Psyonix announces that new Supersonic Fury DLC for Rocket League
will arrive early next month for the surprise hit sports game, which they say
has sold over five million units on PC and PS4 since its release about three
weeks ago. They also say to expect a free content update with a new map and the
requested spectator mode, though it's not clear if that will come in August as
well. They offer this new
trailer showing off the pack, and explain what it will offer along with
their reaction to their game's success:
Thank you! Thank you very much!
We’re extremely excited about the success of Rocket League since its launch on
July 7th, with more than 5 million combined downloads between PC and PS4 in less
than a month! -- and we couldn’t have done it without you!
To celebrate the big news, we thought we’d bring you a complete rundown of what
to expect in our upcoming “Supersonic Fury” DLC Pack.
As we've teased on Twitter, the Supersonic Fury DLC Pack includes two brand new
Battle-Cars: the over-the-top American muscle car Dominus, and the souped-up
Japanese street racer Takumi. Both of these vehicles offer six different Decals
for Garage customization (12 total) and are only available for play in the DLC.
Besides the new Battle-Cars, the DLC Pack also includes two all-new Rocket
Boosts (“Nitrous” and “Burnout”), two new Wheel sets (the soccer ball-themed
“Cristiano” and the very-cool “Spinner” set), five all-new Paint Types (“Brushed
Metal,” “Carbon Fiber,” “Metallic Pearl,” “Pearlescent,” and “Wood”), and a
handful of new Trophies. This entire collection will be available in early
August for $3.99/ €3.99.
In addition to the Supersonic Fury DLC, we will also release a free game update
that offers an assortment of new content, including our first new map, Utopia
Coliseum, and more than 70 new country flags. The long-awaited “Spectator Mode”
will be in there too, allowing viewers to watch live games in real-time from any
angle in the arena. Spectator controls are very similar to that of our existing
“Replay Viewer’s,” so start practicing now and get ready for the drop!
Further enhancements, like updated Goal explosions and Demolitions, are planned
for the free update as well, along with the brand new song, “Firework,” from the
critically-acclaimed electronica group, Hollywood Principle.
It is our sincere hope that this mix of paid DLC and free add-on content is what
Rocket League fans have been waiting for, and it’s just the beginning of what is
plenty more to come. Thanks once again for your continued support and we’ll see
you again very, very soon.
