Peace to all the fans of Beatdown City, current, past and future!
As you probably know, we unfortunately had to push back the Ultra Remix update. This wasn't done lightly as there were a bunch of reasons why we had to. Mostly exciting, some mundane. As we’ve mentioned before, the update is DOUBLE the size of the original game and most of the dev work has happened in the last year (vs. the many more years for the base game.)
The Ultra Remix update is so big, I consider it Treachery in Beatdown City 2.0. And still everyone who owns the game on PC/Switch is getting that update for free as a thank you for rocking with us these last few years.

This will also be the first time that Xbox and Mac (native) fans will get the game. We’re hoping to announce the other console maker, but can’t yet, for… reasons.
We’re currently polishing everything up, and we will announce a new date when we are in/through Xbox/Switch console cert. It shouldn’t be much longer now, but I don’t want to announce another date that needs pushing again.
There’s so much stuff coming (including a dope new trailer, with a REMIXED track), but for now, here’s 6-ish dope things to look forward to:
Gameplay Updates
1. NEW DEFENSIVE MOVES
Based on feedback and our own wants, we're including new Defense moves including Rolls and Parries.
- Rolls give you a way to avoid frontal attacks completely and counter attack!
- Parries give you a way to reduce damage, while building REVENGE meter faster
2. NEW ATTACKS!
- Including On the Ground attacks.
These are exciting ways to end fights quicker.
- Oh and some cool attacks like this that really change the whole game!
3. NEW ENEMY TYPES!
Enemies will be showing up with lots of new attack types. Like this spinning lariat attack.
4. NEW MUSIC!
We've got a ton of new music coming.
We're even adding new music to old levels. Here’s a new track for map 1-2.
We used to have one song for all 5 maps. Now we have a song for each!
5. TUTORIALS!
With the update adding so much, we realized we needed to add some tutorials. And while we were at it, we started adding new tutorials for the early parts of the game as well.
It's not the coolest thing to show but TRUST US it's worth it.
Do YOU know how Bruce's Hidden Techniques work? Most don't!
6. QUALITY OF LIFE!
We've worked on making the whole game feel/present better.
We can’t really SHOW you how much better the game feels, but here’s one thing we can show - Attack/AUTO COMBO Previews
Instead of telling you what’s in an AUTO COMBO you can see it!
That’s just a tiny fraction of what’s coming up.
If you can add the Ultra Remix DLC to your Steam wishlist that would rule - https://bit.ly/ultrabeatdown - it helps the robot overlords know that people like us.
Thanks for reading, and if you want to keep up to date - we’re getting more active in the Discord. https://discord.gg/tibc and on the unfortunate trash fire that is twitter https://twitter.com/beatdown_City/. Between the 2, we’re going to be doing some giveaways that you won’t want to miss!
Otherwise our next *BIG* update will be when we have a release date for Ultra Remix!
