Rocket League News

If only this Rocket League trailer were for a new game instead of a new car

Sometimes, the trailer is better than the thing the trailer is promoting. In the video embedded above, an Aston Martin Valhalla supercar races through the streets of London chasing a giant bouncing ball, and then switches on its rocket engines—which can't be great for the hybrid's fuel efficiency—and flies over the Westminster Bridge. It looks like Rocket League poured into the mold of classic Rockstar Games racer Midnight Club...

A new mission calls for a new car, and this one is equipped to take the pitch by storm. The new 007's Aston Martin Valhalla supercar will make its way in Rocket League starting October 7!

007's Aston Martin Valhalla, a marvel of British engineering, features a sophisticated design with a mid-engined 950PS gasoline/battery electric powertrain, making it the first hybrid vehicle in Rocket League! Check out this sleek supercar in the trailer above. The car, which has a Dominus Hitbox, comes with a Reel Life Decal specific to 007’s Aston Martin Valhalla, a unique Engine Audio, and its own signature Wheels. Add it to your inventory for 1100 Credits

*Note: The items included in the bundle can only be equipped by 007’s Aston Martin Valhalla. 007’s Aston Martin Valhalla cannot be customized with all item types.

To celebrate James Bond's return to Rocket League, pay close attention to three in-game Challenges, each with its own 007-themed reward. Complete these Challenges, and unlock the 007’s Aston Martin DB5 Player Banner, Agent 007 Avatar Border, and the "00 Agent" Player Title.

And, for any agents who failed the previous mission, 007’s Aston Martin DB5 will return to the Item Shop on the same day, and will be offered in a complete Bond 007 Collection that includes both cars and their additional items for 2000 Credits.

Rocket League will also host a special Agent vs. Villains event on our Twitch channel featuring personalities from the community! Stay laser focused on our Twitter account for more details about who will be on each side!

Get 007's Aston Martin Valhalla on October 7 through October 13. Be careful out there, agents!

RLCS 2021-22 format, schedule, prize pool, regions, and more

Psyonix's reveal of the 2021-22 season of the RLCS couldn't have been more jam-packed with juicy information. As well as the usual - dates, prize pools, and so on - we also got news of some huge expansion into four new regions, plus the confirmation that the RLCS is returning to LAN.

The RLCS 2021-22 season will span from October 2021 all the way through to the end of June 2022, and along the way teams from a total of eight regions will compete for a share of an enormous total prize pool of $6 million. Of the eight regions, four of them are brand new to Rocket League esports, meaning we will have a truly global competition this time around.

The season will include four live events which will take place in various destinations around the globe. There will be three Majors - one at the end of each of the three splits - and a $2 million RLCS World Championship at the end of the season.

RLCS 2021-22 season features revamped, $2 million World Championship

The RLCS returns this October with the RLCS 2021-22 season. Doing away with the numbered seasons, RLCS 2021-22 really looks to shakeup Rocket League esports with new regions, a bigger prize pool, and a return to LAN.

That return to LAN includes the prestigious RLCS World Championship, which will be returning as a fully international event that will crown a global champion. While we're a long way off finding out where it will take place, we do know when - the Championship will run for a total of ten days, starting July 22 and ending on July 31.

The RLCS Championship will be split into two, with a Wildcard tournament and the 16-team Main Event. Prior to the Championship, eight of the best Rocket League teams will have auto-qualified, but the remaining eight spots will be contested for in the Wildcard stage. Each region in the RLCS will receive a certain number of spots at Wildcard, and only the top eight will earn a place at the Main Event.
