We still don’t have a release date for the new game engine.
Rocket League is getting a new engine and it’s not just for cars. During the Rocket League Paris Major, Epic Games launched a short teaser trailer for the redesigned Rocket League. More importantly, the gameplay footage was created with Unreal Engine 6.
Surprisingly, Epic Games didn’t go along with Fortnite to show off the first look at its next-generation game engine, but it’s still the first time that the company has shown any in-game footage built with Unreal Engine 6. Notably, all gameplay shown was “captured in real-time in-game” according to the trailer. Epic Games didn’t specify what upgrades Unreal Engine 6 will bring to Rocket League, but we can see some cosmetic upgrades like better reflections on cars, which also look more detailed.
There’s still not much known about Unreal Engine 6, but company CEO Tim Sweeney previously hinted that the team is working on changes in the latest version. For Rocket League, the jump to Unreal Engine 6 is a big leap, considering it still runs on the third version of Epic Games’ game engine. But, we don’t have any release timeline for Unreal Engine 6 yet, and it’s been over four years since Unreal Engine 5 was released.
