Rocket League® - Happy Pi Day!


Hello again! We’re back with more sweet cross-promotional news for you!

If you've been playing Double Fine Productions and Adult Swim Games’ playfully-titled '70s-inspired Metroidvania game, Headlander, (and we’ve don't blame you, we've been checking it out, too), then do we have something for you!

Though we had been going back and forth with our friends at Double Fine regarding potential ways to share cool stuff for our respective communities, we ultimately landed on showcasing a little bit of LucasArts’ old school charms and Double Fine’s fresh and humorous perspective with two new Garage customization items. Both of them will be available for FREE on PS4 and Steam PC when our next patch drops later this summer.

The Starcophagus Antenna (above) is inspired by a spaceship you’ll briefly explore in the aforementioned Headlander, while we've also grabbed the famous Purple Tentacle from Day of the Tentacle to commemorate its recent remastered revival. Check out that Topper’s slimy splendor in the screenshot below:




Double Fine has also returned the favor and added our famous Octane Battle-Car and the Rocket League ball into Headlander! As an extra bonus, the ball itself can also be vacuumed up if you want to shoot some interstellar hoops!

We won’t totally ruin the surprise of where you can find these Easter eggs in Headlander’s space station, but definitely check out the visual proof, below. Oh, and be sure to check back with us again over the next several weeks for some pretty exciting (and surprising) news about our big summer update. In the meantime, happy hunting!

Rocket League® - Happy Pi Day!

Rocket League: Collector’s Edition hit retail shelves earlier this month and along with it, four timed-exclusive Battle-Cars. Starting today, however, those four vehicles are exclusives no more, as they are now available for digital purchase as DLC on Steam PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Priced at $1.99 USD per vehicle, each car has its own unique personality and inspiration. Whether it’s the Neo Tokyo-inspired, “Esper” and “Masamune” or classic Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Car vehicles, “Marauder” and “Aftershock,” there’s a little something for everyone regardless of your stylistic preferences.

The latest Humble Bundle is pretty darn awesome. Named the Humble Revelmode Bundle (because it s organised by YouTube chap PewDiePie s creator network Revelmode), this collection gathers the likes of Nidhogg, Spelunky, Golf With Your Friends, Roguelands and Rocket League all in the one place via the familiar tiered payment format.

Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball, Choice Chamber, and Nidhogg the latter of which we described as a brilliant marriage of mechanics, level design and music all befall the pay-what-you-want premier tier; while paying above average ( 4.86/$6.45 at the time of writing) also nets you the Early Access-dwelling Golf With Your Friends, Skullgirls and a bunch of its DLC, Roguelands, and the wonderful rock shelter-swiper Spelunky.

Psyonix's formidable car-ball-cage 'em up Rocket League can also be yours on top of all that, so long as you re willing to fork over 11.30/$15. As always you ve got the option to split your dough between the game creator s, Humble itself, and a selection of charities.

The Humble Revelmode Bundle is live now and runs until July 26.

The latest Humble Bundle is a good’un, with games including Spelunky, Rocket League, Nidhogg, and Skullgirls going cheap. The first three of those are modern PC classics, I’d say, and Skullgirls isn’t half-bad either. The Humble Revelmode Bundle has more games too, obvs.

Not much moving, not much shaking in last week’s top ten best-sellers, as the after-effects of the Steam sale are still felt and, without many major new releases or breakout hits, there’s that creeping sense of PC games in 2016 returning to business as usual. HERE COMETH THE BRANDS. We do get one new entry though, and it’s a pretty one. … [visit site to read more]

The first Rocket League Championship Series is already underway, pitting players of cars-wot-football against one another to find the world’s best. I know this because I read Brendan’s article where he took on the pros and won lost repeatedly and instantly.

Now it seems the main game is going to be getting some Team Fortress-style unlockable crate drops in order to fund future prize pools.
