Lethal League Blaze is an intense, high speed ball game, with unique characters, out of sight sounds and none of that weak shit.

- Highly competitive gameplay

Lethal League Blaze is the sequel to the popular projectile-fighting game Lethal League, to be released in 2018 on PC and console. This time around there will be more characters and gamemodes to choose from. Team Reptile upped their game with improved, high resolution graphics, but the game still maintains the extreme, responsive experience of the original Lethal League.

One of the new characters will be the final boss of the previous game, Doombox. Doombox is an out of control experiment that escaped and took hold of the first machine it could find, an old boombox.

Find out more about the game in the coming months, that is, if you're in the Reptile Hideout or following any of the Team Reptile social outlets!

This was one of the more fun couch competitive/co-op multiplayer games I'd played alongside the likes of Nidhogg but it never felt like it got quite the attention it deserved. Glad to see them back and at it again.

 

[Neptonic]

YES
YES
YES

 

[Granjinha]

oh fuck YES

i loved LOVED the first one.

 

[Leafhopper]

Oh crazy.

 

[Codeblue]

Where the hell did this come from? Amazing news.

Lethal League was such a stylish a fun game. They already confirmed Candyman, so I'm set. Hope the soundtrack is just as good as the first one. I still have some of that music in my rotation.

 

[Puruzi]

Holy fucking shit a Lethal League sequel? Fuck yes this shit is gonna be dope as FUCK

 

[RecRoulette]

God that trailer is so good, loved that remix of Ordinary Days.

Cool to see that Doombox is playable as well, along with his annoying as hell sound effects.

Edit: "Join our discord for more updates" isn't something I've seen a lot. Beats another email newsletter I guess.

 

[MLCodest]

Absolutely loved the first game. Just work out some of the netcode issues and I'll be the happiest camper.

 

[shiftplusone]

lethal league so gud

god damn this is hype

 

[Ghostbound]

I would have never expected this game to get a sequel. Can't wait.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Cool to see Lethal League get a sequel

 

[Geminosity]

As much as I enjoyed lethal league, wand wars kind of replaced it for me. Curious to see if Blaze can make LL take the bouncing deathmatch crown back for me and my friends :3

 

[Gunkankun]

Yeah!! Very excited. Lethal league was the goto couch coop game for a long time.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Not the Blaze I was look for.

 

[Rhanitan]

4 players is all I needed to hear.

 

[GinoFelino]

Awesome! They missed momentum bringing the first one to consoles

Hopefully this will give them the success they deserve

 

[Dremorak]

They dont say which consoles right? Sounds like a great local co op game

 

[iavi]

That trailer was hype as fuck.

First one was an amazing party game.

In

 

[HotHamBoy]

They dont say which consoles right? Sounds like a great local co op game

LL is already on PS4 and XB1 so both are probably a given.

Switch would be a great fit, though. The problem for me is the lack of D-Pad on JoyCons.

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

Sign me up for more ball-smacking.

 

[Sebastiano]

I never played the first but it looks really fun, will surely try the next one!

 

[Puruzi]

logo looks like Blazblue

 

[bounchfx]

fuck yes

 

[Twenty7KVN]

I hate to be that guy but i need this on the switch.

 

[jotun?]

Absolutely loved the first game. Just work out some of the netcode issues and I'll be the happiest camper.

For how fast the game is, the online play works pretty well. Hell of a lot better than Smash at least.

Playing against people on other continents is rough, but there's not much that can be done about that

 

[K.Sabot]

Gonna need that ordinary days remix right now.

 

[Ganado]

IM IN, FUCKING LOVE THE ORIGINAL

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Sooooo glad to see this hidden gem get a sequel!

 

[J@hranimo]

This game is actually cool as shit, glad to see a sequel!

 

[Tregard]

PLAY BALL.

 

[IcyStorm]

"One of the new characters will be the final boss of the previous game, Doombox. Doombox is an out of control experiment that escaped and took hold of the first machine it could find, an old boombox."

... wait what, did Lethal League have a single player mode?

 

[Messofanego]

Lethal League is the most popular couch game in my house, so I'm sure my relatives are excited as well.

 

[Ganado]

... wait what, did Lethal League have a single player mode?

More like a challenge mode.

 

[ArjanN]

... wait what, did Lethal League have a single player mode?

Yeah. It was fairly basic, aside from the boss which was pretty neat.

 

[LucidMomentum]

UFGT's Grand Finals made this game look so good.

[Cody_D165]

Fuck yes I'm so in

 

[drac96]

This is the news I'm glad I got, but didn't really know I wanted. Over the last few years I have played Lethal League a ton. Can't wait to see what the new characters are like.

I guess I don't really count Doombox, since you can use a code and play as him now haha.

 

[Giga Man]

Dag gummit! I bought the original a long time ago and still haven't played it yet. Guess I better start soon.

 

[FogKnight]

Man I should play the original one more! Really looking forward to the sequel too.

 

[Calm Mind]

Klaus Veen for the entire OST please!

 

[TheRed]

Oh shit yes! I was literally just thinking the original should be way more popular. Hype! I will buy this day 1.

 

[Deft Beck]

Astounding news!

 

[QFNS]

Lethal League is so rad, I am extremely excited for another one. Let's do it!

 

[membran]

This is one of those games I have to list in a text file because the announcement doesn't come with a wishlistable Steam store page.

 

[AllGamer]

Can't wait for my friends to come over, have a few beers and play this all night.

 

[Qvoth]

oh that baseball game that singsing played

 

[Mechazawa]

The developers did a livestream of the game. Some notable changes from the first:

-Game defaults to having health bars now rather than rounds being strictly OHK.
-Everyone has a double jump.
-The serving player can move around with the ball before serving now.
-You can grab the ball now. Works similarly to the initial serve/Latch's super from the first game.
-The grab has a secondary function as a counter to the parry. If you grab in response to a parry, you'll immediately chuck it back at the person parrying. But you'll eat shit if you try to grab out of a predicted parry and the other players ends up not doing it.
-Since the game has healthbars now, it seems like there's now knockdown on characters too. You can apparently emit some kind of electric field and grab the ball on wakeup when you get knocked down.

 

[Puruzi]

watched the stream earlier, game looks great. really hyped

 

[Vic]

GOTY 2018!
