Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Psyonix Enter Worldwide Retail Distribution Agreement for Rocket League
While everyone was fairly certain Rocket League would eventually be coming to retail in physical form, I’m not sure anyone was certain that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment would be the company behind getting that done. Today, WB and Psyonix entered a worldwide retail distribution agreement to bring the title to major retailers in time for the holidays.
Here is a brief statement from Warner Bros. Senior Vice President, Kevin Kebodeaux:
Rocket League has such wide appeal across all audiences, it’s no wonder the game is such a huge success. We’re very excited to be working with Psyonix to bring the game to retailers across the globe.
Rocket League has been insanely successful since it first released on console a few years back, and with the game coming to Nintendo Switch soon, there will no longer be an excuse for gamers to not have, at least, had an opportunity to play this wacky game. This actually won’t be the first time the team behind Rocket League and Warner Bros. have partnered up. Before this, these companies came together to launch Batman V. Superman DLC for Rocket League in 2016!
Here is a bit more from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment PR in Canada:
Winner or nominee of more than 150 “Game of the Year” awards, Rocket League is one of the most critically-acclaimed sports games of our generation. Boasting a community of more than 36 million players, Rocket League is a high-powered hybrid of arcade-style soccer and vehicular mayhem with easy-to-understand controls and fluid, physics-driven competition. Available on Xbox One, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Windows PC, Mac, and SteamOS via Steam, and coming soon for Nintendo Switch™, Rocket League includes more than 100 billion possible customization combinations, a fully-featured offline season mode, multiple game types, casual and competitive online matches, and special “Mutators” that let you change the rules entirely.
Although no official date has been announced, people can expect to see this hit retail shelves this holiday!
