A new batch of DLC is headed to Rocket League next week, and for fans of The Fast and the Furious, this particular bundle may just be too tempting to pass up. In collaboration with Universal Pictures and Dodge, Psyonix has announced The Fate of the Furious DLC, which includes the Ice Charger premium vehicle – a digital recreation of the same Dodge muscle car driven by Dom Toretto in the adrenaline-fuelled film series.
Due to arrive April 4 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, the mini bundle will cost a modest $1.99 and includes exclusive Ice Charger premium wheels, six new decals – Clean Cut, Crazy Sandwich, Flames, Rakugaki, Rally and CCCXL – and the Ice Charger itself. Check out the announcement trailer above to see it in action.
This is far from the first time Psyonix has collaborated with a third party for its various add-ons. The iconic DeLorean from Back to the Future, as well as the Dark Knight’s Batmobile, have both been immortalized in miniature form previously, with the developer even having recently teamed up with the manufacturer of Hot Wheels toys in order to appeal to its fans’ inner child.
Besides paid-for content, free updates regularly make their way to the popular soccer-with-cars title, the most recent of which introduced brand new mode Dropshot, a total upending of the usual Rocket League rulebook that tasks players with scoring goals in the most unconventional way possible.
As for The Fate of the Furious, the eighth film in the long-running franchise isn’t due to hit theaters until April 14, although first impressions of the sequel have already appeared online and are quite positive.
