Lately, the Fortnite community is never slow with updates and changes to the game that players are constantly waiting for the next big patch or mode to try. Among such modes, Rocket Racing, has stirred quite a lot of controversy lately. Rocket Racing was an interesting concept at first; combining high-speed racing with a touch of Fortnite’s flare. However, the emergence of new updates and changes has made the players to ponder on the future of this game.
Othe large game modes that came with Rocket Racing include Fortnite Festival and Lego Fortnite and Rocket Racing added a new flavour to the game. Inspired by Rocket League, it introduced racing with features of Fortnite vehicles. This has been the case with Rocket Racing which, although offers something new compared to other racing games, isn’t as popular. This has given rise to questions in whether it is transient and may be replaced by another model in the future.
The speculation came to a head when a recent change to Fortnite’s API pointed to the fact that the next major content update for Rocket Racing had been pushed back. First of all, the update, that was promised to be released this season, looks like has been postponed to October. This raised lots of concern among the game’s community fearing that Rocket Racing was on its death beds.
However, it took not long for Epic Games to come back with explanations that the delay was caused by a bug and that the next content drop is planned for July. It is hoped this update will allow for the addition of new tracks, cars and hopefully further additions which will keep this mode interesting for its players.
In fact, Rocket Racing which has comparatively fewer players than the other modes of the game is not defunct. Many people still use it and the times for a match can still be relatively short. The mode’s niche appeal means it doesn’t attract the same mass audience as something like Lego Fortnite, but it still holds its own within its genre. The way Epic Games constantly updates Rocket Racing and fixes problems with the game means that the game stays relevant and fun.
To sum up, one can state that Rocket Racing might not be occupying the biggest number of fans in Fortnite yet it cannot be considered dead. As it gears up for a new set of content and has an audience that likes its flavour of racing merged into Fortnite-style play, it appears poised to deliver high-speed thrills for an audience that enjoys such games. Well, for now Rocket Racing is very much around and active waiting to rev its way to the next level.
