While we’ve known about the new Hoops mode coming to Rocket League, we now know players will be able to start slam dunking on April 26. Check out the new trailer for the game mode below.
Coming with the free update is the Hoops game mode, a new arena called “Dunk House” and an NBA logo flag. The Dunk House arena features a net on the hoop that also doubles as a ramp, making it easier to score buckets. It’s also been revealed that the free Euro Truck Simulator 2 antenna topper will be included on the free side of this update as well.
Additionally, players will be able to purchase the NBA Flag Pack for $1.99. Included in the pack are 30 flags, each one representing an NBA team.
Rocket League now is spread across three different sports: soccer, hockey and basketball. The hockey update, called Snow Day, was released last year.
The Rocket League Hoops update will be coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC gamers alike on April 26.
