Over the last year or so we have been hard at work on a follow up to our free to play game Knight Club. During development, we had been using the name Knight Club: Deluxe as a working title. Today we would like to announce the new name of the game!

Sometime during the development, we realized that we were adding so much new content that simply throwing “Deluxe” on to the end of the existing name just wasn’t enough to set the new game apart from the first release. This name better reflects the new mechanical changes, specifically being able to wield multiple weapons, present in the upcoming release. This is a true sequel to Knight Club!

In Duel Arms, all weapons have been given new moves from the previous game, and all-new weapons have been added. We have also added a new mechanic called Side Arms, which allow you to pick a second weapon to take into battle. Side Arms are similar to special moves that you may find in other fighting games. Fireballs, bombs, summons, and more are all tied to specific Side Arms. Any Side Arm can be used alongside any Main Weapon to allow you to create a unique playstyle all your own.

Here is a quick bullet list of new features and mechanics.

• Customizable characters with 1000+ cosmetics
  
• All new music and sound effects
  
• All new stage art and animations
