free update. The call this all-new mode "chaotic," noting that it adds 11 new
power-ups to the motorsports mash-up. Here's
a trailer, and here
are the details:
Independent video game developer and publisher, Psyonix,
is thrilled to announce that it is bringing an all-new, chaotic game mode dubbed
Rocket LeagueŽ Rumble to Rocket LeagueŽ players around the world, starting next
month.
Revealed on stage for the first time at today's finale of the Rocket League
Championship Series in Hollywood, California, Rocket LeagueŽ Rumble is a FREE
new game mode that lets you play in an epic battle royale stacked with
randomized power-ups. Whether you're equipped with the Haymaker (which punches
the ball), the Swapper (that changes your place with an opponent's), or the
Tornado (which you'll just have to see to believe), each one of the 11 new
power-ups brings an extra dimension to the classic Rocket LeagueŽ formula.
Like the "Hoops" and "Mutator" modes before it, Rocket LeagueŽ Rumble will
appear in online playlists when it debuts in September, and will also be
available in both Private and Exhibition matches. The complete power-up list
includes:
The Boot (Kick's an opponent's car)
Disruptor (Forces the opponent to drive
uncontrollably)
Freezer (Freezes the ball in-place)
Grappling Hook (Pulls you towards the ball)
Haymaker (Punches the ball)
Magnetizer (Attracts the ball to your car)
Plunger (Grabs the ball via plunger and cord)
Power Hitter (Hit everything harder)
Spike (Attach the ball to your car when you bump
into it)
Swapper (Change positions on the field with your
opponent)
Tornado (Sweep up the ball and cars into a giant
funnel cloud)
Rocket LeagueŽ Rumble is just the beginning of a much bigger update planned
for September. Expect more details in the coming weeks.
