News: Tim Schafer has brought another game to Microsoft’s platform for friends and family to enjoy playing together.

Double Fine and Boneloaf have just released Gang Beasts on Xbox One. To celebrate, Double Fine’s Tim Schafer and other members from the team will be hosting a live stream of Gang Beasts on Mixer this afternoon. The stream kicks off at 3 PM PST which you can view here.

Set in the fictional metropolis of Beef City, Gang Beasts is a silly multiplayer party game with surly gelatinous characters, brutal mêlée fight sequences, and absurdly hazardous environments. As on the other platforms, the Xbox One version will feature: a custom procedural animation system; fun characters that can climb, grab, dive, headbutt, jump, kick, lift, punch, push, pull, slide, & throw; miscellaneous contextual hazards, a soundtrack by Adam (Doseone) Drucker and Robert (Dirty Bob) Larder and much much more.

Some key features include the following:

Custom procedural animation system gives significant variation of character movement

Characters climb, grab, dive, headbutt, jump, kick, lift, punch, push, pull, slide, & throw

Per hand grab mechanics for climbing & dragging, lifting, or throwing objects or enemies

Miscellaneous contextual hazards (Ferris Wheel, Industrial Fans, Shipping Containers)

Soundtrack and game audio by Adam (Doseone) Drucker and Robert (Dirty Bob) Larder

Game Beasts normal price is $19.99, however, it is on sale right now with a 20% discount to celebrate the launch. This sale will go for a couple of weeks until April 9th. Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you pick up Gang Beasts on Xbox One?
