EA announces “explosive” hero shooter Rocket Arena is available today
Final Strike Games along with EA have announced today that brand new hero shooter Rocket Arena is out now.
Rocket Arena is an “explosive” 3 versus 3 shooter where rockets control everything. It is available now with cross-play support on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Origin and Steam.
A hero shooter, Rocket Arena features a diverse roster of ten playable heroes with customisable play styles.
“Our game is a truly unique hero shooter that’s unlike anything players have experienced. At the surface, the fun and frantic combat is quick to grasp, but behind the curtain there is a robust, deep game that’s highly competitive, full of rockets, and challenging to master,” said Kevin Franklin, Co-Founder of Final Strike Games. “Our EA partnership has allowed our team to realise an un-compromised vision of Rocket Arena. With their support, we’ve crafted a deep multiplayer game, rich world and IP that we are incredibly proud of. We already have tons of free post-launch content in the works and can’t wait to share what else we have in store for all our players.”
