Rocket League Chaos Run DLC Announced
The hit vehicle soccer game Rocket League is getting a new post-apocalyptic-themed DLC in December.
The Chaos Run DLC will introduce two new battle-cars, Ripper and Grog, a new arena called Wasteland, based on an arena from Rocket League’s predecessor Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, as well as a host of new customizations for players’ vehicles, according to the PlayStation Blog.
A description for Wasteland by Psyonix’ VP of Marketing Jeremy Dunham reads as follows:
