Publisher and developer Two Lives Left announced that players can now register for the Punchimals Closed Beta prior to launch in 2024. However, there is no specific date given for when the closed beta will take place.

Punchimals, a physics-based 2.5D fighting indie game lets players pilot giant mechs using cute chubby animals duking it out to one another. While on the surface the game seems easy to grasp, Punchimals has deep mechanics for seasoned fighting game players. With control over the mech via the left analogue stick, and its fists via the right, the gameplay presents fast-paced strategic combat for everyone to enjoy. As players progress in skills, they will learn advanced mechanics, such as feints, wall bounces, parries, unique abilities, and strategic super moves.

Furthermore, both on the couch and online, players can engage in one-on-one combat or play Tag and Tandem for team-based fun. Explore more of the vibrant world in Arcade mode or battle against CPU. No matter the choice, you’ll get to experience fighting unique giant mechs in this upcoming fighting game!

More key features of Punchimals include:

• Dual-analogue physics-based mech combat
• Easy-to-learn mechanics that reward skill and mastery
• Local and online multiplayer (with rollback netcode)
• Single Player Campaign
• Giant mechs
• Vibrant arenas
• Adorably chubby animal pilots

Interested players can now register here in taking part in any upcoming Closed Beta of the game. Punchimals is slated to launch sometime in 2024 and is now available to wishlist on Steam.
