News: A new platformer fighting title will arrive on Xbox One and PC in 2018 where the underpants you wear will help determine the victor.

Brief Battles, a fast-paced, underwear-fueled platform fighter from Juicy Cupcake that's easy to approach and rewarding to master, will simultaneously release on Xbox One and PC in Q1 2018.

Brief Battles will invite up to four players to leap, dodge and smash their way through colorful 2.5D arenas, butting others out of the couch gaming competition as they strive to prove they have the mightiest buns.

Characters will gain absurd talents by donning an arsenal of powerful underpants and deploying their attire's abilities in arenas full of interactive elements and distinctive hazards including ice-slicked floors, pools of acid and collapsing platforms. Vibrant locales and goofy abilities boost the game's lighthearted humor, blending bright palettes with plump heroes to provide an inviting atmosphere for all ages.

Brief Battles will offer a butt load of match types, including contests beyond free for all and team bouts. Hold the Gold rewards players who strut the longest in a hefty pair of golden briefs as friends force them to drop trou, while Underpants Collector encourages out-hoarding fellow undergarment enthusiasts. A single-player wave mode, target practice stages and more secret-for-now modes will also celebrate fantastical drawers.

"Brief Battles' jovial premise is an open invitation for any group to enjoy playful clashes and unite through a shared passion for couch gaming platform fighters," said Andrew Freeth, co-founder, Juicy Cupcake. "With a wealth of match types, arena styles and power-ups, there will be ample opportunity to spar with an array of quirky briefs during any game night."
