Fortnite is launching a new mode today to keep its players entertained in Chapter 5. This time it’s Rocket Racing. What you should know about the release of the racing mode can be found in our overview with trailer.
When can I play Rocket Racing? Officially, Epic Games has scheduled the start of Fortnite Rocket Racing for December 8, 2023. Additionally, there is a hint confirming the release timeframe, and it can be found in the Discovery tab of the modes in Fortnite itself. There, you can access all modes created by Epic Games or content creators.
Two official and especially new modes from Epic Games are still listed as “Coming Soon”. For Rocket Racing, it says “In 1 Day” since the release of the LEGO mode, so it is safe to say that Rocket Racing is coming out today.
We cannot provide anything specific about the time, but we assume that the mode will start at the same time as the LEGO mode. That would be around 1 PM to 2 PM. We will keep you updated if the mode is postponed.
What is Rocket Racing? The upcoming mode “Rocket Racing” mixes Rocket League with Fortnite and throws you with your customizable vehicle onto a random racetrack, where you can compete against other players.
The motto is “drift, fly, and boost with your friends on an ever-growing selection of tracks”. Moreover, future updates are expected to bring more customization options for your race car, which can even be earned in the new Battle Pass of Chapter 5 Season 1.
There should be a free skin: If you would like to unlock skins for your collection for free, you may have the chance with Rocket Racing.
With the launch of the new mode, you might be able to unlock the skin “Jacky” according to leaks (via twitter.com), but only after you reach the Gold rank. Whether this is true has not been confirmed, but with LEGO Fortnite, the developers already included a free skin pack in the shop for all players.
It is quite possible that the developers are generous to the community again and grant you a skin, provided you are a good racer.
That was all the important information about the upcoming Rocket Racing mode in Fortnite. How have you found the LEGO mode so far? Are you looking forward to the Festival mode? Let us know in the comments!
