Killer Queen Black, the strategic eight-player action platformer from Liquid Bit and BumbleBear Games, welcomes new challengers when it launches on Xbox Game Pass on January 5.

Hop on the snail, hoard berries, or wipe out the enemy’s queen to claim victory. Killer Queen Black is the acclaimed arcade phenomenon redesigned from the ground up for PC and console. The gameplay is immediately recognizable and familiar, yet introduces exciting new mechanics and online play for the home audience.

Rally up for arcade-style single-screen four versus four battles for the hive. Transform Workers to Warriors and dethrone your opponent in one of three ways. Crush the enemy queen, ride the snail to victory, or fill your hive with berries to claim victory.

The Xbox version includes previous improvements to the game including quick access for party and friends lists, updated voice chat and privacy settings, and on-the-fly local controller additions. Cross-platform competition with Nintendo Switch and PC players means there’s always someone to spar with.
