It's nightfall in Gotham City, and the Rogues Gallery is gearing up for mischief and mayhem. This calls for the return of the Dark Knight himself! The hero Rocket League deserves is back to restore order during the annual Haunted Hallows in-game event on October 14! 

Licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of DC, one of the largest publishers of comics and graphic novels in the world, prepare for a long Halloween with Haunted Hallows Event Challenges. These new Challenges can be completed to unlock items themed after iconic Batman Super-Villains. Check out the trailer above and the slideshow below featuring the Joker Dominus Decal and Boost, Gotham's Finest Merc Decal, Harley Quinn Wheels and Topper, Poison Ivy Boost, and more! Plus, claim the free Dark Knight Player Title as a log-in reward.

Batman and his foes are also taking over Rumble and transforming it into Gotham City Rumble. This new twist is the same Rumble gameplay, but power-ups are now themed after Batman and his enemies. Use your power-ups and engage Joker's Boxing Glove, Harley's Hammer instead of the Boot, Poison Ivy's vines instead of the Grappling Hook, and many more. Claim a dark victory in Gotham City Rumble while it's available as an LTM all throughout Haunted Hallows.

This year's Haunted Hallows swoops in with the all-new Arena variant: Beckwith Park (Gotham Night). Beckwith Park has been infiltrated by the most notorious Super-Villains of Gotham City. Be on the lookout for nods and easter eggs scattered all around this new limited-time Arena. Catch a glimpse of Beckwith Park (Gotham Night) in the trailer above. 

Batman's return to Rocket League wouldn't be complete without his iconic vehicle, the Batmobile. All three versions of the Dark Knight's high-tech vehicle, the Batmobile (1989), The Dark Knight's Tumbler, and the Batmobile (2016), are speeding back into the Item Shop. Each Batmobile comes with the new Reel Life Decal, giving them their signature black color from the movies. Plus, celebrate your goals with three Bat-Signal Goal Explosions! These three fiery Goal Explosions show off the Bat-Symbol from three different eras. Get all the Batmobiles and Goal Explosions in the Batman Halloween Bundle or buy each vehicle or item separately. Here's what's included in each:

• Batmobile (1989)
  
  • Reel Life Decal
• The Dark Knight's Tumbler
  
  • Reel Life Decal
• Batmobile (2016) 
  
  • Reel Life Decal
• Batman 1989 Goal Explosion
  
• The Dark Knight Goal Explosion
  
• Batman 2016 Goal Explosion

[/b]
[/list]


Each Reel Life Decal will be available for current Batmobile owners for 300 Credits each. The three Bat-Signal Goal Explosions will also be available individually for 500 Credits each. 

*Note: the Batmobile (1989), The Dark Knight's Tumbler, and the Batmobile (2016) cannot be customized with additional items. 

Suit up and join Batman in the fight during this year's Haunted Hallows starting October 14 through November 1. Be sure to earn your Challenge Items, throw down in Gotham City Rumble, check out Beckwith Park (Gotham Night), and take control of the Batmobile in the Item Shop all throughout the event!

Free Play Ball Control

• New ball controls are now available in Free Play
  
  • We want to thank everyone who contributes to BakkesMod and their hard work for inspiring this feature addition
• You can now control the ball in five different ways with the push of a button:

  • Start Dribble: Places the ball on the hood of your car
    
  • Pass Ball: Sends the ball towards your car

• Defend Shot: Shoots the ball towards the closest goal
  
• These new controls can be used together
  
  • Example: You can use Launch Ball to send it high, then Defend Shot to mimic a shot from the ceiling or high up on the wall
• Ball Reset continues to work as before (return to the kickoff position)
  
• Defend Shot and Pass Ball don’t always work as intended in some arenas and modes, including:
  
  • Double Goals (Rocket Labs)

  • Hoops

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.

Version: Rocket League v2.04
Scheduled Release: 9/14/2021, 4 p.m. PDT / 11 p.m. UTC


Voice Chat

• We are temporarily removing voice chat with v2.04. As many of our players know, the current voice chat system is not up to modern standards, making it difficult to use in a fast-paced game environment. We’re also aware that some players experience performance issues when using in-game voice chat -- some sort of mid-match lag or service disruption -- and we do not want voice chat to hinder quality of play.
  
• Earlier this summer, we said that we are working on bringing an improved, more comprehensive voice chat system to Rocket League. We are on track to bring voice chat back to the game in early 2022. We’ll share more details once we’re closer to voice chat making a siiick comeback next year.

[PlayStation 5] 120 FPS Support

• [PlayStation 5] Fixed a bug preventing 120 FPS support on the PS5
  
• Players on PS5 can now play at:
  
  • 4K at 120 FPS without HDR
    
  • 4K at 60 FPS with HDR
• To play at 120 FPS, compatible hardware (HDMI 2.1-capable 4K/120 Hz display, HDMI 2.1 cable) is required
  
• 120 FPS support also requires the appropriate video settings on your console. To change your Video Quality Settings on your PlayStation 5:
  
  
  • Go to Settings from the PlayStation 5 Home Screen
    
  • Select Screen and Video
    
  • Select Video Output
    
  • Set Enable 120 Hz Output to Automatic
• HDR is disabled in Rocket League when 120 Hz is enabled. Rocket League will output at 4K at 60 FPS with HDR if Enable 120 Hz Output is set to Off. For more info, check out this PlayStation 5 4K Resolution Guide
