Popular multiplayer party hit Gang Beasts will punch its way onto the Switch eShop on 7th October, it's been confirmed.
The Switch version comes packed with 21 stages and costume customisation, as well as online and local multiplayer – the latter of which is exclusive to Nintendo's platform. Gang Beasts was first revealed for Switch in August during an Indie World Showcase, but was actually being considered for a release on the platform all the way back in 2017, can you believe?
Gang Beasts is a silly multiplayer party game with surly gelatinous characters, brutal slapstick fight sequences, and absurd hazardous environments, set in the mean streets of Beef City.
Customise your character and fight local and online enemies in the melee game mode or fight with friends against the gangs of Beef City in the gang game mode.
The game will be available on the eShop for $29.99 / €29,99 / £24.99, but a physical version will also be arriving at retailers on 7th December. If you're the collecting type, you might want to hold on and grab a copy for any Christmas parties you'll be planning.
Have you enjoyed Gang Beasts on other consoles? Looking forward to playing on Switch? Tell us in the usual place.

Love this one, one of my personal favorite party games I've played, guaranteed good time if you have a group of friends ready to play with.
Seems a bit pricey for something that’s basically Fall Guys
Played this before on my brother's PS4. I'll absolutely grab the physical release, glad to see it's not a limited one.
I don't really understand what is meant by "exclusive" local multiplayer; I have played this locally many with my friends on Xbox?
@Collinhall I'm assuming the article meant local wireless play with multiple Switch systems.
Gameplay feel sloppy, the fight felt slow pace, and the graphics look un-inspired. May get it at a sale price as this doesn't feel like a $30 game to me.
@Mattock1987 Not at all like Fall Guys lmao have you even played Fall Guys? doesnt sound like you have.
@Oddball83 Rather like they haven't played Gang Beasts 😄
@StefanN lmao even then, just by watching the video its so obviously not at all similar
I play local multiplayer on PS4 all the time with my kids. This is not a Switch exclusive feature.
Is there some new mode that is exclusive? Please clarify.
Steep price for such a small game. Good luck to them selling it at that mark up
@sketchturner Local play is often referred to as between Nintendo Switches, not same screen / same console gameplay. Alternatively this would be a LAN feature on Xbox where you could play with multiple Xbox consoles, though that is redundant nowadays.
@XenoShaun Well you could put two PS4s in the same room and have local play as well 🙄
Thanks for the clarification, but this seems like nonsense marketing.
@Oddball83 Totally, idk maybe he was just judging from the screenshots 😄...oh wait i just assumed there were, but there's only videos, haha
This one has been slapped hard with Switch tax! On PSN €20 is the normal price and it's on sale for €8 right now.
Me seeing most small game releases these days be digital: meh, I have other games to play.
Me when a physical version gets announced: Okay now I can't not get it.
