Long time no see eh? Yeah sorry about that... But you should be excited! We certainly are! Today we finally get to say what you all want to hear:
CLASH CUP TURBO IS AVAILABLE NOW ON STEAM!
And what a relief it is! Those of you out there who have followed the game closely or talked to us at conventions know that we had big ambitions when we set out to make this game which included not only a release on Steam but a release on Playstation 4 and Itch.io. Well it was a very painstaking process but we are happy to announce Clash Cup Turbo is ALSO available NOW for PS4, itch, and (drumroll please)... PS5! Getting the game ready for the PS console has been a big part of this year and is responsible for some of the delays in the past but we are glad to have met our original goal (and then some) to deliver our product to a wide range of gamers.
Now there is one thing of note, FriendPlay did not make it in to this first version of the game so you will notice there is no network play option. We still intend to make this a feature of the game as a free update and we are pretty far down the road of making that possible but it's not quite ready yet. We'll keep you all in the loop as progress is made so stay tuned.
Feeling a little better? We hope so. It's been a long wait, believe us we know, but we couldn't be more proud to finally put the world of Clash Cup Turbo into your hands. And really, a huge thanks to all you out there for your patients, feedback, friendship, and fandom. We hope you all like the final product and that it brings you great joy to yell at your bros from the other side of the couch when they eliminate you in a grudge match.
So grab your friends, invite your neighbors over, and sit the kiddos down for some good old fashioned competitive-multiplayer sports action, because IT’S TIME TO GET YOUR CLASH ON!

CLASH CUP TURBO NEW YEAR UPDATE (AND IT'S A BIG ONE!)
Long time no see humans! Happy New Year!
With the new year upon us we are fully aware it’s been far to long since we’ve done a formal update and we know you’ve been waking up every morning eagerly refreshing your Steam pages and Twitter feed looking for some sort of indication as to what the heck is going on with Clash Cup. We have an answer for you… A LOT. Though we haven’t been as active as we’d like on social media, our team has been hard at work getting CCT ready to go out the door. So hold on to your controller because we are about to unload some serious updates! One of which we know you are REALLY going to like…
(If you don’t want to read all of this scroll to the bottom for the summary)
Training Mode Is Done!
We introduced Training mode in a previous post, and after thorough testing and a long “tour” on the convention circuit, we’ve crossed it off the list and officially packed it in as part of the game.
Cup Mode Is In!
When we started out with this project we promised fun, fast, and frantic multiplayer experiences with a solid single player experience for when you just can’t find a Clash buddy. We’re proud to announce we’ve done just that by creating Cup Mode! As we mentioned when we announced Training mode, this will be an opportunity to hone your skills and earn trophies by playing the AI on a series of stages and difficulties. This feature is nearly done, and will make its debut on the convention circuit in January.
Winners and Losers
A big part of the Clash Cup experience is that big win moment so we’ve added an all new “MATCH OVER” results screen complete with “Replay and “Exit” buttons. The results Screen is also utilized in the Single player Cup and Training mode alongside the “LOSE” screen which will no doubt leave you wanting sweet revenge!
Stage Art Final Pass
While building out the remaining features we’ve revisited, revamped and polished some of the stage art to include new assets, animations and themes for a more cohesive look and style.
Turbo Overhaul
Not all but most of the Turbos have been updated in some way. They are still mechanically the same Turbos you know and love, but we upgraded the aesthetics and tweaked them for balance. If that isn’t enough for you we also turned up the hype knob and gave the characters a new glow to indicate “turbo ready” along with a street fighter style action portrait that fires during turbo activation.
And one more thing…
You told us what you wanted, and we heard you. We’re proud to announce ONLINE FRIEND PLAY. This new feature will allow you to play ONLINE with players in your friend list (hence “Friend Play”). It’s not a full on match making service, that’s probably down the road, but you and other Clash Cuppers will be able to host a game locally on your machine and invite other people with the game to play in multiplayer matches and take advantage of EVERYTHING the Multiplayer mode has to offer.
One thing to note: this feature in still in the intermediate stages of development but right now is planned to roll out with version 1.0.
(Sorry no pics for this yet)
Wrap Up
See? All of your patience is paying off! (At least we hope you feel that way) But we’re sure you are still wondering “WHEN is it going to come out?” We can’t give a solid answer to that question right now, but we expect we will know soon. The game is now FEATURE complete and we are polishing it up for release. Friend Play is a pretty big undertaking to implement and as per the above we want to launch with it ready to go but we have established an internal deadline for when we would like that to be done. If that deadline is not met, we will premier the feature in v1.1 after a 1.0 launch of the game with single and local multiplayer.
What’s next for CCT
Clash Cup Turbo will be appearing at MAGFest 2018 with all the new features outlined above alongside our next game “The Impeccable Picaro”! So if you are going to the show or are in the area look for us at MAGFest and play the latest, greatest, almost done, nobody wants it finished more than us, build of CLASH CUP TURBO!

SINGLE PLAYER MODES COMING TO CLASH CUP!
For those of you who have played Clash Cup at conventions, you know the intensity and fun of its unique multiplayer experience. Today, we are proud to announce that we’ve been working to bring that same high-octane gameplay to TWO new single player experiences! The first is Training Mode.
In Training Mode you will hone your offensive, defensive, and puck control skills in 3 ALL NEW VR style stages, each of which is uniquely designed to sharpen specific areas of your Clash Cup technique. And it doesn’t stop there: each Training Mode stage has 3 levels of difficulty so it’s fun for even the most seasoned of Clash Cup players and achievement hunters!
Here’s an early look at the defensive training in action:
Training Mode will be packaged with Clash Cup at launch, as part of the standard game version. More updates on the second single player mode soon. In the meantime be sure to WISHLIST Clash Cup and follow us on Twitter @ROOT76Games for exclusive Clash Cup development updates!
