Rocket League rival reportedly being developed at 2K

Rocket League, as a concept, stands pretty unrivalled in the gaming landscape right now. However, a report from a reputable industry leaker suggests that developer 2K is creating a rival game.


Writing for eXputer, Tom Henderson claims that 2K is developing a game called Gravity Goal, which closely resembles the vehicular football gameplay that Rocket League has become famous for. While the core experience will be familiar to those that have played Psyonix's hit game, with 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 game modes, there are a few key differences.


Instead of using cars to hit the ball, Gravity Goal will reportedly see players riding futuristic, "TRON-like" motorbikes instead. While Rocket League does have a combative element in that you can temporarily disable opponents by ramming into them at high speeds, Gravity Goal will do things a little differently by giving players hockey puck-like discs that they can fire at the opposition.
