Rocket Arena is a new 3v3 third-person shooter which takes more than a few cues from Fortnite’s aesthetic, while throwing in lots more rockets. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Mechanically, it’s more akin to hero shooters like Overwatch<\/a> and Apex Legends<\/a> – featuring a roster of 10 characters at launch all with their own unique special abilities. <\/p>\n

To coincide with Rocket Arena’s launch on 14th July on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, Twitch is hosting a special tournament featuring a number of top players. Here’s what to expect and how you can catch all the action. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the Rocket Arena Twitch Rivals Crater Cup? <\/h2>\n

Like previous Twitch Rivals events, the Rocket Arena Crater Cup will see a number of top streamers and pro players compete for a $100k cash prize. <\/p>\n

It’ll also act as a showcase for Rocket Arena itself, debuting as the game launches. <\/p>\n
