Next-gen console owners, rejoice! The PS5 and Xbox Series X version of the hit 3D platformer Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is now online.
Publisher Untold Tales confirmed rolling out Bang-On Balls: Chronicles for PlayStation and Xbox's next-gen devices last March 5. The ported version of the game also received significant upgrades to fit PS5 and Xbox Series X requirements. These included upgrading its visuals to 4k resolution.
Players can also expect smoother gameplay with an enhanced frame rate of 60 frames per second, developers from Exit Plan Games said.
“This new-gen upgrade allows for the smoothest, shiniest experience yet, so if you’ve not played Bang-On Balls: Chronicles before, now would be a great time to hop in!” said Damien Monnier, Co-Founder and Design Director at Exit Plan.
PS4 and Xbox One users who owned the game can get the upgrade for free, publishers added.
Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is Exit Plan's take on the countryball art, presented in 3D platforming style. The game is also inspired by popular arcade games in the 1990s, according to its creators. In it, players control the protagonist BOB as he embarks on an epic and chaotic quest.
The 'quirky' game also features worlds inspired by world history. From the Vikings to feudal Japan, players can bounce and destroy enemies between multiple (slightly inaccurate) historically themed open worlds.
It can support single-player and multiplayer modes. In co-op, players have the option to do a split-screen for two players and online for a team of four players.
Bang-On Balls: Chronicles was first launched last October 2023. It released on PC, and Switch, Xbox One, and PS4. It quickly became a commercial and critical success.
It received its highest playscore on PC with 9.1. / ###
