It’s time to “take to the streets” as Rocket League kicks off its eighth season on Sunday, September 7. In an announcement on Thursday, Psyonix revealed details of the upcoming season and offered new content for players.
Entering the motorsport arena, the Honda Civic Type R became the first real car to be included in Rocket Pass Premium. Designed by Honda’s racing team, this sedan will have the same hitbox as the Octane. Players also have the option to obtain the Honda Civic Type R-LE by upgrading the Rocket Pass. To further take advantage of these new additions, the unlocked EdgeLight package for Rocket Pass Pro Tiers 70 and above will give the underside of the car’s body kit a unique light effect.
This season will offer players over 70 rewards, including the following old-school titles and themes:
Season eight pits players against each other in the new ’90s-inspired Sovereign Heights Arena. Located in the middle of a major city, the iconic Rocket League PsyNet building can be seen outside the arena. A new hoop arena will also be available after the season, giving the game local appeal. Check out the new season in the trailer below!
The start of the new season will also bring more tournaments with special rewards like Sk8s Player Banner and Hibachi Topper. A rare Black Market Tournament prize unlocks a flashing Starliner sticker and Amplitude Aim Blaster, giving lucky players an exciting ending to their aim. The Haunted Relics event is also set to return this year.
The eighth season news comes a day after Rocket League released the Ferrari 296 GTB in-game. The collaboration with the luxury sports car brands ended the day before the new season premiere.
