Synopsis:
Pack your dodgeball and energy drinks, it's time to take a trip into the world of Knockout City—a retro-futuristic metropolis with hovercars, jukeboxes, holograms, and high-tech dodgeballs. In this city, any kind of beef is settled in one way: a dodgebrawl battle! Brawlers form Crews and duke it out with their rivals for glory and control of the city streets… at least, until they hear the police sirens closing in! Stranded on the moon, the Pirate Radio DJ plays the hits and shot-calls the brawls. Over the video game's two-year run, the world expanded through Deep Space Dispatches, tales of the chaotic and unpredictable world of KO City. Catch weekly broadcasts of these tales, including the podcast-exclusive final chapter to Knockout City's story! After the finale, stay tuned for exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes commentary from the game developers, voice talent, and everyone responsible for bringing dodgebrawl to life. Turn on, tune in, and KNOCK OUT!

Remembering the good times, the DJ acknowledges things can get “pretty out there” in these parts, but anyone who’s ever thrown a dodgeball knows what’s up: that’s Knockout City, baby!

Who…or what…is Z3R0? The DJ’s very own radio broadcast is hijacked by an ominous voice proclaiming that it has taken control of Knockout City! Both the KO City PD and Perennial Labs are searching for leads on the mysterious purple-and-green eyes popping up all over downtown. Every eye is fixated on watching brawlers in action... but why? The DJ hatches a plan to pin down Z3R0 for a chat over the airwaves, while giving us land-dwellers a peek at life on the abandoned lunar base.
