Disco Dodgeball Remix Announced
San Francisco, CA – May 2, in the year of our Lord
2018 - As part of its recently announced publishing
initiative—ensuring that the world’s best PC indie titles are
available to as many gamers as possible—Zen Studios today
announced it will release Disco Dodgeball Remix for consoles on
May 22. Initially self-published by Erik Asmussen under the name
82 Apps, the PC version has earned a dedicated fan base. And
with Zen Studios developing Disco Dodgeball Remix for
PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, that dedicated fan
base will soon grow considerably.
A ridiculously awesome physics-based sport-type-thing, Disco
Dodgeball Remix offers up a crazily intense mix of arena-based
first-person shooter and classic dodgeball—all played by killer
robots whose lethality is only surpassed by their quirky charm.
Combatants throw glowing dodgeballs to one-hit-kill their
opponents and complete team objectives, using a wide variety of
powerups and trick shots—all with skateboard-style movement and
a pulsing dance club aesthetic.
“Most fans of Zen Studios were attracted to us through our
Pinball FX series, so we like to think we know a thing or two
about awesome gameplay centered around physics-based spherical
objects—and trust me, Disco Dodgeball Remix absolutely delivers
there and then some,” says Mel Kirk, Zen Studios’ VP,
Publishing. “Our developers can’t get enough of the PC original,
and we’re excited to bring Disco Dodgeball Remix to consoles,
where we expect its popularity to absolutely explode. It still
blows my mind that one talented developer created this whole
thing.”
“I'm a solo developer, so porting to consoles was just a pipe
dream for a long time—but partnering with the amazing group at
Zen Studios has been a great decision to help make this a
reality,” says Erik Asmussen, who developed Robot Roller-Derby
Disco Dodgeball (the game’s PC title) all by himself. “Their
publishing team been doing great work on the project, and I
can't wait to get my game into the hands of more players.”
Disco Dodgeball Remix will be the second indie PC release
converted to consoles by Zen Studios, with more to be announced
in the months to come. The first—RocketWerkz’s Out of Ammo for
PlayStation VR—was released on January 30.
