We are proud to announce Pass The Punch, our own-IP 2D beat 'em up is coming to PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4in late 2019. Developed by our Nottinghamand Pune studios, the game is set in a world influenced by 80s and 90s Saturday morning cartoons. Pass The Punch follows the story of Rush, a resident of New Atlas, as she fights the dastardly villains King Crab and Red Velvet, who are hell-bent turning Rush's favourite hangouts into lifeless, corporate franchises. It's up to Rush and her three friends to claim back their city for the people!

Game looks great with the gimmick apparently being swapping/sharing weapons during combos. been following this game since I saw the first prototype footage on twitter aaages ago after a Sumo Game Dev Jam last year. Obviously the visuals have changed a lot (i'm hoping pixel mode appears as a bonus!) but this is probably the closest i'll get to a 2D One Punch Man title!!

(these tweets are from the games humble one man dev beginnings!!)

Love love love the pixel art, not so much the new art (unless I'm confused which is which ...). Looks like good fun.

The pixel art are from the original game jam that the dev took part in, I love the look of that too but the new visuals are equally great imo. Can't wait to actually see it all in motion.

It looks incredible, but I'm cautious of anything from Sumo after Crackdown 3.

Okay, so folks who talk about modern 2D games looking like a Flash game from the early 2000's?

Yeah, that is exactly what this looks like.

But Sumo makes good games, so this might be awesome.

So you have tag moves depending on the partner, and each character has a larger than life super powered version of themselves as a transformation to beat the villains up. Cool stuff~

Sumo's last smaller game Snake Pass was brilliant and ended up becoming a favorite of mine. I look forward to seeing more of this!
