Final Strike Games and Nexon have revealed Rocket Arena, a 3v3, rockets-only 'shooter where no one dies' - and you can sign up for a PC closed beta now.

Headed to PC and Xbox at launch (with the promise of cross-play), Rocket Arena pits teams of 3 cartoony characters against one another, using rockets to knock others off the map. The more blasts a player takes, the easier it is for them to be knocked off - essentially, it sounds like it's pitched somewhere between Quake and Super Smash Bros.

Rocket Arena marks Final Strike Games' first project, but it comes with some shooting pedigree - two of its studio leads have worked on the Halo series, while other staff have lent their talents to the likes of Doom 2016 and Just Cause.


There's no firm release date as yet, but an initial closed beta will run from May 23-29, and you can sign up to be a part of it right now.

The beta will come with 6 characters to try (each with different rocket types and special abilities), six maps and five modes, ranging from knockout PvP to a co-op PvE horde mode to Rocketball, which sounds a lot like rocket-assisted football.
