The multiplayer shooter Rocket Arena has been picked up by EA, and it was shown as part of the EA Play presentation on June 18. Developed by Final Strike Games, Rocket Arena was featured as an EA Original, the publisher's program highlighting independent projects it's partnered with for publishing.
The trailer showed off the game's cartoon art style along with a variety of characters and stylized environments, like an Aztec pyramid and train tracks. Each character has their own signature abilities and rocket types similar to hero shooters like Overwatch, and competitive matches are 3v3. But rather than deal conventional damage, Rocket Arena uses a Smash Bros.-style ring-out mechanic. Your goal is to wallop your opponent hard enough that they go flying off the battlefield.
