Psyonix has announced that Warner Bros. will publish the retail version of Rocket League when it comes out later this year. The developer has revealed that a worldwide retail distribution agreement has been agreed with the publisher for a retail release of the high-powered hybrid of football (not soccer) and driving game.
The updated retail release will be available in stores for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (with a Switch release to follow) later this year, and the developer has said it will announce details of the additional content at a later date.
Naturally, everyone involved is chuffed about this news. Warner Bros. senior vice president, Kevin Kebodeaux, gleefully enthused that, ‘Rocket League has such wide appeal across all audiences, it’s no wonder the game is such a huge success.’
Psyonix’s vice president, Jeremy Dunham, said that, ‘we first collaborated on Batman v Superman DLC for Rocket League in early 2016 and we have continued to be impressed with the team’s knowledge, professionalism, reach and enthusiasm for video games.’
Rocket League has been quite the phenomenon, and has been nominated for over 150 Game of the Year awards, and boasts a community of 36 million (and growing) players.
Rocket League is out now on PS4, Xbox One and PC/Mac. A Nintendo Switch release is due later this year.
