Key Highlights:

• Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles joins Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.
• He’s part of the Season Pass, which includes 4 additional fighters.
• Rocksteady will be available on July 3rd with alternate costumes.
• Watch the new trailer that showcases the character.

Fair Play Labs has announced the latest addition to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2’s growing roster: Rocksteady, the formidable mutant rhinoceros from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

This reveal marks the continued expansion of the platform fighter, which launched late last year to mixed but generally positive reviews.

You can check out the new spotlight trailer below to get a better understanding of the TMNT villain.

Character Breakdown

Rocksteady, true to his imposing stature, is set to be one of the slowest characters in the game. However, what he lacks in speed, he more than makes up for in raw power and an impressive arsenal of weapons. His moveset includes:

1. Laser-based projectile attacks for long-range combat
2. Bouncing barrel throws to rack up damage from a distance
3. A powerful horn attack for close-quarter battles
4. A sturdy knife for dealing significant damage
5. A versatile jet pack as his Up-Special, which can be cancelled into other moves

This combination of moves suggests Rocksteady will excel at keeping opponents at bay while steadily building up damage. His jet pack ability also promises interesting combo potential and recovery options.

Release Details

Rocksteady will be available as part of a bundle releasing on July 3rd. The bundle includes the character along with several alternate costumes, including a sleek metallic version.

This addition is part of the game’s Season Pass, which promises a total of four new fighters throughout 2024.

The arrival of Rocksteady follows two significant additions to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2:

1. Squads Mode: Players can now form teams of three to battle against opponent squads.
2. New Game+: This mode allows players to replay the story with unlocked perks and cosmetics at an increased difficulty level.

These updates, along with the new character, demonstrate Fair Play Labs’ commitment to expanding and refining the game post-launch.

While Rocksteady’s inclusion has been known since the DLC announcement, fans are still anticipating the arrival of other promised characters like Mr. Krabs, Zuko, and Iroh.

As of now, there’s no word on a potential second wave of DLC, but the developers may make an announcement in the near future if plans for further expansions are in the works.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is currently available on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC platforms.

With its diverse roster of characters from 17 different Nickelodeon franchises, a roguelike single-player campaign, and various multiplayer modes, the title continues to carve out its niche in the platform fighter genre.

As Rocksteady prepares to enter the fray, players are eager to see how this powerhouse will shake up the competitive meta. Whether you’re a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or simply looking for a new main, July 3rd marks an exciting day for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 enthusiasts.
