Rocket League Releases
SAN DIEGO, CA – July 7, in the year of our Lord 2015
– Global independent developer and publisher, Psyonix, announced
today that Rocket League – one of the few PlayStation games in
history to offer PS4™/PC cross-platform play – is now available
digitally on the PlayStationŽ4 computer entertainment system via
the PlayStationŽNetwork, and on PC via Steam. Rocket League
brings gamers a high-powered hybrid of arcade-style soccer and
vehicular mayhem. Offering easy-to-understand controls and deep,
fluid physics-driven competition for one to eight players,
Rocket League boasts more than 10 billion possible
customizations, giving players the opportunity to distinguish
their Battle-Cars in either local or online play, while showing
them off in a broadcast-quality replay viewer that perfectly
complements the video-editing capabilities of SHAREfactory™.
The multiplayer-focused successor to 2008's Supersonic Acrobatic
Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, Rocket League uses an advanced
physics system to simulate realistic interactions, relying on
mass and momentum to give players a complete sense of intuitive
control in an unbelievable, high-octane re-imaging of
association football. Players can breeze through the tutorial
and play solo in the all-new Season Mode or vie against the AI
in multiple team formations and difficulty settings. Up to four
people can compete in two-to-four-player splitscreen action as
well, with up to eight total players battling it out online (in
Ranked, Unranked, or Private Matches) on dedicated servers
located all over the world.
"We're thrilled to release Rocket League today," said Dave
Hagewood, President, Psyonix. "Gamers all over the planet have
told us overwhelmingly that they loved Supersonic Acrobatic
Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, and that they wanted even more.
Rocket League delivers on that request and we sincerely thank
our community for the opportunity to provide them with what has
been, for us, a dream project. Without their continued support,
our game wouldn't be what it is today."
