Rocket League Could Be Crossing Over With One Marvel Franchise

Longtime vehicular sports game Rocket League could be crossing over with a legendary Marvel franchise: The X-Men. New leaks suggest an upcoming crossover pack for the game, which could add new Rocket League cosmetic options for players and fans.

Another potential crossover that could be coming to Rocket League as Season 14 goes on involves a different Disney-owned franchise: The Mandalorian. The Star Wars-set TV series has already appeared in Rocket League before, but the same leak that outed the possible X-Men bundle also mentioned a «Beskar Bundle» scheduled for May 3, 2024.
