Rocket League, a game famous for its superb blend of football and rocket-powered battle cars (or 'soccar' - still an all-too excellent pun), has never been one to shy away from a fresh game-on-game mash-up. We've had cars do basketball, we've had cars do ice hockey - basically, we've had cars do anything other than racing. Well, while it's still not quite cars-do-Mario Kart, we now have the next best thing: cars doing Super Smash Bros.
"Knockout" is an upcoming limited time mode coming to Psyonix's vehicular soccer game next week, as part of the "Knockout Bash" in-game event. The goal of the mode is simple - you hit your opponents with your car hard enough that they either fly out of the arena, or into a deadly hazard. Deaths are limited and the last car standing wins.
The event will run from April 27 to May 10 and offers players a chance to win golden gift baskets, which net you classic rare items from past Rocket League events. The mode launches right in the middle of the animation-themed Season 6, which boasts plenty of unique Rocket League ranks and rewards itself, so it seems as good a time as ever to fire up the ol' rocket cars and take 'em for a spin.
