Rocket Racing surprised Fortnite and Rocket League fans with a trailer for the new game just before its expected release on December 8.
Rocket Racing is a new game developed by the creators of Rocket League and will be integrated into Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 as a free-to-play racing game.
Despite being free-to-play, similar to Fortnite, Rocket Racing will contain skins and various cosmetics so that players can customize their cars to their liking and race in style.
The official Rocket Racing X/Twitter account surprised fans anticipating the game, releasing a trailer teasing what players can expect on December 8.
