EA’s explosive new 3-vs-3 shooter, Rocket Arena, launches in July
The game features cross-platform play between PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
Arena shooter fans have something to look forward to this month when EA Originals releases its all-new bazooka-powered Rocket Arena on July 14.
The developers, Final Strike Games, asked the question, what if there was a “Never Say Die” shooter that focuses on all the fun of blasting opponents away with rockets of all kinds?
The result is Rocket Arena, a hero-based battle arena that uses non-lethal rockets that knockout and send opponents flying.
Both EA Originals and Final Strike Games have confirmed that Rocket Arena will launch on July 14.
A Season 1 content update will then roll out two weeks later.
“Our team passionately wanted to take on a new approach to combat in a multiplayer shooter. [With that in mind,] we developed features that are innovative in this space,” shared Kevin Franklin, Founder and CEO, Final Strike Games.
The list of features include:
Rocket Arena, which was revealed recently at the EA Play virtual event, takes place in Crater, a world that uses rockets for everything.
Players can choose from 10 different characters from various regions around Crater, each with their own unique personality, backstory, and region-linked narratives.
There is even a rich and diverse history for Crater that players can learn about as they discover historical remnants about the world.
Beyond the immersive and narrative-driven focuses, along with the extensive list of gameplay items and character customization options, Rocket Arena will focus on the in-game Rocket Championship Tour main event.
The multiple options in this mode — Practice, Social Playlists, and Custom Games — will ensure gamers can get up to speed with the character metas, track on-going matches, and even organize private gaming sessions.
As for game modes, they include:
The new content that will appear on July 28 will feature three new maps, the latest hero for the roster, and a Season Pass — Blast Pass — that comes with exclusive gear.
The game will launch on Steam and Origin, Microsoft Xbox One, and Sony PlayStation 4.
