With the incredible range of quirky party games to enjoy on Xbox and Game Pass currently, to call yourself the ‘best game for a Saturday night with friends’ is a bold claim. Recreate Games have stated as such regarding their new colourful brawler Party Animals.

Immediately calling to mind Gang Beasts, it’s time to beat our friends up with lovable characters in a cutesy cartoon world!

Action-Packed!

Available now on Xbox, Game Pass and PC – a console-exclusive, mind you – Party Animals sees up to eight online players (local split-screen is also available) face off in a variety of crazy fighting matches.

Set on one of a number of unique arenas, each with their own hazards, your goal is to knock the other players off of the map, whilst relentlessly avoiding attacks coming for you. Whether you take the pig, rabbit or adorable doggie into battle, all action in Party Animals will have cuteness and wackiness at the forefront!

Over 200 cosmetic items will be calling your name as you strive to unlock them. As you play through the 20 different maps across three distinct game modes, you’ll slowly accrue enough currency to deck out your characters in your own style.

A Word from the Devs…

The development of Party Animals has been a tumultuous period. But finally have Recreate Games manage to launch their creation into the ether. Zixiong – Producer and Art Director on the game – had this to say on the occasion:

Our team is so happy that Party Animals has officially launched! We are incredibly thankful for the support and patience from our community over the years and we can’t wait to hear from more players as they experience the full game. We hope everyone enjoys some fun times with friends and makes some new ones within the game!

Key Features

• Unique Physics Engine – Completely physics-driven character movements lead to seemingly haphazard, floppy, unpredictable, and hilarious encounters. Will your punch land in that sweet spot and send your foe flying off the stage, or will it knock your own character completely off balance?
• Variety of Game Modes – With 20 different maps and 3 game modes to choose from, including free-for-all skirmishes and objective-based gameplay, players will journey through an eclectic mix of environments where anything can happen – such as all-out lollipop warfare between a cute dinosaur and a fluffy shark!
• Cute Animals – Choose your character from a diverse cast of adorable animals, customize their appearance, and dive into the cuddle puddle mosh pit!
• Collect Cosmetic Items – Over 200 cosmetic items, such as animals and outfits, can be unlocked by acquiring in-game currencies through gameplay or purchasing them. Cosmetics are purely aesthetic and do not provide any gameplay advantages… aside from being cuter than your opponents, of course!
• Seamless Crossplay – With cross-platform play between PC and Xbox, no friend will be left behind in this whirlwind of absurdity. Say goodbye to the fear of missing out on the nonsensical shenanigans—everyone’s invited to the party!
