There Will Be No Rocket League 2! Why Not?

There’s a simple reason why Rocket League, Psyonix’ game, which launched three years ago, won’t get a sequel…

Scott Rudi, the game’s director, told GameSpot why they won’t create Rocket League 2: „That’s preferable to do; games-as-a-service. The most valuable thing in our game is our fans. A lot of the stuff we do is focused on keeping them with us. Keeping them interested and all hyped up about our game. We want to provide a really good experience [for players] to have fun with for years to come. We want to keep this going. I don’t know what I’d do with Rocket League 2. I’d rather do more to expand the existing Rocket League. It’s doing great; there is a lot ahead of it. So yeah, we have no plans for Rocket League 2.”

This reasoning is understandable. Rocket League is having a free weekend on Steam and Xbox One until July 9, 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern/7 PM Central European time. It also has a 50% discount – you can pick the game up for ten dollars in case you don’t own it yet. Too bad the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch don’t participate in this deal…
