Rocket League: Die Neuerungen des Updates 1.31 im Detail

Im Laufe des gestrigen Abends bekam der erfolgreiche Mehrspieler-Titel „Rocket League“ auf allen drei Plattformen neue Inhalte spendiert.

Unter diesen befand sich der neue „Dropshot“-Modus, in dem die Spieler vor der Aufgabe stehen, hexagonale Bodenplatten zu durchbrechen. Mit einem elektrifizierten Ball wird man jede Bodenplatte zweimal treffen müssen, um diese zu zerstören.

Ergänzend zum neuen Spiel-Modus wurde auch das „Rocket League“-Update auf die Version 1.31 aufgespielt, das diverse kleine Änderungen an der Spielmechanik sowie weitere Inhalte in Form von Achievements und mehr mit sich bringt. Anbei der offizielle Change-Log des neuesten Updates.
