Psyonix : Cinematic Assets

We created a handful of cinematic assets for the announcement of RL Season 21, focusing on the streets of Paris! This is the first time a Rocket League arena has been situated in a real life city, and the fans at the RLCS Paris Major were the first to find out when our cinematic teaser played live at the event.

We did a second teaser as well, which includes a heist + car chase scenario through Paris at night, and the precious cargo happens to be the RLCS Championship trophy. The big reveal is the impressive new venue, Parc de Paris Arena, nestled beneath the Eiffel Tower.

The action concludes at the start of the gameplay trailer, with the cars giving chase toward the new arena as Daft Punk’s classic “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” kicks in.

Later in the trailer, we cut away to another cinematic moment to see the championship trophy restored to its home on the pedestal at the event, seamlessly transitioning into a live action RLCS segment.
