- Battletoads is out, rebooting Rare's beat 'em up - 21 August 2020
I hope you’re ready for a Rare throwback, because Battletoads has been released. Players will be able to hop into the side-scrolling beat ’em up today with a couple of pals to do some good old fashioned couch co-op platforming.

- The Battletoads Are Back! An All-New Adventure Launches Worldwide Today - 20 August 2020
26 years after their last game hit the arcades, the wait is finally over: Zitz, Rash and Pimple are leaping back into action today, August 20, worldwide on Steam! Just like in the original Battletoads games, they’re embarking on an outer-space adventure packed full of gameplay that takes in everything from brawling action to precision platforming, space battles and more. There’s no need to take on these challenges alone – not when up to three players can team up for some drop-in couch co-op. That’s exactly what some of the Battletoads team did in our Gameplay Showcase earlier this week, and if you missed it, you can watch them in action here: In the weeks leading up to our launch extravaganza we’ve been providing players with plenty of ways to get more Battletoads in their lives. Our art contest to win a hand-drawn animation cel used in the game is already underway, and we also added a…
- Battletoads Achievements Revealed - 17 August 2020
On August 20, players will be able to dive into an all-new Battletoads adventure when the game launches with Xbox Game Pass and on Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam. Zitz, Rash and Pimple will be brawling, shooting and quipping their way through multi-genre gameplay that challenges them to overcome everything from street fights to space battles, all enjoyable with up to three players thanks to drop-in couch co-op.

- Meet the Battletoads! - 14 August 2020
The clock is ticking down, the engines of turbo bikes are being revved around the world… it can only mean Battletoads is almost here! After uncovering the tale behind their comeback at Dlala Studios, today we turn our attention to the ’Toads themselves, the story that drives their latest adventure, and what it means to craft a game that’s also an irreverent cartoon comedy. The Story So Far So who – or what – are the Battletoads? Zitz, Rash and Pimple are outer-space amphibians who are (depending on your point of view) either chaotic mercenaries for hire or famous heroes fighting to defend the galaxy. Historically, the targets of their aggression have been the forces of the Dark Queen – a self-styled empress with dreams of galactic conquest and a bad habit of hurling insults as she orders her animal armies into battle. Almost three decades on from the Battletoads’ debut outing, new devel…
