On Wednesday, March 22, Rocket League will receive a free update that adds the new Dropshot mode, which takes place on Core 707, a new hexagonal arena. Dropshot will be available in its own online playlist, and in both Private and Exhibition matches.
Here’s what to expect:
Regular goalposts are nowhere to be found in the new stadium, so players must create their own dynamic scoring areas by using an electrified ball to break and eventually open the floor on their opponent’s side. Once a goal has been scored, that side of the arena closes back up and the action begins anew until time expires. As an added twist, the electrified ball itself will gain strength as players continue to hit and dribble it, with harder hits giving it stronger damage potential that can be unleashed on the opposing team’s floor to varying degrees.
The Rocket League update on March 22 will also see the beginning of Competitive Season 4, six new Trophies and Achievements, and more:
