We wanted to let you know that Double Kick Heroes will be leaving Early Access on August 13th 😈

It’s time to jump out of the mosh-pit and into your Gundillac, Sheila, and take on the baddest of badasses and survive in this metal moshing and mayhemic post-apocalyptic nightmarish wasteland.

"Man, it’s been a long journey but we’re pumped to be finally sharing Double Kick Heroes with you all" David Elahee - Headbang Club. "We hope that you love our game as much as we do and enjoy the kick-ass soundtrack we’ve put together to celebrate all things metal. We can’t wait for people to try out air controls for Nintendo Switch which is a heap load of metallic fun, but please drum responsibly".

As well as leaving Early Access, Double Kick Heroes will launch on Nintendo Switch on August 13th, followed by a simultaneous release on Game Pass for Xbox One and PC and the Xbox and Microsoft Store on August 28th!!!
