Multiplayer brawler Gang Beasts releasing on PS4

The long awaited beat ’em up party video game Gang Beasts, based in the the fictional metropolis of Beef City, is coming to Playstation 4 on December 12.

Gang Beasts is a silly multiplayer party game with surly gelatinous characters, brutal melée fight sequences, and absurdly hazardous environments.

James Spafford, Community Manager at publisher Double Fine Productions made the announcement in a blogpost on the official Playstation blog. The game was developed by Beneloaf.

The game released on Steam Early Access for Microsoft Windows on 29 August 2014 and has been tested and reviewed on the Oculus Rift platform.

Players can prepare to scream with horror and delight as gangs of saggy, pugnacious thugs from Beef City punch, kick and slapstick their way across their screen, hurling their foes into hazardous machinery or mercilessly head-butting them into flaming incinerator pits.

Gang Beasts will launch with a whole glut of customisation options, and with several new modes, including clumsy-yet-brutal soccer matches, and a cooperative mode where up to four players battle against waves of thugs.

Furthermore, players can settle their holiday arguments with a trip to Beef City, where harmless, brutal, violence is fun for all the family.

Gang Beasts is released on on December 12th, while until then enthusiastic players can watch the new released trailer.
