Nothing strikes a chill by means of my coronary heart like delays to long-anticipated cross-platform play programs. Sadly, that destiny has befallen Rocket League – a roadmap replace has revealed that the “RocketID” system received’t arrive till early 2019. You can really already play with buddies who’re utilizing smaller, lesser containers, however solely in non-public matches. Which defeats the entire level, actually.
There is a few excellent news: the Halloween occasion is up and operating, in case you wish to gown your automotive up like spiderman sporting a haunted home as a hat.
For tech causes I received’t faux to know, making a system that lets gamers on completely different platforms group up with one another has turned out to be harder than Psyonix anticipated. RocketID was initially slated for the summer season, however that is the most recent in a sequence of apologetic delays.
“We’re working incredibly hard to ensure that it’s as intuitive, stable, and polished as possible,” say Psyonix in this update post. “We know the wait has been frustrating for many of you who are eager for this feature, and we thank you for your patience as we continue to work on cross-platform party support.”
That publish additionally confirms that Frosty Fest will return in December, which I can’t actually get enthused about as a result of the occasion works in precisely the identical manner as the present Halloween one.
Playing matches throughout the Haunted Hallows event makes the devs chuck digital sweet corn at you, which might then be redeemed for creepy cosmetics. There’s additionally a trailer, that includes the noise that trick or treating rocket vehicles make after they’re nervous and a screaming pumpkin tire. Would you wish to be screamed at by a pumpkin tire? Sure you’ll.
The occasion wraps up on November fifth, presumably when Guy Fawkes seems and blows up the pitch.
