Blog Link: https://www.rocketleague.com/news/the-nightmare-before-christmas-brings-joy-to-haunted-hallows/

Everybody makes a scene on Halloween, and for this Haunted Hallows Event we’re spreading the holiday fear with ghoulish goods inspired by Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack Skellington, Sally, Oogie Boogie, and Sandy Claws items are coming to Rocket League! Complete event Challenges to earn skull-rattling rewards, or test your courage as two Limited Time Modes emerge from the shadows.

Face your fears from October 18 to November 1.

With the Jack Skellington Bundle, the world is your wicked wonderland. Squeeze into Jack’s iconic pinstripe suit with the Jack Skellington Octane Decal, or pretend you’re taking his no-legged best friend for a walk with the Zero Topper. Just please, try not to upset the Mayor.

Equip the Jack Skellington Goal Explosion and Jack’s skeletal grin will appear whenever you score, sending your rival team running in fear. If you’re looking for a soundtrack for this spirited season, the “This is Halloween” Player Anthem just might be your perfect pick!

  • Jack Skellington Octane Decal
  • Spiral Hill Wheels
  • Jack Skellington Goal Explosion
  • Jack Skellington Player Banner
  • Zero Topper
  • “This is Halloween” Player Anthem


The new Sally Decal isn’t just a miracle of scientific reanimation—it's also universal! You can pick one up in the Item Shop for 300 Credits. Oh, and don’t worry if it smells a bit sickly. That’s just the frog’s breath.

Trade your fancy carbon fiber for a burlap sack with the universal Oogie Boogie Decal, or grab the Oogie's Worms Boost made from a supersonic batch of wiggling worms.

Not feeling jolly enough? Lock, Shock, and Barrel have inspired the next item. Simply pop the Sandy Claws Topper on your car and let the merriment commence! Add on some Man-Eating Wreath Wheels, and soon you’ll be scoring scares like a pro.

When it comes to Halloween decorations, some people just can’t get enough. Listen, we get it. That’s why The Nightmare Before Christmas Mega Bundle contains every single item from the Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie, and Sandy Claws Bundles, plus the universal Sally Decal. It’s a scream come true!

[h3]Oogie Boogie Bundle (800 Credits)[/h3]

  • Oogie's Winch Wheels
  • Oogie's Worms Boost

[h3]Sandy Claws Bundle (500 Credits)[/h3]
  • Sandy Claws Topper
  • Man-Eating Wreath Wheels

[h2]Challenge Rewards[/h2]

Your trick-or-treating bucket will be full in no time when you earn Haunted Hallows Challenge rewards! For the witches out there, the floating eyeballs and squirming centipedes of the Creep Jar Player Banner and Avatar Border will have you feeling right at home. 

Get creepy cute with the frankenblobby Bolt Head Topper, or equip the retro Vampire Teeth Antenna if you vant a bite of Halloween nostalgia.

Players can also earn up to five Golden Pumpkins by completing Challenges. Luckily, there’s nothing sinister hiding inside—just open them in your Inventory to instantly unlock items from the Turbo, Elevation, and Zephyr Item Series!



[h2]Spooky Cube[/h2]

Hop into Farmstead (Spooky) Arena and smash that pumpkin! In the Spooky Cube Limited Time Mode, the ball has been replaced by a super speedy jack-o-lantern. You’ll need quick reflexes to chase down this ghastly gourd once it begins bouncing around the Arena on October 18.



[h2]Haunted Heatseeker[/h2]

Tired of dribbling? Nothing a little possession can’t fix. In Haunted Heatseeker, you’ll find that a ghastly presence takes control of the ball, launching it across the Arena with even the slightest of touches. Be wary, for if your opponent manages to block this powerful shot it will bounce right back towards your own goal instead! Players who prefer tricks over treats might even choose to sneak across the Arena for a quick Demo.

Enter if you dare—the door between Halloween Town and Rocket League opens on October 18.

Rocket League trading site founder will never 'build a product based on the decisions of another company' again after one decision from Epic puts him out of a job




Rocket League's player-to-player trading system will be turned off in December. For someone like me, the news comes as a mild disappointment—I got my favorite set of wheels in a trade with a friend, but I haven't used the feature in years—but for Berlin-based designer Laurids "Vicegold" Düllmann and a few others, the announcement means losing a job...

Player-to-player trading removed from Rocket League, sparking uproar

Rocket League is one of the best games of all time. That's a statement I feel pretty strongly about, and have only continued to believe in eight years after it launched. Yet the Rocket League community is in turmoil right now as publisher Epic Games and developer Psyonix announce the removal of player-to-player trading in the car football game, leading to a plummeting Steam reviews rating and a 10,000-strong player petition calling for its return.

Removing Player-to-Player Trading in December

Player-to-Player Trading will be removed from Rocket League on December 5 at 4 p.m. PST.

We’re making this change to align with Epic’s overall approach to game cosmetics and item shop policies, where items aren’t tradable, transferrable, or sellable. This opens up future plans for some Rocket League vehicles to come to other Epic games over time, supporting cross-game ownership.

[h2]FAQ[/h2]

Q: What do I do with my duplicate or unwanted items?
A: The Trade-In system for Core Items, Tournament Items, and Blueprints will allow players to continue trading in eligible duplicate or unwanted items to receive a random new item of higher rarity.

Q: What if I lent someone an item?
A: These actions are not supported by Psyonix and all trades are considered final. Our support team cannot help reverse trades.

Q: What about third-party trading websites or servers?
A: After December 5, there will be no way to trade items with any player or between accounts. Websites or servers advertising such services are fraudulent and have no connection to Psyonix or Epic Games.

Q: Will this undo any trades I’ve made in the past?
A: No, you will not lose any previously traded items when Player-to-Player Trading is removed on December 5.
