On August 20, players will be able to dive into an all-new Battletoads adventure when the game launches with Xbox Game Pass and on Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam. Zitz, Rash and Pimple will be brawling, shooting and quipping their way through multi-genre gameplay that challenges them to overcome everything from street fights to space battles, all enjoyable with up to three players thanks to drop-in couch co-op.
Tying all of those varied moments together are, of course, the enemy encounters that put the battle in Battletoads. If you’re eager to get to grips with the distinct play style of each member of the trio and the morph attacks you’ll be unleashing as you smash your way to victory, we recommend checking out our recent ‘Brawling Battletoads’ video:
Alongside the riotous fisticuffs and cartoon-style comedy there’ll also be plenty of fun achievements to earn, one or two of which demand skills worthy of the ’Toads themselves!
