Hello and welcome to VGU In Memoriam!<\/p>\n

2023 has been full of MANY studio closures, online game service shutdowns, and support stoppages. So we here at VGU wanted to shine a light on as many of these games as we could!<\/p>\n

Today, the whole team moves into Knockout City, where dodgeball never sleeps! Emmett shows us all around a game we wish we’d given more time to before 2023. Truly, one of our favorites in this series. You will be missed.
\nThough they say a PC-exclusive version is still out there? Hmm…<\/p>\n
