2K is reportedly making a Rocket League rival called ‘Gravity Goal’
2K is reportedly working on a futuristic rival to Epic Games’ popular vehicular sports game Rocket League.
According to Exputer, the unannounced project is currently titled ‘Gravity Goal’.
Players reportedly control “Tron-like bikes” rather than cars, which they use to hit a ball into their opponent’s goal in high-energy 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 matches.
