Rocket League 2 is unlikely to materialise as developer Psyonix sees the game as more of Rocket League Crates a platform rather than a franchise, its VP of publishing has said.
Speaking with GI, Jeremy Dunham revealed that the studio has no intention of ‘exploiting’ the popular car-based footie romp, which launched exactly two years ago today for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One, with a Rocket League sequel. You’d be forgiven for expecting a follow-up, however; Rocket League achieved huge critical and commercial success, notching up 10 million downloads and an additional one million via boxed sales.
If that wasn’t enough, as of today Rocket League sports a whopping 33 million players and remains consistently popular, with 1.6 million daily players and 3.3 million players per week. In addition, Psyonix estimates that around 70 percent of Rocket League owners have purchased DLC for the game.
