Back in March this year, Epic Games revealed that it plans to launch a side-scrolling spinoff of Psyonix’s popular Rocket League video game on mobile devices, aptly named as Sideswipe. According to a recent report, it appears that it might not be the only game from the franchise to Rocket League Credits arrive on mobile platforms.
Citing a leaked document from the publisher, Android Police revealed that Epic has plans to release the original version of the game to phones and tablets as well. Interestingly, the port is said to feature a “next-generation client with full game experience”, as well as cross-play and cross-progress support on all platforms. Beta testing for the mobile version of Rocket League is slated to commence in Q2 2021, the document added.
The decision to also introduce the full Rocket League experience on lolga.com mobile is baffling, especially when a “lighter” version of the game is already in the works. Even more so if both versions will presumably feature a free-to-play model – with the option for obligatory in-app purchases, of course. However, having multiple choices isn’t entirely a bad thing either, where users could opt to play Sideswipe for a more casual romp – as opposed to the more eSports-worthy nature of the full version.
