Mekko Gameplay Livestream
Mekko is a trash-talking crab-walking dolphin piloting a mech, and the sole survivor of a series of brutal experiments designed to turn ocean dwelling creatures into biological sonic weapons. Aided by Daemon, Mekko escaped captivity and now puts his mechanical-assisted abilities to the test in the Bleeding Edge arenas.
Mekko is a Ranged Tank with limited mobility who can pull allies to safety. By absorbing damage with his bubble shield, Mekko generates Power Orbs which can be used to power up his specials.
Since Mekko won't be in-game until the launch window, watch our stream to get an advance preview of him in action.
Watch: Mixer | Twitch | YouTube
Check out Mekko's full moveset and backstory on our website!
New Fighter: Mekko, New Map: Landslide
Mekko is a trash-talking crab-walking dolphin piloting a mech, and the sole survivor of a series of brutal experiments designed to turn ocean dwelling creatures into biological sonic weapons.

Mekko is a Ranged Tank with limited mobility who can pull allies to safety. By absorbing damage with his bubble shield, Mekko generates Power Orbs which can be used to power up his specials.
Mekko will be available for all players in the launch window of Bleeding Edge, and you can learn more about his moveset and backstory on his fighter page on BleedingEdge.com.
New Map: Landslide
Bleeding Edge will launch with a brand new map: Landslide!
Landslide is set in Mexico and features new defensive power ups and more trains! The trains in landslide are a little smaller than the one in Jersey Sink and a little less deadly, but you should avoid being run over all the same.
Landslide features both of our game modes and will be added to Bleeding Edge on launch, March 24th.
Get the 'Amor' heart hoverboard trail for free!
All you need to do to receive the trail is log into the game when the beta is live for your local region. Check the map below for when the beta goes live in your region, or for time zones not listed you can use your preferred conversion tool.
If you miss out on the beta this weekend, fear not - you'll be able to purchase the Amor trail in the in-game Workshop using credits, which are earned via gameplay.
