Rocket Rumble is a space racing brawler for up to 4 players where a charming cast of animals in rocket suits smash and bash their way across the finish line.

Rocket Rumble combines the best parts of party racing games and combines them with fast paced action brawling games! Join a charming cast of rocket powered animal racers as they bash, smash and race their way to victory! Collect points for crossing checkpoints and dealing damage while trying to knock your rials off the track!

Get knocked off? Not to worry! With respawns at every checkpoint you're never on the sidelines for long!

Rumble with friends and family at home or jump right into the fun with online matches! With tons of items and powerups you'll always be on your toes, and single screen matches ensure you never miss out on any of the action!

PixelNAUTS revealed their next voyage to the stars will take place on May 23 with the launch of Rocket Rumbl on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam, with a Nintendo Switch version to follow.

Following an extended period in Steam Early Access, Rocket Rumble’s full launch will come fully equipped with 8 environments and 6 customizable creatures to control – as well as a number of improvements based on early player feedback.

“We launched Rocket Rumble in early access because we knew that a fast-paced party game would need to be balanced just right to deliver the kind of fun party players deserve,” said Alex Golebiowski, PixelNAUTS founder and Rocket Rumble’s lead designer. “Things can get awfully chaotic with four players trying to stay on the screen without falling victim to the track, the environment, or the shenanigans of their friends – but we’ve tweaked Rocket Rumble for pure fun, and even if you’re knocked off screen, you’ll never be more than a few moments from rejoining the action and working towards your comeback.”

Rocket Rumble features a simple control scheme so you can hop right into the action! Play your way with either keyboard or controller and control your experience with different gameplay modes!

Robots & asteroids and Space Pirates, oh my! Race your way through a ton of different levels with a sci-fi twist! With item drops, boosters, ramps and hazards there's endless fun to discover!

Show off your style with thousands of item combinations! Choose from hats, glasses, badges and more! Plus, stand out from the crowd with tons of suit patterns that are fully customizable from color to size!

Key Features:

  • Single-screen local and online multiplayer: Invite your friends and family to a fun competition.   
  • Players choose and fully customize their character: Select between 4 different racers; Riku - the bird of prey, Bert - the pale swine, Pepper - corgi dog, and Ophelia - the silver tabby. And more characters to be added after launch!
  • Race across 9 different obstacle courses: Race through an Asteroid Mine, Star Forest, amidst a Galactic Battle, and through a dangerous Space Reef, avoiding asteroids, machines, lasers, creatures, and plant life. 
  • Unlock hundreds of new cosmetics: hats, badges, neck decor, eyewear, banner, special rocket trails, custom designs, and NEW characters!
  • Brawl your way through the fields: Using items is the heart of Rocket Rumble. Launch rockets, bombs, and electrifying EMPS. Lasso other players and throw them around, deflect rivals with a powerful plasma shield, or rocket your way into first place!
  • Fully customize your matches: selecting specific tracks, a custom playlist, or signing up for the full championship, all while specifying the settings such as rules, items, and speed of the game.

Rocket Rumble is coming to PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on May 23, 2024 at $23.99, followed shortly by Nintendo Switch.
