Killer Queen Black Gets Nintendo Switch and Xbox One Physical Release

Killer Queen Black, the strategic eight-player arcade action platformer from Liquid Bit and BumbleBear Games, will have a physical edition for Nintendo Switch coming this summer and in the fall for Xbox One, courtesy of distributor Nighthawk Interactive.

With a not-too-bad price tag of $29.99, the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One retail releases will include exclusive Killer Queen Black-themed controller skins that’ll be worth buzzing about with friends. Pre-orders for the physical version of the game are currently available for both platforms via GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy.

If you haven’t stepped in an arcade or even an arcade bar in a while, there’s this arcade party game phenomenon called Killer Queen. Killer Queen Black is just like the original Killer Queen, but it’s been rebuilt from the ground up and optimized for console. With a Glam Rock-inspired 16-bit pixel art style and rocking ‘80s metal tunes to match, any retro game fan that plays Killer Queen Black will surely recall the good old days of spending hours at arcades.

In the game, players will battle for the hive online in two teams of four (Gold versus Blue), comprised of one Queen and three Workers. Furthermore, players will even have the chance to take on opponents from other platforms thanks to the game having full cross-play support across Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox One.

What’s also new with Killer Queen Black compared to the original is that it’ll introduce a new team, the Black team. Any team that faces and triumphs over the Black team dethrones them and takes their place. These relentless competitions will be constantly streamed online to spotlight skilled gameplay and keep the buzz going around the coveted Black team position.
