From the menacing Mothman to the chilling Chupacabra, ancient folklore revs to life in Rocket League Season 16!
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) ofRocket LeagueSeason 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 theBMW 1 Series Car Body. Venture up the Tiers to unlock theBMW 1 Series RLE Car Body,as well as folklore-inspired frights like theChupacabra Topper,Sasquatch Print Wheels,andMothman Decal! The woods await.
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 sayforeboding. 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? TheBMW 1 Series Car BodyandBMW 1 Series RLE Car Bodylook 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 ourRocket League x BMW Decal Contest.
Let opponents know you’re watching them — and “they” arewatching them — with theCreepshow Dominus Decal. Speaking of eyes, forget keeping your eyes on the goal. Have thegoalkeep eyes on the entire Arena with the takeoverEyescore Goal Explosion.
Like moths to a flame is Mothman to a light pole. Give Mothman a ride on a dying light with theMothman Antenna! Or, show your affinity for the darkness with the gloom-oozingDarker Disc WheelsandChupacabra Topper.
It’s not good to move the goalpost about what looks better in the light, but theGhoulpost Antennamaybe 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 justsomeof 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 theBateye Topper. Let ‘em know you have bite with theGnaw’d Wheelsand conjure up something fierce with theRocketmancer 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!
