Rocket League Blasts Into Second Beta
San
Diego, CA – May 13, in the year of our Lord 2015 –
Following the success of its first closed Beta featuring more
than a hundred thousand games played, half a million goals
scored, and nearly 1 million miles driven, globally-renowned
independent developer and publisher, Psyonix, announced today a
second round of Beta sign-ups for the fast-paced sports-action
game, Rocket League, on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment
system. Psyonix will release another batch of limited
multiplayer Beta vouchers for consumers in both Europe and North
America on a first-come, first-serve basis (Beta keys from the
first test will still be accepted; no need to sign up for a new
key).
The second Beta will continue to focus on polishing the game's
proprietary matchmaking and server performance, but adds in
Tutorial and Training modes, the aptly named 4v4 "Chaos mode,"
and two new arenas (Mannfield) and Beckwith Park (the Training
mode arena). The new Beta starts Wednesday, May 13, in both
North America and Europe, and will run 24 hours a day. The Beta
will end at 10 pm Pacific Time, Tuesday, May 19.
Rocket League, the sequel to the international hit, Supersonic
Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, expands on its successful
pedigree with improved graphics and physics systems, a robust
new season mode, considerable customization options, and a
fully-charged multiplayer game geared for a next-generation
action-sports experience. Rocket League is due to hit
PlayStation®4 and PC this summer.
Rocket League Key Features Include:
New Season Mode: In the final version, players can enjoy an
offline single-player or multiplayer experience with Season
mode, bolstered by extensive vehicle customizations, unlockable
items, multiple arenas, and more.
Fully Upgraded Online, Local and Splitscreen Multiplayer Modes:
Fans of the original will love the returning options for two- to
four-player competition, from on-the-couch splitscreen
competition to the robust online play.
Team-focused Gameplay: Rocket League’s team-oriented play
compels gamers to learn short- and long-term tactics and
strategies to stay in the game, challenge their friends, and
stay atop the monthly leaderboards.
Physics-driven Vehicle Interactions: Built with rocket-equipped
vehicles capable of aerial attacks, passes and shots, and
physics-driven ball action, Rocket League is a wild, visceral
action-sports experience.
Content Overload: Rocket League builds upon its predecessor with
a healthy array of completely new unlockable vehicles, arenas,
more than 150 customization items, and other surprises.
Dedicated Gameplay Servers: Super-smooth online gameplay
guarantees an even better Rocket-Powered Battle-Car experience.
Broadcast-Quality Replays: Gamers can play with, stylize, and
create the ultimate replay of entire games with the new replay
system. Fast forward, rewind, or view the action from anywhere
in the arena!
Like the 2008 PlayStation®3 original, Rocket League is a
futuristic sports-action game where players pilot rocket-powered
vehicles in an enhanced version of soccer by driving their
vehicles into the ball and other players in a variety of arenas.
Rocket League uses an advanced physics system to simulate
realistic interactions between cars and the ball, where mass and
momentum determine how hard balls and cars hit each other,
creating a unique and visceral playing experience.
Created by Psyonix, Rocket League is a one- to eight-player
sports-action game due in summer 2015. To learn more about
