Publisher Untold Tales and developer Exit Plan announced the open-world platforming adventure game, Bang-On Balls: Chronicles, will launch for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam on October 5. It will also launch later for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

"Throughout our careers, we’ve been making games that demanded a very high level of production on a lot of fronts," said Exit Plan co-founder Damien Monnier. "Tight controls, varied gameplay, smart level design, loads of content, intricate AI systems, the list goes on. All so that these massive maps felt alive and fun to play in for hours and hours.

"Despite now being an indie dev, we applied the exact same approach and standards here. The game is fundamentally built around the idea of giving players something that is absolutely stuffed with varied things to do but is always fun to play. It’s something that can easily be fired up for a few relaxing minutes and feel like you made progress, or be a game you play for 40 hours or more."
