— BRAWLOUT AUG 21 (@brawloutgame) August 3, 2018
Since its December 2018 release on the Nintendo Switch, Brawlout has gone on to sell 50,000 copies on the system. Similar to the Smash Bros. series, the game is a party fighter that requires players to knock each other off of the fighting stage to win. There are some small differences to the game that eliminate blocking, grabbing and edge-grabbing. It also adds a Rage meter that grants players a super or combo breaker.
Fans will get a chance to play as Yooka-Laylee for the first time during a playable demo at Super Smash Con from Aug. 9-12. The game will also make an appearance at this year’s Gamescom 2018 from Aug. 21-25.
