Here I announce you are invited by King Psyonix to the Rocket League Birthday Ball! Psyonix has announced the special celebration of the Rocket League’s 7th year! The ball will last for two weeks starting from July 6 to July 19, with 2 limited-time games, a lot of challenges and birthday presents!!
The announcement comes with a very epic trailer. Let’s take a look at what the glamorous Birthday Ball will entailed.
Two limited-time Birthday games
Rocket League will host two limited-time event modes during the Birthday Ball.
Week One: July 6 – July 13
The birthday week starts with a 2v2 Heatseeker. Heatseeker is an interesting twist to the traditional gameplay, where every time you hit the ball, the ball will seek the opponent’s goal! It will gain speed as time goes and the first team with seven goals will win the game.
Week Two: July 13 – July 19
The birthday week will end with a knockout. The Knockout mode will bring together 8 players in a brutal Hunger-Game vibe match where the last standing man wins. You have the ability to do Attack, Block, and Grab in a paper-rock-scissor mechanic to knock players off the arena. The arena available will be Quadron, Carbon, and Calavera Arenas. Knocked out three times and you’re out! And watch out for environmental hazards, those will kill you off instantly.
New Items to be earned
Four glamorous items will be available on item rotation during the Birthday Ball. After all, you have to look good for this prestigious event! You can purchase the items through the Item Shop.
