EA and Seattle-based studio Final Strike Games have released their brand new title Rocket Arena which is an explosive 3v3 rockets-only shooter. Rocket Arena is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Origin and Steam and supports cross-play between all consoles and PC. The game features a diverse roster of 10 playable heroes, unique playstyles that can be further customized and highly-competitive gameplay.
Players willing to jump in the game can do so now on their desired platform to get access to all 10 playable heroes in the game. Along with this, you will also get 100 levels of progression, 10 diverse maps, 22 gameplay changing artifacts, custom games along with social and ranked playlists. The game features 4 competitive game modes at this point and also comes with a cooperative mode along with a training level and practice mode. Daily and weekly challenges are also present in the game along with unique cosmetic items that you can unlock with in-game progression.
The gameplay of Rocket Arena is completely unique in its genre as you will use the Blast Meter which tells you how far your opponents will fly if you attempt to knock them out of the arena. If someone gets KO’d, they return back in action to first survey the game for some time and then join back in the game to exact their revenge on the competition. Each hero in the game comes with its own unique personality, playstyle and moveset. Each hero’s rocket launcher is also unique which can be used for not only offense but also for moving around the arena with some advanced moves.
Check out the cinematic launch trailer below:
To celebrate the launch of the title, Twitch Rivals Program is hosting the Rocket Arena Crater Cup which is a round-robin-style tournament where eight teams of top rocketeers, each captained by notable gaming influencers and streamers, will compete in 3v3 matches for a chance to win $100K. The tournament is already underway over at Twitch and everyone who joins the stream will get a chance to win a free copy of the game.
Kevin Franklin, Co-Founder of Final Strike Games Said:
Our game is a truly unique hero shooter that’s unlike anything players have experienced. At the surface, the fun and frantic combat is quick to grasp, but behind the curtain, there is a robust, deep game that’s highly competitive, full of rockets, and challenging to master. Our EA partnership has allowed our team to realize an uncompromised vision of Rocket Arena. With their support, we’ve crafted a deep multiplayer game, rich world, and IP that we are incredibly proud of. We already have tons of free post-launch content in the works and can’t wait to share what else we have in store for all our players.
According to the developer, they have big post-launch plans for the game with regular content updates such as new characters, limited-timed events, new maps, and modes for everyone. As the seasons progress, players will be able to know about the history of the heroes and the lore of the game. The first official season for Rocket Arena is starting from July 28, 2020. It will introduce a brand new hero to the game Flux along with new playlists along with new daily and weekly challenges for players to complete.
