Ubisoft has announced it's bringing Game Swing's "new dodgeball multiplayer party game" OddBallers to Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms next month on March 24.
This party game can be played solo, or multiplayer - and supports up to four players locally and six online.
According to the PR, players will be required to dodge, block and throw items across three unique environments - each of which contains more than 30 different arenas and plenty of minigames. Minigames range from classic modes, last-one-standing to wacky competitions such as shaving a sheep with a lawnmower.
In OddBallers there's only one constant rule: everything is a weapon. Your projectile could be a ball, chicken, or cacti (ouch!). And you'll be required to do this while avoiding environmental hazards such as electric fences and tennis ball launchers.
There's also customisation for your OddBallers - offering hundreds of outfits, haircuts and accessories to unlock. The developer Game Swing previously released Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure Deluxe on Switch in 2017.

The concept sounds fun... But those graphics! I know, graphics don't make a game, but that looks like some real bottom tier indie quality.
@TheFox Ubisoft found a few bucks in an old jacket and threw it into a game for Switch
I thought Ubisoft will revive Imagine and Petz series on modern consoles.
Why play this when knockout city is a thing, and i'm sure it has a higher budget.
@Snatcher literally the first thing i was thinking about
This is just Knockout city at home
I mean, this is by the guys who made Stikbold, a well loved indie game that released before Knockout City...come on guys, yeah it's Ubisoft but hate on the company, not the people trying to make a good game.
The real dodgeball from Ubisoft is all the misconduct allegations that their executives are dodging.
This makes me think Ubisoft saw the initial success of EA's dodgeball game and decided "THIS MUST BE THE NEXT BIG THING" and immediately grabbed the first in development indie dodgeball game they could find to get in on what they presumed would be a hot new trend.
Because both EA and Ubisoft releasing a dodgeball video game, of all things, in the span of like a year, is a bizarre coincidence otherwise.
Ubisoft to EA: can I copy your answers to the test?
Why didn't Ubisoft do this as a Rabbid's game?
Not a fan of how it looks to be honest.
Ubisoft?
you mean this company?
the same Ubisoft from this NintendoLife article? : https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/12/ubisoft-staff-are-leaving-their-jobs-in-droves-report-claims
@westman98 and the way their misconduct isn't talked about anymore.
even though it's still happening.
