Ever since mankind climbed out of the primordial soup, we have shared a common dream: to build giant robots and engage in mechanized combat sports!

Override: Mech City Brawl, releasing later this year, may allow us a closer chance of realizing this long sought-after dream than ever before.

Described as a “3-D mech-based party brawler”, Override: Mech City Brawl will allow hearty warriors to virtually strap themselves into a giant robot, and then live out their greatest combat fantasies against other giant robots set amidst a backdrop of destructible cities. While the concept sounds like it might be geared exclusively towards the technically-minded, the “party” aspect in Override: Mech City Brawl means that you wont have to be extraordinarily astute in traditional fighting game mechanics to be able to jump in and have a great time.

Think of it as a cross between Nintendo’s ARMS and Sony’s classic, War of the Monsters.

Override: Mech City Brawl’s 12 mechs can be fully customized with a number of parts that can be unlocked throughout the course of the game, and each of the different mechs has their own unique assortment of special moves to efficiently dispatch their rivals.

A number of different play modes will be available in Override: Mech City Brawl. Two players can take each other on in a battle for supremacy, or up to four friends can join the fight in 2-on-2 teams or in a wild 4-player battle royale.

Check out the preview trailer below, then be sure to check out Overridegame.com to sign up for the free online beta, which will be live August 10th – 12th.

Override: Mech City Brawl is scheduled to launch on December 4th, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
