Rocket League, that stealth hit that blended genres before going supernova in 2015, is getting another licensed tie-in - this time in the form of big-time wrestling promotion, WWE. The partnership will see some new 'rasslin-related items added to the mix, although the developer hasn't officially revealed what they'll be just yet. The collection will be hitting the game this spring.
There's also plenty of other official tie-ins coming to Psyonix's vehicular footie romp, including a DC crossover that brings a new set of Batmobile designs to the game (because you can never have too many Batmobiles). It'll also include lots of other superhero-related items for your motor. This little pack is due on 5th March.
So more stuff for Rocket League, and WWE stuff at that. Will you be adding a little Undertaker hat to your car or maybe a Stone Cold skull on your antenna? Let's just hope there's nothing Roman Reigns related in there...

I hate WWE but I absolutely love Rocket League so no doubt I'll buy every thing they add. Can't wait for the DC Comics gear to be added next week.
How about a Stone Cold monster truck, an Undertaker hearse, a Triple H throne-mobile, Randy Savage "OOH YEEEAAAHHH" SFX, a Rey Mysterio paint job, and, of course, Vince McMahon's angry head ball skin?
They will probably do something stupid like those monster trucks with Hulk's hands or something similar.
@thiz The WWE gear that's coming in the Spring isn't old news though. It's so new they don't have anything more to announce till later this year.
Been playing a bit of Rocket League and enjoying myself despite still being pretty bad at the game. No interest in WWE though.
Wow this could be fun... imagine those fat guys slamming the ball around with their butts.
THis is the best 10 pounds I’ve spent on a game. So addictive. It has ruined my other gaming. Just one more game. Must get my platinum rank back. I don’t bother with any DLC. I’m in it for the goals and epic saves not the extra expense.
I wonder if a John Cena topper would function like the invisibility cap in Super Mario Odyssey
I’d take a Sgt. Slaughter hat please!
I hope they keep anything Hulkamania related out of the game, that guy is toxic to any brand he touches.
Also, I have a standard Wolffe that becomes tradeable later, anyone willing to trade me an Endo.

WWE promotes this game like crazy, so no surprise that a team up is in the works. Should be good.
WWE is beyond terrible.
@OorWullie - I haven't seen an episode since the 90s. And with what's advertised around I just don't see the charm of the new characters (though I was fond of the John Cena memes).
Having said that, I do find some of the items they inspire to be creative (like their "Monster" series of figures), so I can say I am I interested in their collaborations. As I just started RL a month ago.
@Dizzy_Boy - He hasn't touched a brand since his controversy, has he? I mean it's a shame cause "Hulkamania" actually sold WWE merch to this day.
Gross.
Gross.
So Rocket League wants to be Crush Hour 2? Good thing the game is already good.
Monstercat are also adding in more music to the game.
@Paraka I don't think he has. And it's because of all the rubbish that he's pulled over the years that nobody want's to be associated with him.
Tbh though, if Hulk had been any kind of decent person, we all know he'd still be a big name, even if it was just within wrestling.
I'm okay with this. We have RL loaded onto both of our Switches but I have yet to play it!!!!
To be honest, coming into this article, my hope was that the developer would be making a new Wrestling game....and my hope was something similar to the N64 THQ Wrestling games!
Also I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but
I really don’t like WWE.
