It's Rocket League, with a twist.
Psyonix, the maker of Rocket League, announced a new standalone game in the Rocket League franchise called Rocket League Sideswipe.
Rocket League Sideswipe will offer a twist on the standard Rocket League formula (Rocket League is like soccer, but with cars). The game will be played from a side-scrolling perspective, meaning players will drive left and right across the field, rather than being able to drive in all directions.
The game will feature 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 matches that are designed to last for two minutes. Players will be able to compete with others through online multiplayer. The game will also feature a competitive ranking system.
Rocket League Sideswipe is expected to launch for free on iOS and Android devices in 2021. For now, players in Australia and New Zealand can join a “limited-time Regional Alpha test” on Android devices via the Google Play store. This will allow them to check out the game in its current state, while it’s still under development.
