Neon lights, towering skyscrapers, and retro-futuristic style comes to Rocket League on June 20 with our largest update in the game's history, "New Tokyo."

The cyberpunk-inspired stadium was originally part of our "Rocket Labs" Playlist as "Underpass," but it has now been made even better with streamlined gameplay and highly-detailed environments! Watch the trailer below:


In addition to the new arena, the Neo Tokyo update also includes the following features that we've been previewing over the past month:
  • The beginning of "Season 3" for Competitive Playlists, which resets all skill ratings and rewards last season's players with exclusive Rocket Trails that reflect their highest achieved ranks
  • An expanded Item drop system that adds...
  • New Quick-Chat customization options that expand player choices for fast, in-game communication
  • New Post-Game celebrations that spotlight the winning team and allow them to jump, spin, and boost their car to show off their accomplishments
  • "Pillars," a new experimental Arena that separates the field into three lanes via two massive walls in the middle of the stadium
  • Eight new Trophies and Achievements on all three platforms [Blog Coming June 13]
  • A new, in-game "Showroom" that allows players to view and purchase all previously-released and future premium DLC [Blog Coming June 15]

Following our Neo Tokyo update, we'll also release two Neo Tokyo-inspired premium cars that will be available first to owners of Rocket League Collection's Edition on June 24 in Europe and July 5 in North America.

Known as "Esper" and "Masamune," the pair of futuristic vehicles will bring a fresh anime aesthetic to Rocket League's ever-growing collection of playable vehicles. They join the two previously-announced Battle-Cars, "Marauder" and "Aftershock," as timed exclusives for the retail release.

All four DLC cars will be available for digital purchase worldwide on July 18 for USD $1.99 per car (or regional equivalent).
