Hi everyone, it's finally time for an update on Rocket Racing 2's development.
We have now begun full development of the mode, and we're currently designing the first tracks and various gameplay elements. Some of our work so far is featured in the images of this post, including an (unfinished) first look at the Rocket Raceway track, which will be a track themed around Rocket League.
I thought that now would be a good time to hold a second AMA, so feel free to ask anything down below.
Some FAQs I thought I'd answer to begin with:
"Will the mode be a mario-kart style mode with items, or will it follow the classic fast-paced gameplay style of Rocket Racing?"
Both! There will be 2 separate modes: Classic and Arcade. The Classic mode will have familiar gameplay that has been central to Rocket Racing for the past 2 years and the Arcade mode will lean into a more chaotic and fun gameplay style with items, moving obstacles, etc.
"Will my custom controls carry over?"
Yes. The cars in Rocket Racing 2 will follow whatever keybinds you have set for your Rocket Racing cars.
"Can I use my car cosmetics?"
Yes! You will be able to use your car cosmetics as you could in Rocket Racing.
"When will the mode release?"
In order to ensure a polished experience, we are currently aiming to release Rocket Racing 2 during the holiday period. This may mean that we miss the deadline of the Rocket Racing shutdown in October, but we'd rather have a polished and finished experience than a rushed one.
"Will the mode get updates?"
Yes! The plan is to do seasons and possibly weekly or biweekly track drops, like Fortnite Festival has with its song drops. A huge aspect of Rocket Racing 2 is that updates will be tailored to community feedback, as the developers will be heavily involved in the forums.
"Can we see gameplay footage?"
Soon 👀.
