Game Rant can exclusively reveal that the popular 3D platformerBang-On Balls: Chronicles is getting a next-gen update for PS5 and Xbox Series X on March 5. Developed by Exit Plan Games, Bang-On Balls: Chronicles was first released last year for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, earning mostly positive reviews from critics for its sense of humor, unique 3D platforming challenges, interesting worlds, and co-op support for both local and online players.
Critics weren't the only ones impressed by Bang-On Balls: Chronicles. The 3D platformer managed to secure an «Overwhelmingly Positive» rating from Steam users as well, solidifying it as one of 2023's sleeper hits. Soon 3D platformer fans will get to experience the game in a whole new light thanks to the Bang-On Balls: Chronicles next-gen update.
The Bang-On Balls: Chroniclesnext-gen update is coming on March 5 and will bring with it support for 4K resolution and 60 FPS. Anyone that already owns Bang-On Balls: Chronicles on PS4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade for free. Those that have yet to check the game out should definitely consider doing so come March 5, as the next-gen update should ensure that they are playing the best version of Bang-On Balls: Chronicles possible.
For those unfamiliar with it, Bang-On Balls: Chronicles takes inspiration from classic 3D platformers like Super Mario, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic, and Jak and Daxter, but with one big feature that really helps it stand out: 4-player online co-op and 2-player split-screen Whereas most 3D platformers are strictly single-player affairs, Bang-On Balls: Chronicles lets players experience the entire game with friends in co-op. Bang-On Balls: Chronicles co-op players aren't tethered together either; they're free to go off completely on their own in each of the game's large sandbox levels, completing objectives, finding collectibles, and more.
Another big selling point for Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is that players are able to customize their characters with the items they collect while exploring its worlds. While other games may sell this kind of content through microtransactions, Bang-On Balls: Chronicles has no cosmetic paid DLC at all.
The next-gen update for Bang-On Balls: Chronicles could potentially draw new players to the 3D platformer as well as convince lapsed players to give it another look. The developers have said that there's even more new content on the way for Bang-On Balls: Chronicles, so it will be exciting to see what else the game has in store. In the meantime, players should be prepared to do some bizarre things if they hope to unlock all the Bang-On Balls: Chronicles achievements/trophies on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
