Pillow Champ (Official Teaser Trailer)

The year is 2024, and humanity has achieved world peace through the single greatest activity ever invented: pillow fighting. Pillow Champ is a hot new take on the fighting game genre, calling back to classics like Street Fighter 2 with punchy action, a range of game modes, and an irreverent, fluffy setting. Enter the Pillow Champ tournament, a series of events and challenges that have altered society. Unravel the mystery of the Pillow Knights, a secret society seeking to drag pillow fighting back into the dark. Clean a car using only acrobatic pillow attacks, as our ancestors always intended. With a narrative penned by Xalavier Nelson Jr. (of El Paso, Elsewhere), Pillow Champ seeks to deconstruct the fighting game genre. Replacing a blade with a pillow, blood with feathers, suffering with pleasure, and grunts with laughter, this isn’t the same fighting game you grew up with. But it kind-of-sort-of-is, too. Pillow Champ includes a distinct set of characters and locations. A South Asian grandmother, a non-binary nurse, a campground in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each character’s movement is informed by a specific cultural touchstone. From old time strongman routines to classic Bollywood movies to Muay Thai to Kendo and everything between. // Features Include: * Master the skills of 8 pillow-wielding warriors to become the ultimate Pillow Champ! * Smack your way to the top with robust single-player options including a career mode with upgradeable character skills, and an extensive story mode (2 character stories included at launch)! * Pillow fight your friends in local multiplayer, and challenge the world in online multiplayer supported by rollback netcode! * Character stories created by prolific game writer Xalavier Nelson Jr. (Hypnospace Outlaw, Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, etc.)! * A soundtrack you will play on repeat while you work, guaranteed. * A man entirely composed of pillows. Somebody free him from this torment. Please. * The best mobile controls ever in a fighting game (as easy and natural as texting).
