Rocket League fans have seen basketball and hockey-inspired modes become staples in the competitive car title, but now a football-centric game mode will debut for a limited time. On top of that, developer Psyonix Studios has announced the return of the NFL-themed car skins to celebrate the upcoming Super Bowl LV.
Teaming up with the NFL, Rocket League will launch the pigskin-focused Gridiron mode for a short time, starting on February 2. According to a new blog post on the game’s site, it is a 4v4 variant that will, of course, behold a football to chase down and score for either three or seven points. However, unlike its other sports modes, Gridiron will allow drivers to carry the ball, with the opposing team stealing it once they make contact with the carrier.
The year 2020 is coming to a sweet and merciful end, which means it is almost time to dish out some awards. Today, we wanted to give a special shoutout to some amazing people and companies who showed everyone what it means to do it for Shacknews this year. Without further ado, please take a look at our Do it for Shacknews Award 2020 nominees.
Mike Tyson
In one of the biggest surprises of the year at Shacknews, I got the opportunity to sit down the Iron Mike Tyson this Spring. It was truly an honor to discuss the champ s Muslim faith, his thoughts on tigers, and his new brand of marijuana. He even met Lola. Thanks again to Mike Tyson for showing everyone what it means to do it for Shacknews.
