About Rocket League Sideswipe:

Rocket League is among the highly profitable franchises for Epic Games, the developer behind Fortnite.

And now the company in collaboration with Psyonix plans to bring its popular soccer game over to mobile for old and new fans.

The development work on the mobile-only version of the skill-based game is already underway.

Instead of copying the entire concept wholesale from the existing computer and console iterations, the developer is introducing a unique take on the classic game.

To support quick matchplay on the move via mobile devices, Sideswipe departs from the traditional Rocket League format. The redesigned style will pit players against each other in one-vs-one or two-vs-two matches from a 2D perspective.

Rocket League Sideswipe will feature mobile controls that are easy to pick up whether you’re a master of Rocket League or a new player still learning your way around the field. Plus, there are advanced mechanics, just like Rocket League, for those who want to climb the Competitive Ranks. In the garage, Rocket League Sideswipe will have robust car customization similar to Rocket League. Players can also expect an online Ranking system for competitive play.

Each duel between 1v1 or 2v2 teams lasts two minutes on the clock. This will allow players to finish their matches without having to commit themselves to long sessions.

Rocket League Sideswipe Preview Video:

A preview video accompanies the free-to-play Rocket League Sideswipe mobile game announcement.

As you can see in the video below, the initial snippet shows that the game is playable holding handsets sideways.

Rocket League Mobile Game Controls And Customization:

According to the developer, a “robust car customization” mechanism is similar to the original game.

In addition, an online ranking system is also there to encourage competitive play online.

As highlighted in the alpha update footage above, fully formatted control buttons are optimized for the layout of smartphones.

Expectedly, you have swipe gestures to manage car movements while attempting to pass the ball through vertical, rectangular goals. Swiping to control the direction of vehicles better suits fast-paced gameplay.

Besides, advanced mechanics offer high-level expert players extra options to fully utilize their skills to ramp up the excitement levels a notch.
