Rocket League ‘Supersonic Fury’ promises more cars, maps and spectator mode this August

The overwhelmingly popular Rocket League will soon receive its first DLC pack: Supersonic Fury. The $3.99 pack will release in early August, Psyonix Marketing VP Jeremy Dunham wrote on the PlayStation Blog, and introduce a medley of cosmetic features.

Supersonic Fury adds two cars: “the over-the-top American muscle car Dominus, and the souped-up Japanese street racer Takumi.” Both will remain exclusive to the DLC and receive six different decals. Two new rocket trails, Nitrous and Burnout, will be included, along with five new paint types. Some new trophies will also be tied to the DLC.

A free update, which will release alongside Supersonic Fury, is also in the works. The oft-requested spectator mode, allowing viewers to “watch live games in real-time from any angle in the arena,” will be the headlining act, but the game’s first new map, Utopia Coliseum, is sure to see plenty of limelight itself. Psyonix is also planning to update the goal and demolition explosions and the game’s soundtrack.

Rocket League patch 1.03, designed to patch up crashing on PC and connection issues on PS4, should release just ahead of Supersonic Fury.

It released just July 7, but Rocket League has already hit five million downloads, in no small part thanks to its free PlayStation Plus status. The game will remain free on PS4 through August 4, so now’s the time to join.
