ST. CATHARINES, Canada, May 23, 2024 — If you were planning on spending Memorial Day weekend curled up on the couch with your favorite doggo, it’s time to pop that pup in a mech suit and make room on that very same sofa for your friends: Rocket Rumble has blasted out of early access today with a full launch on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. Bringing playful competition to consoles and computers alike, Rocket Rumble challenges up to four players (local or online) to multiplayer mayhem on race tracks across the universe that’s as much about punching each other as it is about punching the turbo boost.

 

“There’s a time and a place for serious games, and hanging out with your friends just isn’t it,” said Alex Golebiowski, PixelNAUTS founder and Rocket Rumble’s lead designer. “Rocket Rumble is our love letter to big dumb fun, where everyone feels like they’re taking the lead over and over again, making the victory that one of you scores taste that much sweeter. With a long weekend at our doorstep, we couldn’t think of a better time to give gamers a chance to get together and duke it out for the top spot on their living room leaderboards.” 

Players in Rocket Rumble select from a pool of 6 rocket-powered Terran animals and get set loose in races in a variety of environments, each with their own unique set of obstacles (watch out for space-sized tentacles on the beach planet!). Winning isn’t necessarily about who comes in first place, but who can rack up the most points – which you’ll earn both based on your place in the race and how well you pummel your fellow racers and knock them off the course through fisticuffs and fantastic items. 

Rocket Rumble is available now for $23.99 on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. To learn more visit rocketrumblegame.com and join the official Discord. Screenshots are available in the Rocket Rumble press kit.
