'Rocket League' Season 5 Begins Next Week, Content Details - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 12, 2021 @ 12:08 p.m. PST

Rocket League is a fast-paced action-sports game featuring amazing physics, crazy aerial action, and compelling multiplayer combat.

The sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, Rocket League expands on its successful pedigree with improved graphics and physics systems, a robust new single-player campaign, considerable customization options, and a fully-charged multiplayer game geared for a next-generation action-sports experience.

Rocket League is a futuristic action-sports game where players pilot rocket-powered vehicles in an enhanced version of soccer by driving their vehicles into the ball and other players in a variety of arenas. Rocket League uses an advanced physics system to simulate realistic interactions between cars and the ball, where mass and momentum determine how hard balls and cars hit each other, creating a unique and visceral playing experience.

Developer Psyonix announced that Rocket League Season 5 begins on November 17, 2021 on all platforms!

The upcoming season blasts into space and will feature a new Arena variant, Rocket Pass, Limited Time Mode (LTM), Competitive Season, and more.

Starbase Arc has been INVADED! An evil force has taken control of the classic Arena, and has turned it into a new, dark soccar pitch known as Starbase Arc (Aftermath). Catch a glimpse of the new Arena in the trailer above, featuring a reimagined version of the song "Player Of Games" made for Season 5 by GRIMES! Be sure to check out the song when it releases later this month, and look out for Starbase Arc (Aftermath) once Season 5 begins on November 17. 

Prior to the invasion, Starbase Arc was guarded by the watchful protector known as Nexus. This cadet was captured and transformed into a master of Rocket League. Unlock Nexus and its Plank hitbox immediately with the Season 5 Rocket Pass Premium, and start tiering up to unlock its final transformation: Nexus SC

The Season 5 Rocket Pass is packed full of otherworldly items like the Spacedirt Paint Finish, Hyperspace Animated Decal that transform with your cars speed, and a new Goal Explosion that is ready to fully take over: Cosmosis. Stay tuned for our full Rocket Pass trailer on November 16 where you'll see all these items and more in their intergalactic glory. 

The day after Season 5 begins, be on the lookout for an LTM with a new twist on Heatseeker thanks to three new Labs Arenas: Barricade, Colossus, and Hourglass. Get ready for Heatseeker Ricochet, featuring Heatseeker action on these new maps that will change up the gameplay. Think fast starting November 18th. 

Get ready for a game update that will complete all the calculations for launch day on November 16 at 4 p.m. PST (12 a.m. UTC November 17) (pending first party certification). 

Rocket League Season 5 will be live on November 17 following a game update on November 16 at 4 p.m. PST (12 a.m. UTC November 17), pending first party certification.
