Rocket League Season 17 Extended: What This Means for Players
With its fast-paced and competitive gameplay, Rocket League remains a perennial favorite among multiplayer games, combining skill-based soccer with the speed of rocket-fueled cars. Continuing the pleasure of playing the game, be it simply casually or more professionally, the players remain connected with the high-speed racing game. Epic Games and Psyonix have been required by the fans to continue delivery of new content in terms of skins, game modes, and seasonal updates. With Season 17 getting extended, the word is mixed within the community.
Rocket League Season 18 Delayed
Epic Games and Psyonix have stated the delay in Season 18 for March 14, hence providing players with extra time to grasp Season 17. Rocket League's social media channels posted this update, providing us with the teaser that the coming season will feature a Crossbar Ping.
The delay has left players piecing together speculation on what it might mean. Some claim a new audio cue for hits off the crossbar while others expect improvements to crossbar physics in-game. Yet, there are others who express skepticism: Psyonix might need extra time to deal with ongoing game issues before a new season is kicked off. The Xbox players are worried due to their concerns with issues relating to game stability.
Content Expected in Season 18
As of now, there has not been any confirmation on the theme for Season 18, with not much on the type of content expected besides Crossbar Ping. The previous seasons have offered diverse themes and collaborations, making it tricky to tell what would be eventually seen.
Also, there are those who think Epic Games would not want to release Rocket League's next season as it may coincide with Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2's release date. While the two games cater to different audiences, there's definitely some overlap in players, which could cause some conflicts with their scheduling.
More Time to Unlock Season 17 Rewards
Still, with the delay, players are required to keep benefiting from the system of earning rewards and unlocking cosmetics during Season 17. Time added can allow developers to fix technical issues, particularly the ones reported by Xbox users.
Until Season 18 is finally here, there will always be non-stop action for Rocket League fans ahead of the big update.
