QUÉBEC CITY – April 14, 2021 – Knight Squad 2, the heir to Chainsawesome Games’ chaotic arcade party game enjoyed by more than 1.8 million players, begins the fight today on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One with Xbox Series X|S support, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Don a suit of armor and fend off all challengers with an armory of medieval weaponry ranging from swords and shields to arcane grimoires and bazookas. Clash across more than a dozen multiplayer modes supporting up to eight competitors in local or online matches.

Customize bouts with a wide array of modifiers, such as introducing slippery floors to an area, mounting each warrior on a beautiful unicorn, or having knights’ bodies explode upon death. Outduel all comers in Gladiator and earn points as the crowd cheers on, raise an army to destroy foes’ strongholds in Minion Master, and revel in more than ten additional game modes.

Recruit squires to join the cause with Knight Squad 2 Trials, available now for free on Steam. This standalone companion experience provides a taste of what’s on offer in the main game, offering up the classic Battle Royale mode, where challengers fight to be the last one standing. Trials players can also join lobbies hosted by owners of the full game to experience all of the wild game modes, modifiers, and weapons on offer before joining the full party.

“The original Knight Squad was beloved by more than a million players due to its over the top gameplay and plethora of options,” said Laurent Mercure, Communications Officer, Chainsawesome Games. “Knight Squad 2 ups the ante with even more to choose from and we can’t wait for everyone to join us and duke it out on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC.”

Knight Squad 2 features local and cross-platform online multiplayer for up to eight players and is fully localized with voice-over and text in English, French, Spanish, and Japanese, and has text support for Italian, German, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

QUÉBEC CITY – March 24, 2021 – Knight Squad 2, the follow-up to Chainsawesome Games’ chaotic arcade party game enjoyed by more than 1.8 million players, charges into battle Wednesday, April 14 for Nintendo Switch, Windows PC on Steam and the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility. A free-to-play preview version, Knight Squad 2 Trials, is also joining the fray and launching today on Steam.

A training ground to prepare for the full release, Knight Squad 2 Trials provides squires a place to hone their chivalric skills in Battle Royale mode. Clash with other competitors wielding authentic medieval armaments, including laser guns, boomerangs, and proximity mines until only one warrior remains standing. Trials will also allow participants to join lobbies made by players in the full game and get a taste of all the action on offer in Knight Squad 2.

The full Knight Squad 2 experience sports more than 13 competitive multiplayer modes for up to eight players. Fight in a free-for-all foray to gain control of a massive weapon and unleash its devastating power in Juggernaut mode. Team up in Painter, a graffiti turf war where the aim is to color coat more of the arena than opponents before the clock runs out. Then, for a classic bit of fun, unwind with a leisurely match of Soccer while dodging bazooka rockets, oncoming arrow fire, and whatever else the other side can muster while chasing down the ball.

Knight Squad 2 builds on the beloved framework of its predecessor to deliver an absorbing and varied multiplayer experience that puts compelling spins on familiar pastimes and introduces an element of chaos with wild variables like slippery floors and exploding bodies. Easy to pick up and enjoy with friends and family of all ages and skill levels, Knight Squad 2 aims to bring people together in the way that only a mountain of vicious combat-filled minigames can.

“Today is a huge day for us!” said Laurent Mercure, Communications Officer, Chainsawesome Games. “Not only are we announcing the game for Nintendo Switch and revealing our release date of April 14, but we’re launching our free preview version, Knight Squad 2 Trials, on Steam. So join us for some Battle Royale action today while we gear up for next month!”

Knight Squad 2 features local multiplayer and cross-platform online play across Xbox systems, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, as well as full support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese language options.

QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC (June 5th, 2020) – Chainsawesome Games is excited to add Knight Squad, the chaotic one-button party game with a ridiculous amount of game modes, to the Nintendo Switch today!
