Rocket League “gets animated” in Season 6

After months of disappointing – Season s, – Season 6 is set to take the world by storm with a new “animated” theme, a cool new Battle Car, and some great new content.

After a few months with Rocket League – Season 5, it’s certainly time for a change of pace. Luckily, – Season 6 is coming around the bend with a racy new “animated” theme and a ton of new content. But when does – Season 6 come out and what is that exciting new content we just mentioned? Remember when – Season 3 had that ghastly sports car focus? – Season 6 actually has a car that looks really really cool, and the general theme? We’re really looking forward to it!

That’s why I’m here: to tell you everything you need to know about Rocket League – Season 6! The release date as well as all the announced content is included in this article, including the brand new Nomad Battle Car, the new Rocket Pass for this – Season , the new “Neo Tokyo (Comic)” arena variant, and everything else.

What is the Rocket League – Season 6 release date?

Rocket League – Season 6 will be released on March 9, 2022 at 5pm CET. That makes sense, since that’s also when the Rocket Pass for – Season 5 expires. Also keep in mind that the – Season 5 rewards will also be available from that time on.

All Rocket League – Season 6 Details

Rocket League – Season 6 not only brings brand new stuff like a cool theme, the new Rocket Pass, and a Battle Car to the game, but also a fantastic new set of items, an exciting new game mode, and much more. It’s honestly one of the best – Season announcements since the switch to free-to-play, and we’re over the moon. The rest of this article will break down all the new announcements.

Remember, though, that with a new – Season comes a reset of ranks in Rocket League. The current rank distribution in Rocket League will change dramatically, as will the differences between players. What we can’t expect to see are many changes to the game’s MMR. A new competitive – Season will mainly bring cosmetic items and changes to the ranked game mode.

New Rocket League – Season 6 Theme

Titled “After the commercial break, we’ll be right back”, Rocket League – Season 6 presents itself in a cartoon theme, and it looks really incredible. From the bright colors in the game’s awesome new animated trailer to the numerous new items that will be available in Rocket Pass and the Item Shop, this “animated” theme really looks pretty spiffy.

The brand new “Nomad” Battle Car Rocket League – Season 6.

The “Nomad Van” is the brand new – Season 6 Battle Car from Psyonix. It looks like it’s the best Battle Car in a long time and has an adorable blob look. We will cover the Nomad’s hitbox in a separate article and will add it here as soon as possible.

What’s coming to the – Season 6 Rocket Pass?

In addition to the Nomad Battle Car, the Rocket Pass for this – Season includes a wide selection of new wheels, stickers, and a “Nomster” gate explosion. Psyonix has stated that the Rocket Pass for – Season 6 will be “as bulging as a clown car,” and it looks like it. Here’s what Psyonix had to say in the official press release:

Watch out for zapping – the mysterious Nomster has already been spreading around the game at breakneck speed. We don’t know exactly WHAT he actually is yet, but he’s already been spotted in new wheels, a gate explosion, and even a new antenna that appears to be engulfing the Nomad’s grille! Not fine Nomster! Not fine at all!

New Game Mode in Rocket League – Season 6

We can confirm that a brand new limited-time event and game mode will appear in Rocket League – Season 6. However, this mode has not been announced yet, with Psyonix clearly telling us:

In the course of the – Season , a new limited event is also coming, in which we will present a completely new mode that has the makings of a super smash hit.

What is the new arena in Rocket League – Season 6?

Rocket League – Season 6 will feature the brand new “Neo Tokyo (Comic)” arena variant, which looks really great. We’re not quite sure how this map will compare to the standard Neo Tokyo Arena. It reminds us a bit of how – Season 3 disappointed us with the DFH Stadium variant, which simply put a race track around the edge. The difference, however, is that this map seems to be quite different from the standard variant and just looks damn awesome!

For the time in a long time, I’m actually looking forward to a Rocket League – Season . From the first paragraph of Psyonix’s official announcement and the trailer, it was clear that with the combination of the brand new Rocket Pass, a new game mode, the adorable new vehicle, and the “animated” theme, we could be in for a great few months.

From the studio that brought you Rocket League, Psyonix presents – Season 6, a brand new adventure featuring our familiar and beloved cars. Rocket Pass for this – Season is themed around animated movies and features the new Nomad van and a previously unknown “Neo Tokyo (Comic)” arena variant. Also this – Season , we’re releasing items from the Fornax series, introducing the legendary Black Fennec, and hosting a great mid– Season event where we’ll introduce a new game mode.

Rocket League Explained – Car-football for Dummies


Soccer meets racing. In Rocket League, you go hunting for goals with Turbo. What sounds simple can quickly become complex due to the variety of techniques to control the ball. Here’s your beginner’s guide to getting started as a Rocket League pro, including all the terminology you need to know.

Rocket League is a video game published by Psyonix and belongs to the genre (game category) “sports simulation”. These are games where players can virtually practice a sport. In the case of Rocket League, this is a combination of soccer and racing, played on a futuristic soccer field.

Players compete alone or with up to 3 other players in a team, with the goal of scoring as many goals as possible. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the time. A round lasts about 5 minutes, but is extended with a golden goal in case of a draw. Unlike in conventional soccer, the players do not control people here, but special cars that drive across the pitch.

Rocket League offers a variety of game modes. From classic car-football to fun game modes with mutators. These are selected before the start of each game. In eSports, only the classic mode without mutators is used.

The Rocket League ABC

In Rocket League, the goal is to master the car, learn special moves, and still keep track of the field. When pros throw around terms like 50/50 or double tab, it’s easy to lose track as a newbie. So that you can shine with your knowledge both in the game and in the stream, we have summarized the most important terms of the Rocket League universe for you here.

50/50 – When two or more players touch the ball at the same time, a kind of press ball is created. The direction in which the ball ultimately flies is random and resembles a 50/50 chance.

Aerial – Unlike classic soccer, Rocket League is not only played on the ground, due to their boost, players can also move in the air for a short time, dribble the ball there or start a shot attempt. As soon as a player leaves the ground he makes aerial actions.

Ballchasing – If a player is chasing the ball all the time and neglects his position, this is called ballchasing.

Boost – To bring the car faster to a higher speed there is boost. The players also use this to fly and steer with the cars.

Demolition – The possibility of demolition shows that Rocket League does not always have to be harmless. Here you drive at high speed through the car of another player and destroy the vehicle. The player is taken out of the game for a short time until respawn and the own team has a higher chance to score a goal.

Double Touch – Double Touch is a term often heard in professional Rocket League streams. This refers to a player scoring a goal by first shooting the ball at the wall next to, or above the opponent’s goal and then sending the rebound towards the goal.

Flick – Controlling the ball is the name of the game in Rocket League. Flicks are shots where the player touches the ball through the dodge mechanic while jumping and shoots with it.

Flip Reset- In Rocket League, each car has a double jump, after which the car must touch the ground with its 4 tires to be able to jump again. Due to the game mechanics, it is also possible to perform this on the ball – the so-called flip reset.

ReDirect – if e.g. player A shoots towards player B and the latter then deflects the direction of the ball e.g. towards the goal, this is called a ReDirect.

Wave Dash – One of the most important techniques in Rocket League is the Wave Dash. By a well-timed flip shortly before you touch the ground, you get a speed boost without performing the flip completely. The technique is mainly used when jumping down walls.
