What’s your most impressive statline? Leave no doubt about your Rocket League reign!

Thought spiders were scary? It’s the Sinister Six you should be afraid of… The world of Marvel’s Spider-Man swings into Rocket League for this year’s Haunted Hallows! Not into vehicular villainy? Haunted Hallows also has heroic wares for all web-heads.

⁠Complete Challenges to unlock Toppers, Decals, and other items based on some of Spider-Man’s greatest foes — including Venom, Mysterio, and the Green Goblin!

⁠Spider-Sense tingling for more? There are extra treats in the Item Shop based on friendly neighborhood wall-crawlers from across the multiverse.



Venture outside the web into two Limited Time Modes returning for the spooky season: Spooky Cube and Haunted Heatseeker! Also, you’d be forgiven for thinking Haunted Hallows started with the arrival of the Drift Woods Arena, but now it has a creepier, nighttime version. Haunted Hallows runs from October 18 at 9 AM PT to November 4 at 6 PM PT!





Flick on those headlights and get into the spirit of Haunted Hallows by swooping into Drift Woods (Night)! While the frightening festivities are underway, regular Drift Woods will be removed from online matchmaking.



Haunted Hallows has 13 Challenges to complete — offering rewards including items based on Spidey’s most iconic foes!

⁠⁠Celebrate Haunted Hallows just like Norman Osborn with the Goblin Glider Topper and explosively seasonal Pumpkin Bomb Boost. You know what’s scarier than goblins? Vampires. Become a creature of the night with the bat DNA-infused Morbius Decal. Just make sure you don’t break the one-way plexiglass of your Mysterio Wheels.

You’re bound to form a bond with the Symbiote Trail, Player Banner, and Avatar Border. There’s also the Venom Dominus Decal, which is sure to leave you feeling hungry for more than just victory.
⁠
For completing the Play 15 Online Matches Challenge, you’ll earn a Golden Pumpkin ‘24. Open it up in your inventory to unlock items from the Zephyr, Player’s Choice, or Overdrive Series. You can complete this Challenge up to five times, meaning you can unlock up to five Golden Pumpkins! There’s also the unlimited Win 10 Online Matches Challenge which rewards 20,000 XP each time. ⁠



The arena becomes hallowed ground when used for haunted LTMs — Spooky Cube and Haunted Heatseeker make a return as Arcade Playlists! Both will be available from October 18 at 9 AM PT to October 23 at 8:59 AM PT, then the Dueling Arcade Playlist system will decide which one will be live from October 23 at 9 AM PT to October 30 at 8:59 AM PT.

October 30 at 9 AM PT to November 6 at 8:59 AM PT will feature the winning playlist from the previous week plus the winning playlist from the first week. (If they’re the same, another playlist will be available too.) ⁠

[h2]⁠Spooky Cube[/h2]



Thought the soccar ball was hard to follow? Wait ‘til you see Spooky Cube’s ghastly gourd! In this LTM, you and your teammates must chase a speedy cubical jack-o'-lantern and get it into the other team’s goal. The team with the most Goals wins! ⁠

[h2]⁠⁠Haunted Heatseeker[/h2]



If you’re afraid of ghosts, prepare to conquer your fears… Sneaky spectral forces in Haunted Heatseeker will snatch away your control of the ball and launch it across the arena. You may be thinking, “Wait, are these ghosts trying to score points for me?” But here’s the thing — if your opponent blocks the ghouls’ powerful shot, it’ll ricochet straight back towards your own goal. Whichever team gets the most Goals wins! ⁠



The ghosts in Haunted Heatseeker aren’t ghost spiders, but you can make your car look like the ultimate Ghost-Spider: Spider-Gwen! The Spider-Man Mega Bundle contains items based on more than four different web-slingers from across the multiverse.



Everyone loves a classic, and you too can have Spider-Man’s timeless red and blue look with the Classic Spider-Man Octane Decal. But that’s not the only iconic color combo… there’s also the ghostly pairing of white and pink in the Spider-Gwen Octane Decal. Wanna rock the arena with rebellious heroism? Kit out your vehicle with the Spider-Punk Octane Decal and Scarlet Spider Octane Decal.



Swap nitrous for webbing with the Web-Head Boost and its matching Trail. You can also channel Spidey’s superhuman senses with the animated Spidey Sense Topper, and prepare for a good (camera) shot with the Spider-Man’s Bag Topper!

⁠Everything looks good in black, even Spidey’s costume. Show off the darker side of Peter Parker with the Spider-Man Symbiote Suit Fennec Decal and Spider-Man Symbiote Wheels. Not enough symbiotes for you? There’s also the Scream Fennec Decal and the takeover We Are Venom Goal Explosion!⁠



[h2]⁠⁠⁠Spider-Man Mega Bundle (3000 Credits)[/h2]

• We Are Venom Goal Explosion (2000 Credits individually)
  
• Spider-Man Octane Decal Bundle (900 Credits individually)

Note: As a reminder, not all Car items that are of a cosmetic type that’s also in Fortnite (Car Bodies, Decals, etc.) are shared between Fortnite and Rocket League. So if you see some Haunted Hallows items in Fortnite but not others, that's normal! The number of Car items that are cross-game will grow over time.
