The Rocket League range will include customisable and remote-controlled vehicles based on the video game franchise.

Funrise is to create a range of customisable and remote controlled Rocket League replica cars in new partnership with video game developer Psyonix.

The deal, which has been brokered by IMG will see the collection include mini-RCs and full-size RCs that allow players to bring the video game Rocket League to life. The range will launch globally in autumn 2022 and replica cars will be based on some of the most popular from the Rocket League franchise, including Octane, Dominus, Fennec and Takumi.

Stephanie Simpson Bughi, vice president of global brand marketing at Funrise, said: “We are so excited to welcome Rocket League into our family of toys and bring the fun of the game to life for fans around the world. Rocket League engages users in endless fun through a riveting combination of soccer and cars, and we are confident that fans will welcome the expansion of the Rocket League world through our new series of cars.”

A high-powered hybrid of arcade-style soccer and vehicular mayhem, easy-to-understand controls and fluid, physics-driven competition, Rocket League is one of the most popular and recognisable video game brands worldwide. It is free to play and available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Epic Games Store.
