In the event that this does still occur, activating the menu button a second time will close the menu (before, no input was accepted once the menu was st…

- Knockout League Body Blow Update Coming Soon! (Patch 1.07 Notes Here) - 25 June 2018
Hi everyone! We’re getting ready to release a free content update for Knockout League! For this update, we focused on new features that align with some community requests we’ve seen for our training modes. We hope you enjoy it! Please keep in mind that the leaderboards for both Reflex Alley and Focus Mitts will be reset due to the number of changes and additions made to the two game modes. Once the patch drops, Stamina Mode Hard will be the new leaderboard-enabled game mode for both training games. Internally, we still have access to the old leaderboard data, so we are looking at ways we might be able to make it publicly accessible in the future. The patch is planned to go live next Friday (6/29). Here’s specific info about what you can expect: Features: Added new body blow punches to Focus Mitts and Reflex Alley Added gameplay modifications panel to Focus Mitts (No Body Blows, No Voice…

- Iron Update Patch: 8/14/17 - 14 August 2017
It’s time for the second major update for Knockout League! We’re super excited to release a new character, Iron Maiden. She’s fast, frantic, and very spiky. Better watch where you place your punches! We’re also releasing another training game, Reflex Alley. Doug’s taking you out back and introducing you to his famous creation, the Doug-o-Matic 5000. It’s one of Doug’s favorite training tools, and we hope you like it too! You’ll have to dodge, block, and punch the various objects that are launched by the Doug-o-Matic 5000. And if you think you have what it takes, see how long you can last in Stamina Mode. Just make sure you have a workout towel handy… We also changed/added some gameplay features: Crimson Fang She now takes damage on every hit you land, instead of only taking damage in her stun state. She also no longer restarts her attack chain from the beginning if you are hit by one of…

- Community Update: 5/4/2017 - 5 May 2017
Hello everyone! I wanted to provide a quick overview of the content you can expect in some upcoming early access patches (release dates still TBD). We will be releasing a new character named Iron Maiden! The combination of her spiky plate armor and her frantic style will definitely keep you on your toes. If you haven’t seen it already, you can catch a sneak peak of her in our previously released fitness update trailer on our Steam store page. Also, we will be releasing a new training game! This training game will push your reflexes and decision-making to the limit as you punch, block, or dodge different objects that Doug launches at you. Finally, we will be releasing a new game mode we call Rematch Mode (name subject to change). Each time you beat the normal mode of a fighter, you will unlock their counterpart in Rematch Mode. These Rematch Mode versions of our fighters are faster, stro…

To view it, click the address bar at the top of the explorer window and type \App…
