Rocket League Sideswipe Announced For Mobile, Bring 2D Arena Gameplay!

Rocket League’s popularity which has skyrocketed since its debut in 2015 has made this game a favorite of many gamers around the world. The gameplay concept of a soccer game with vehicles that can perform acrobatic maneuvers to score goals has succeeded in creating a very exciting playing experience. Now with the availability of the game on various platforms including Mac OS and Linux, Psyonix developers have prepared a new game specifically for the mobile platform, Rocket League Sideswipe.

The game still retains all the building blocks of the original Rocket League game. The difference lies in the gameplay point of view, this time switching to a 2D point of view, but still with 3D graphics quality that is almost similar to the Rocket League game. This shift in gameplay perspective does feel more natural for mobile platforms, which are mostly played with touch screen controls.

Even though it seems more simplified, Rocket League Sideswipe will still present more complex game mechanics, including vehicle customization to the online ranking system. Veteran players will certainly find it easy to immediately adapt to the game, and the simple controls also make it easier for newcomer players to immediately feel the excitement of the gameplay.

Incidentally, starting today, players in the New Zealand and Australian regions can already join the Alpha Test stage. This initial testing session is only for Android users, which is the time for developers to gather as much feedback as possible.

When is the Game Released?

For those who can’t wait for the game, Rocket League Sideswipe will be released on Android and iOS in 2021. You can keep an eye on the latest developments about the game, including Rocket League itself on the official website HERE.
