The game first jumped into the public eye last year during the Steam Summer Games Festival when a small, playable demo was made available to try. Helmed by Recreate Games, Party Animals asks the question: What if a bunch of puppies and other cute critters decided to beat each other senseless? While Party Animals bears a striking resemblance to earlier titles like Gang Beasts and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, it is a new project from a new development team. The game is confirmed to be a console launch exclusive for the Xbox ecosystem and should provide countless hours of not-so-lighthearted fun. While it appears to be a new IP, Party Animals looks like it shares some DNA with Gang Beasts.


We'll bring you more on Party Animals, including any potential release date info, as soon as we get it.One of the more unique showings we saw today during the Microsoft & Bethesda E3 2021 Showcase was from Party Animals. No official announcement has yet been made regarding a PlayStation or Switch version of the game, but there's almost certainly demand for it.

When it does, it'll hit PC and Xbox consoles. We don't yet know exactly when you'll be able to get your hands on Party Animals this year or whether it'll be delayed, but we're seriously hoping that it does arrive in 2022. Party Animals has had a major systems overhaul and its devs are still hard at work on it. If you can imagine Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (which is going free-to-play soon) but with animals instead of jellybeans and fighting instead of Saturday night gameshow games, then you're on the right track. Unlike games like Gori: Cuddly Carnage, Party Animals is wholesome and cute, with lots of exaggerated animations and over-the-top moments. Party Animals is a super-cute animal-themed multiplayer fighter with a "realistic physics engine" and plenty of different animals to play as. There's even a pug in a luchador mask, and believe it or not, some community members actually found it within themselves to downvote said pug. The studio has also compiled a whole bunch of community suggestions for characters over on a separate Steam post, some of which are super adorable. Recreate says it's revamped animals' mouths so that they have teeth, and you'll be able to see their teeth and tongue if they get knocked out. There's plenty more in the new Steam update, too. All of this goes together to put Party Animals in what Recreate calls "production hell", but the studio points to major devs like CD Projekt Red and Rockstar having experienced this as proof that it's a pretty universal development experience. There's also the Shanghai lockdown, which has impacted other devs too and which Recreate says has posed a "new efficiency challenge". Recreate points to a fairly sizable team expansion as one of the reasons for development delays the dev team is three times as big as it was when work on Party Animals began, and this necessitates more communication and planning between staffers. The studio says it wants to launch the game in 2022, although there could be delays "due to quality and compliance approvals". In an announcement on the Party Animals Steam page, developer Recreate Games outlines some of the challenges it's been facing when creating Party Animals, as well as revealing a tentative Party Animals release window. When is the Party Animals release window?
