Rocket League is getting a new engine and it's not for the cars. During the Rocket League Paris Major, Epic Games debuted a short teaser trailer for a redesigned Rocket League. More importantly, the gameplay footage was made with Unreal Engine 6.
Surprisingly, Epic Games didn't go with Fortnite to show off a first look at its next-gen game engine, but it's still the first time the company showed any in-game footage built with Unreal Engine 6. Notably, all the gameplay shown was "captured real-time in game," according to the trailer. Epic Games didn't specify what upgrades Unreal Engine 6 would bring to Rocket League, but we can see some cosmetic upgrades like the improved reflections on the cars, which also look more detailed.
