Press release:
16.7.24, Brighton, UK.
The Brighton-based (the UK) indie games developer Hardball Games are today very thrilled and proud to announce that their mega-brawler “OutRage: Fight Fest” (the world’s first, 16-player beat-em-up), is now available for PC via Steam Early Access at the discounted price of £6.79/$8.49.

Releasing today with 15% off its full price RRP of $9.99/£7.99, the first-of-a-kind party game, enables players and up to 15 of their friends to punch, kick, throw, use a whole host of weapons and the destructible levels around them in a battle of the biggest!

Players can party-up in hilarious, short-session, Battle Royale, Free for All and Team-Based battles. As they fight their way around the arenas, causing damage to each other and the scenery they’ll earn ‘Rage’ and as their ‘Rage’ increases they’ll bulk up, hitting harder and throwing bigger in chaotic smash sessions where everything is a weapon.

The epic, mega-brawl is set in a parallel reality, where a rare serum is discovered that gives players temporary invulnerability and superhuman strength, which paves the way for the craziest punch-party on the planet: OutRage: Fight Fest. Funded and orchestrated by a mysterious and eccentric billionaire, entrance to the fist-fighting showdown is granted in exchange for their rights to harvest player ‘Rage’!

Players can enjoy the fun and frenetic game in a variety of different modes across Battle Royale, Free-for-all and Teams. Domination a 4×4-player, team-based mode where players capture and hold flag points; they can be the last man standing in single or duos Knockouts; ‘Pain Points’ is a manic high-score chasing deathmatch where success is based on just how much damage players can do to their opponents!

There’s a 16-player capture-the-flag inspired mode, full of mischief and shenanigans called Crate Grab; and finally Rage Bank which turns the game on its head, as teams of players seek to trade-in their rage, size and power in order to score points.

Contenders in the battle of the maddest, will be able to party up with their friends, host custom games and share friend codes so they can fight together. While those wanting to hone their beat ‘em up and smash ‘em down skills, can learn the ropes and practice combos either in training mode or with battle bots in time-limited practice challenges.

With access to all the game modes and arenas at launch and available for immediate download here OutRage: Fight Fest is available for a limited period of time with 15% off before reverting to the full RRP of £7.99/$9.99.
