Rocket League rocks as much as the seaside with Salty Shores

I had a idea about Rocket League, again when it got here out and everybody I knew was enamoured with it. I figured that as gamers acquired extra skilled, the precise subject would change into irrelevant as entrepreneuring rocketeers learnt learn how to increase themselves by the air. I envisioned matches being solely resolved within the skies, the ball without end hoisted out of my attain. I predicted two lessons forming alongside Wellsian traces, with a skyriding elite that might come to sneer on the pathetic groundlings beneath them. I’ve no thought if any of that occurred, as a result of I haven’t launched the sport since my good friend Dan acquired a lot better at it than me and it turned too irritating to play with him.

Oh yeah, the information: the Salty Shores replace is out. Competitive season eight has begun, and people who find themselves annoyingly good at Rocket League can now lord it over seaside goers in a brand new enviornment.

Here’s a peek on the new map. The final everlasting enviornment was added again in September, so this must be a sight for shore eyes.

That enviornment is clearly the principle dealio, however you’ll discover a couple of extra fine details in the patch notes. The rewards for aggressive season 7 have been dished out, there’s a brand new music observe, some extra cosmetics have been added and a bunch of bugs have been squished.

The beach-based enjoyable doesn’t cease there. Rocket League’s summer time occasion is simply across the nook, and can run from June 11th to July 2nd. It’s referred to as Beach Blast, and I’m going to make a daring prediction and categorically state that it’ll embrace a volleyball mode. There’s been no official point out of that, however this mod has already proved the thought works.

Before I’m going, I can’t resist ambushing any Rocket Leaguers studying this with a fast point out of Laser League. My evaluate ought to go up immediately or tomorrow, and whereas its identify looks like an try to crib off of RL’s recognition, that doesn’t appear to be working. Which is a disgrace, as a result of it’s a equally unbelievable 2v2 or 3v3 aggressive multiplayer recreation that doesn’t should flop. If dodging lasers and cajoling your opponents into them appears like an fascinating break from rocket vehicles, possibly give it a punt?
