Vision Force Studio
Rocket Racing Reborn
Is now
Project
Over-
Drive
Reborn stays our internal codename. Part of Rocket Racing Revive
Rocket Racing Reborn has a new name: Project Overdrive
Same project, same team, same goal. The game stays playable on our own servers, only the name changes
Reborn stays our internal codename, and RRR keeps meaning Rocket Racing Revive
What's changing and why
We have some things to share regarding the future of our project and the Vision Force ecosystem!
As we continue to grow and build up bit by bit including this server and work on connecting you back to the tracks you love, we have to look ahead at the long term issues, well, the health of this community. To ensure this project can survive long enough without legal issues down our long road, we are making a major change today.
Until now we have been using the name Rocket Racing Reborn (RRR). While we love the name, we run into two big issues keeping it such as Legal Safety and Community Confusions.
Legal safety
"Rocket Racing" is a trademark owned entirely by Epic Games. To protect our developers and keep this community safe from potential legal action or a Cease & Desist as we say, we need to step away from using their exact trademarked title anyway.
Community confusion
RRR already stands for Rocket Racing Revive, the name of everything Vision Force does to bring Rocket Racing back. With Rocket Racing Reborn sharing the same three letters, people kept mixing up the project with the whole effort around it
On top of that there is a different project called Rocket Racing Reborn on X that has nothing to do with us. A name of our own ends that
The new name
From today the project is called Project Overdrive. It is still the original Rocket Racing as it shipped, kept playable on our own servers after the official one sunset
Reborn stays our internal codename, so you may still see it behind the scenes
- The name for every Vision Force revival project together
- Formerly Rocket Racing Reborn. The original game, on our servers
- Every sunset track, brought back to the light in UEFN
- The standalone rebuild in Unreal Engine 5
- Our UEFN live event
What changes for you
- Nothing you need to do. Your account, your access request and your game key stay exactly as they are
- The project's pages on this site now say Project Overdrive. The play page moved to /rrr/overdrive and the documentation to /documentation/project-overdrive. Old links forward on their own
- Older news posts and artwork keep the old name. They are part of the history and stay as they were
- The Meridian launcher, our Discord and our socials catch up over the coming updates
Who decided
The new name was chosen by shrezee, founder and lead of Vision Force, after asking the community for name suggestions in the Rocket Racing Revive Discord. Thank you to everyone who sent one in
Questions about the rename are welcome there too
