Rare have announced the release date for DLaLa Studios’ couch co-op beat ’em up Battletoads (2020).

One to three players can jump into a new adventure with Rash, Zitz and Pimple; seemingly being convinced by the Dark Queen to defate the Topians. Using entirely hand-drawn graphics, players can pummel through enemies with wacky combos and Morph Attacks, and narrowly avoid hazards on turbo-bikes.

You can find the release date trailer below.

You can find the full rundown (via Xbox) below.

The wait is over! Rash, Zitz and Pimple are returning at last to smash-hit their way through an all-new action-packed adventure of choreographed chaos, and couch co-op may never be the same again.

1-3 players will take control of the Battletoads and team up to storm through wild and unpredictable stages with only one rule – expect the unexpected. Teamwork makes the dream work in a drop-in, drop-out gameplay blast, filled with over-the-top gameplay moments that anyone can enjoy, but only a True ‘Toad’ can master.

With a unique hand-animated cartoon style and packed with memorable characters and locations, the Battletoads are back for a larger-than-life brawl across the universe that promises to be fun alone, and unforgettable together.

Battletoads launches August 20th on Windows PC (via Steam), and Xbox One (also via Xbox Game Pass).
