Our goal on Rocket Arena is to be prompt with gameplay balance and feature changes, taking into account feedback from both our community and internal testing.  We’ve gathered plenty of your feedback from the Pre-Season and have made some balance changes we believe address several issues. 

Competitors
Overall, we’re extremely excited to see how well all of the Competitors are competing across the game, with data and observation showing that each Competitor can legitimately hold their own against the rest of the roster. That said, interactions between Competitors will continue to naturally shift as players dive deeper into each Competitor’s mechanics. Thanks to our inventive community, we’re seeing these kinds of awesome shifts happening almost daily right now. Competitors that were thought to be dominant one day, suddenly find themselves countered by other Competitors in previously unheard of ways. As such, we feel we need to give the game’s meta a little mor...

Hi everyone, Final Strike Games Team here to share some info on our Live Service.

Rocket Arena’s Live Service is at the core of the game’s design. The live service follows the events and heroes of the Rocket Championship Tour. And you won’t have to wait long for new content - we will be igniting the live service with Season 1 on July 28.

Hello Tour Competitors!  I’m Kyle K (Pravda), a Game Designer here at Final Strike Games, and I’m here to tell you about the Ranked system in Rocket Arena! In this post we’ll go over how Ranked works, the differences between Social and Ranked, our design philosophies and goals for it.

Rocket Arena blasts off with a Ranked Preseason on launch day, July 14th. Season 1 will officially begin two weeks after launch on July 28th.

We believe Rocket Arena has awesome competitive gameplay in both Social or Ranked environments. In Social playlists, games are plenty sweaty, but we’re ok with them being a little more over the top and playful experiences. However, for Ranked, we want to give players looking for competition a more even playing field to test their skills in. 

Our goal is to provide the best, most competitive Ranked experience for players, so we’ve focused on removing randomness and adjusting other elements that don’t support the idea of an e...

  • A blast...
