Independent developer Pathea Games, the studio behind popular sandbox RPG, My Time at Portia, has announced that its upcoming award-winning 3v3 eSports phenomenon, Super Buckyball Tournament, has launched its Preseason via Steam for free throughout December 6th at 12 AM PST.
In addition to the six characters, two stadiums and mission system featured during the game’s open alpha earlier this year, preseason content will include new challenger Samba, two Arcade modes (Dodgeball mode and Mayhem mode), a new lobby, in-game background music, a comprehensive collection of skins (which includes accessories and player icons), and a season pass with 60 levels. Fans will be able to level up their season pass by completing daily and weekly challenges and earning special rewards.
“Speed, strategy and intensity are at the forefront of our minds as we tinker away on the next esports smash hit,” says Dylan Li, Producer of Super Buckyball Tournament. “The upcoming preseason will help us further transform this 3v3 physics-based contest into the action-packed, high-adrenaline version we’d like to share with the world next year.”
The title’s two Arcade modes, Dodgeball and Mayhem, will be unlocked once players arrive at season pass level 6. Dodgeball challenges fans to avoid getting hit by two balls while making sure those balls don’t rest on their side of the stadium for more than 12 seconds. Mayhem is a super-powered version of Standard mode, as abilities charge three times faster and players take control of random characters each time a goal is scored. Each mode will be rotated every 24 hours, meaning one will be available to enjoy every day.
