EA’s Rocket Arena: Launching this July

EA and Final Strike Games have set an official launch date for Rocket Arena, and the 3v3 rocket shooter hits the shelves on July 14, 2020, for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!

Combat is entirely centred on rockets, as the game’s name suggests, while each hero has a unique special ability. New heroes will be added for free over time. Battles take place in compact arenas with a broad mix of themes, while gameplay includes modes such as a capture the flag affair named Rocketball, and a zone defence offering titled Mega Rocket. It is set in the world of Crater, which is almost entirely made of, or powered by, rockets. Each region has its own hero that represents it in the Rocket Championship Tour. A total of 10 characters will be available at launch, each with a unique rocket launcher, projectile and abilities. It’s all about timed deployment and learning your character’s strengths and weaknesses though, with the items merely a helper. The main aspects of the game are:

Non-lethal rockets that blast players rather than kill them.

A blast meter, rather than a health bar, that determines how far a player will fly.    

A Knockout and Megablast mechanic.    

Carefully tuned Rocket Jumping and Rocket Climbing.   

In-the-action returns, allowing players to fly back into the Arena rather than respawn.

Are you ready to launch?
