Rocket League is already something of a frantic game on its own with enough tense moments to create an unending series of highlight reels. (Yes, that includes our own.) Now developer Psyonix is taking the next step in growing the rocket-powered ball game by introducing a new update that introduces a series of custom game variants.

Called "Mutators," this Rocket Update will feature a variety of new custom presets for custom games. This includes new modes like "Moonball," which decreases the arena's gravity, and game modes like "Cubic" and "Time Warp" that are making their return from Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. Another new game mode will be based on the great Canadian sport of hockey, but details on this addition have not been revealed at this time. Players will also be able to mix and match these custom games through the Mutator Mashup playlist.

This update will arriveMore information on the Mutators update will be revealed during Psyonix's developer stream, which is set to take place on its Twitch channel this Thursday at 2PM PT. In the meantime, check out the video below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

      Wow, just wow. Way to take a big steaming dump on the purity of the game Psyonix. It's like you don't understand anything about why Rocket League had any sort of popularity. I guess they'll try anything including compromising their ideals to try and shore up those plummeting player numbers.

        Eh. I know what you mean by the purity of the game, but it's new modes which you don't have to play. Is it your take that they should never add anything to the game for anyone so that it remains "pure", or what? What a strange post.

        Finally we realize that Rocket League was always just the Star Citizen of video sports games all along.

        lol, compromising their ideals?? Online games can only stay "pure" for so long before people get bored and the community stagnates. They'll always have a playlist for the vanilla game mode.
