DKO, or Divine Knockout, is an all-new 3rd person platform fighter. Choose from an expanding roster of Gods and Goddesses from mythological pantheons across the globe. Battle enemy Gods in 3v3, 2v2, and 1v1 modes.

Which platforms is DKO available on?

DKO is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

Does DKO have cross-play and cross-progression?

Yes! DKO features both cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms, so you can play with friends wherever they play and bring your progress with you if you change platforms.

Note that purchasing DKO on one platform will not give you access to play DKO on other platforms. You must have access to DKO on a platform (either by purchasing an Edition or getting an access key in a giveaway) in order to be able to play on that platform.

What is the Founders Period all about?

DKO is currently in its Founders Period. DKO is a living game and we intend to add significant features and content to the game over the coming months. Founders will help guide the direction of the game as we work closely with the community.

During this phase, the main way to access the game will be by purchasing a Founders Edition for the game.

Is DKO going to be free-to-play eventually?

After the Founders Period ends, DKO may become free-to-play. Note that we expect the Founders Period to last several months at minimum, and that each Edition contains in-game content unlocks valued at more than the cost of the Edition.

How do I link my accounts for cross-play and cross-progression?
