New Battletoads Coming to Xbox One, PC, Steam, and Xbox Game Pass on August 20


The reboot of Rare and Dlala Studios from Battletoads It will arrive on Xbox One and Windows PC, through Windows 10 and Steam, on August 20, Microsoft announced on Friday. The game will launch on Xbox Game Pass for console and PC.

The new Battletoads is a three-player retro beat-’em-up / platform. And yes, the grueling bike racing segments are back, only from a different perspective, as you can see from the release date preview. Battletoads It supports local input and output cooperative games, and promises “difficulty settings designed for everyone from Tadpole to Battletoad.”

Microsoft announced the new Battletoads at E3 2018, revealing the game’s hand-drawn art style and developer Dlala Studios’ involvement. Original Battletoads Developer Rare is engaged in a collaborative capacity.

Originally released in 1991 by Rare for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Battletoads It has long been a badge of courage for any player brave enough to prove it. Was a excessively hard game, gaining internet meme status a decade ago. The game is included in Rare reproduction, a collection of studio games for Xbox One.
