- Divine Knockout Sunset - 17 February 2025
Hey KO Crew, As announced a few months ago Divine Knockout has now been sunset and is no longer available for play. Thank you again for your continued support and passion over the years.
- An Update on Divine Knockout - 18 October 2024
To our DKO community, It’s with a heavy heart from all of us at Red Beard Games that we have to inform you that as part of Hi-Rez’s recent re-org, DKO will be sunset and the servers shut down on February 17, 2025 12:00 PM EDT. Following this date the game will be removed from digital storefronts and you will no longer be able to purchase it and any related content such as DLC. Thank You! We can’t thank you enough for brawling it out across the various arenas these last two years! Watching you all master combos and knock each other out of the arena over and over has been incredible. A couple of months ago we made all skins and gods in DKO effectively free. You can continue to enjoy these until the servers sunset. On behalf of everyone at Red Beard Games, thank you for enjoying DKO with us!

- Patch Notes | Loki Update - 8 March 2023
New God: Loki Loki is a trickster, his agility and precision in using daggers make him unpredictable and lethal on the battleground. His acrobatic playstyle is even more powerful while in the air, thanks to empowered attacks. He is also a master of illusions and effects, employing invisibility, poison, magical daggers that obscure the vision of his opponents, and the most powerful trick of all, the creation of a clone that explodes at his command. https://webcdn.hirezstudios.com/dko-cdn/Social_Loki_Default_1920x1080_374827955e.png Wallpapers: 3840x2160 | 2560x1440 | 1920x1080 | 1080x1920 Abilities Acrobatic Vault Loki leaps into the air with momentum.

- Bonus Patch Notes | Quests Update - 15 February 2023
We want to share some updates and context around balance changes that we will implement as soon as possible. These mainly include changes to Sol and Susano. We’re adjusting Sol’s healing capabilities and Susano will receive a couple of nerfs that will adjust his potency for high-skilled players while still maintaining a high level of fun to play him. We want to stress that this is one step to improving balance around your feedback and that there is more to come. We will keep monitoring Susano and other gods and goddesses very closely! Thank you for your feedback on our social media channels and Discord! God Balance Sol In our effort of creating an exciting playstyle for Sol, we went overboard and created a balance problem. We will be adjusting further in the next patch but for now, we’re reverting our change to the “Healing Flame” talent. Talents Healing Flame: Reduced healing from 2 to…

- Patch Notes | Sun Wukong Update - 24 January 2023
New God: Sun Wukong The playful trickster of legend uses his staff and speed to take the fight to his enemies and leave them no room to breathe. Capable alone or as part of a team, even more so when his clone is on the field. Abilities 72 Transformations Sun Wukong transforms into an animal and dashes forward. If used on the ground, he becomes a tiger and, from the air, an eagle. Refire the ability to break out of the movement early and attack an opponent in range.

- New God - Zeus, King of Olympus! - 3 January 2023
New God - Zeus Ruler of Mount Olympus, this mighty God of lightning commands respect and awe from his foes! His ability to cast & control the arena through shocking displays makes him a formidable ally or enemy! Here's a brief glimpse at his kit: Surge Zeus dashes forward, damaging enemies along the way. Zeus can refire this ability within a limited window to dash again. Bolt of Olympus Zeus holds a bolt of Olympus aloft before throwing the projectile forward, stopping on first enemy hit. If Zeus holds and charges it, it deals increased damage, becomes a large projectile, and will shock enemies near the target. Thunderstruck Calling down thunder from the sky, Zeus strikes 3 areas in a line in front of him in a quick sequence. Enemies hit by the initial 2 strikes take damage and are pushed into the next hit. Enemies hit by the final strike take increased damage and heavy knockback. Ultim…
