRMs for the other games are going to vary, so you'll want to double check with the Prime Gaming website to see what you're getting. If those games aren't to your liking, you can also find free content for games like Genshin Impact, Madden NFL 22, and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.

We've loved Knockout City here at Shacknews, going back to our original review. Let's take a look back at that review to explain what players are in for.

Knockout City envisions a world without guns, where disputes are settled in the streets with chaotic matches of Dodgeball, erm, Dodgebrawl, as the game calls it. In Knockout City, two teams of (usually) three face off in Dodgebrawl matches, which consists of three rounds. Each round is won by the first team to reach ten points. Points are scored by getting a knockout on an opposing player. Everybody has two hearts of “health,” getting hit by the ball will deplete a heart. Lose two, that’s a knockout.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
