Rocket League is getting a new game mode next month which delivers several zany and useful power-ups that plunge the sport of RC car soccer deeper into chaos.
Watch the Rocket League Rumble Update Trailer:
Called Rocket League Rumble, it was shown in the finale of the Rocket League Championship Series in Hollywood. Rumble will be part of a much larger update planned for the game in September. Psyonix did not give a more specific date for its launch.

In Rumble, cars can pick up 11 power-ups to warp their abilities and the outcome of play. They are:
• The Boot (Kicks an opponent’s car)
• Disruptor (Forces your opponent to drive uncontrollably)
• Freezer (Freezes the ball in-place)
• Grappling Hook (Pulls you towards the ball)
• Haymaker (Punches the ball)
• Magnetizer (Attracts the ball to your car)
• Plunger (Grabs the ball via plunger and cord)
• Power Hitter (Allows you to hit everything harder)
• Spike (Attach the ball to your car when you bump into it)
• Swapper (Change positions on the field with your opponent)
• Tornado (Sweep up the ball and opposing cars into a giant funnel cloud)
The trailer above gives you more of an idea of how all this works.
