Rocket League Season 16 – Urban Legends Emerge from the Arena’s Darkest Depths

Legendary monsters have been sighted on the field, but are they real or just an illusion? Turn up those headlamps and shine a light on the myths (and moths) of Rocket League Season 16 starting September 4!
?
?In Season 16, wade into the worrisome wilderness and compete in an all-new Arena, Drift Woods. And if things get too eerie, take comfort behind the wheel of Rocket League’s latest cars.
?
?When you ?purchase Season 16’s Rocket Pass Premium, you’ll automatically unlock the BMW 1 Series Car Body. Venture up the Tiers to unlock the BMW 1 Series RLE Car Body, as well as folklore-inspired frights like the Chupacabra Topper, Sasquatch Print Wheels, and Mothman Decal! The woods await.

BMW1 Series
?NOTE: The BMW 1 Series and BMW 1 Series RLE Car Bodies use the Octane hitbox. They’ll be eligible for cross-game ownership between Rocket League and Fortnite at a later date!

It’s time to head to the great outdoors! Wait, did we say great? We meant to say foreboding. The Drift Woods Arena is in a forest for those who drifted in the wrong, very wrong direction. But don’t worry — stay focused on the goal and you’ll soon find your way out of the darkness towards victory. ?

?You know what else can light up the dusk? Music. Season 16’s new theme song “Lie” is full of weird and wild electronic melodies curated by Monstercat artists Mr. Bill & Culprate. You’ll hear it on the Rocket League X Monstercat 2024 Playlist on Rocket League Radio, and it’ll be appearing in the Featured Shop as a Player Anthem!

One moment, you’re zooming towards the goal, and the next, BOOM! You’ve been demolished and are respawning who knows where. In Season 16, the post-demolition camera is improved, tracking the journey from where your vehicle was destroyed to your respawn point. Drift Woods is mysterious, so that your respawn point doesn’t have to be!

Whether it’s monsters, ghouls, or witches — get ready to transform your vehicle into a mystical motor that brings an otherworldly aura wherever you drive. Here are supernatural surprises that lurk in Season 16’s Rocket Pass Premium Tiers:

?

?Who says that looking out of this world has to come from myths and legends? The BMW 1 Series Car Body and BMW 1 Series RLE Car Body look so slick on the pitch you’d be forgiven for thinking that magical forces were involved in their making. Each car’s engine roars like the real thing too! Later this Season, all Rocket Pass Premium owners will receive a Decal for BMW 1 Series based on the winning entry from our Rocket League x BMW Decal Contest.
?
?Let opponents know you’re watching them — and “they” are watching them — with the Creepshow Dominus Decal. Speaking of eyes, forget keeping your eyes on the goal. Have the goal keep eyes on the entire Arena with the takeover Eyescore Goal Explosion.
?
?Like moths to a flame is Mothman to a light pole. Give Mothman a ride on a dying light with the Mothman Antenna! Or, show your affinity for the darkness with the gloom-oozing Darker Disc Wheels and Chupacabra Topper.?

?It’s not good to move the goalpost about what looks better in the light, but the Ghoulpost Antenna may be preferable to the Mothman Antenna if you prefer ghosts over bugs. The post it haunts is a city streetlight, so it’s no stranger to rocketing cars.
?
?All the rewards mentioned above are just some of the rewards you can unlock. This Season’s Rocket Pass is crawling with rewards, with 70+ Tiers of rewards across free and Premium. Be a Happy Camper in Drift Woods!

Season 16’s Tournament Rewards are delivered straight from the dark depths. If your performance on the pitch isn’t enough to give your rivals nightmares, show them an eyeball with wings (and a halo?) by equipping the Bateye Topper. Let ‘em know you have bite with the Gnaw’d Wheels and conjure up something fierce with the Rocketmancer Goal Explosion.

?These aren’t all the Tournament Rewards, so get ready to make the pitch your haunt.
?

Speaking of Tournaments, we’ll be adding extra Competitive Tournament time slots for every region — including weekend tournaments for players in South Africa! But that’s not all, we’ll also be introducing Heatseeker to the rotation. Heatseeker Tournaments will function like any other Competitive Tournament. Simply join a Competitive Tournament alone or with a teammate to enter into a 32-team bracket, and climb your way to victory!
?
?All the new time slots, as well as some additional game mode changes, are listed below. We’ll monitor the impact of these time slots and mode changes closely and adjust the schedule if necessary.

• North America: 3 AM UTC (Soccar or Heatseeker)
• Europe: 6 PM UTC (Soccar or Heatseeker)
