Under the EA Originals label, a 3v3 multiplayer third-person shooter is born. Rocket Arena has been developed by Final Strake Games, a study of some 50 talented people who have worked on titles like Shadow of Mordor, Halo 4 or Just Cause 3, among many others. Thus, Rocket Arena is the first title of this study, a team specialized in creating multiplayer experiences. This video game focuses entirely on the online game, having very interesting features and that is based on formulas that have been deeply successful in recent years.
This title has up to five game modes. The objective of each of them will vary, although the philosophy will always be team play. And it is that in addition to the classic team duel (being here Harassment and Demolition), we also have other game modes in which eliminating opponents goes to a secondary level. In Rocketball we will have to collect a ball and score in the enemy's area. Of course, obviously the rival will not make it easy for us, since the showers of rockets and skills will be the daily bread in Rocket Arena. Then there is Pepinazo, where we will have to defend and capture an area to score points and take victory. In Treasure Hunt, we will have to defend a chest while we are acquiring points, and we will get more if we collect the coins that are released. And finally, we find Robo Rocket Warfare, which is nothing more than a horde mode where waves of enemies will come out and with our team we must eradicate them. Generally, games last between 5 and 7 minutes, depending on the game mode. This allows intense fast and fun games to be played, in which everything can happen. In addition, during the game we will find various objects that we can throw at our rivals, whether they are bombs or gadgets that benefit us in battle.
Since its inception it was announced that Rocket Arena would have a crossplay system, which would allow users to play with all the platforms on which this game is available, that is, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The procedure is simple. And it is that if we want to choose to play with people from other platforms, just go to the settings menu and activate the crossplay. At this time we will be looking for games with users who play both keyboard and mouse, as well as control on any of these platforms. The fact that this option exists, added to its concept and the short time that its games last, are factors that make Rocket Arena a very accessible title for all audiences.

Rocket Arena is a frenzied 3v3 shooter that draws inspiration from the hottest titles of the moment. With very fast games, highly polished mechanics, and wild game modes, there is clearly a talented studio behind. This play will try to take a slice of the pie out of multiplayer titles, though when it comes to innovation it doesn't have much more to offer.
