The most important thing in game dev before working on anything else is to get a funky Title Screen up and running. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
In the Rocket League | X-Men ‘97 event, customize your ride with X-Men Decals, Boosts, Wheels, and more.
Update: An earlier version of this blog stated that several Decals listed below are eligible for cross-game ownership with Fortnite. These Decals are not cross-game eligible, and the blog has been updated to reflect this.
Welcome to the next stage in Soccar’s evolution! From April 23 at 9 AM PT to May 3, 2024, at 9 AM PT, Rocket League will mutate as items based on some of the most powerful characters from X-Men blast onto the arena. Carry on Professor X’s legacy by completing Challenges to unlock Toppers, Player Banners, and other items inspired by Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 on Disney+. Also, items based on iconic heroes like Cyclops, Wolverine, and Storm have swiped into the Item Shop. Make a pit stop to check out these Decals and more!
TAKE ON CHALLENGES, BUB
Warm up the Blackbird—there are twelve X-Men Challenges that each offer a different reward. Speaking of the X-Jet, the Blackbird is one of three unlockable Toppers, alongside the Cerebro and Sentinel Head. But first, are you on the side of good or evil? Show where your allegiance lies with three Player Banners, including X-Men, Wolverine, or… Magneto. If you’re one of the heroes, you might also want to swap in the X-Men Wheels. If you’re as good with a deck of cards as you are with a Soccar ball, then the Gambit Decal is your ace of spades. Every match is more exciting when there are fireworks, so bring the pyrotechnics to the arena with the Jubilee’s Pyrotechnic Energy Boost. Like your energy a bit more… negative? Leave unstable energy wherever you go with the Marvel Crackle Trail. By completing one of the more difficult Challenges (Play 20 Online Matches), you’ll earn a Golden X-Crate. Open it up from inside your inventory to unlock items from the Champions, Vindicator, or Velocity Series. You can complete this Challenge up to five times, meaning you can unlock up to five X-Crates! There’s also an unlimited Win 10 Online Matches Challenge, which rewards 20,000 XP each time.
GO ROGUE WITH MORE X-MEN ITEMS
From energy beams to weather control and magnetism, it’s fair to say that mutant powers come in all shapes and sizes. Show off the full force of the X-Men with the many Decals and other items in the Item Shop! First up are two items based on the stand-in leader of the X-Men, Cyclops. Inspire your teammates with the Cyclops Fennec Decal, which replicates Scott Summer’s classic blue and yellow costume. Pair it with the Cyclops’ Optic Blast Boost to zoom off with a red laser beam! When boosting, be careful not to bump into the Rogue Breakout Decal.
Where Cyclops can be found, Jean Grey isn’t far behind. The Jean Grey Dominus Decal features animated flames showing the pyrokinetic power of the cosmic entity that used to control Jean’s mind. Next up is the Mistress of the Elements. Turn every match into a lightning round with the Storm Breakout Decal. And brighten up the arena even more with the Jubilee Octane Decal complete with shiny sparkles.
How about swapping out the carbon fiber for adamantium? The Wolverine Octane Decal will give your ride retro vibes with Logan’s iconic yellow threads. Celebrate your goals with Snikt! and circumstance with the Wolverine Slash Goal Explosion.
Here’s something that’ll attract attention. Conquer the arena like the powerful leader of the Brotherhood with the Magneto Dominus Decal—a perfect fit for the Mutant Brotherhood Wheels. Control over magnetism not included.
Can’t wait to see the Cyclops Decal in action? The X-Men Mega Bundle + Fennec includes everything in the Mega Bundle plus the Fennec Car Body (Saffron)!

FIRST APPEARANCE: Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! - "What a Night for a Knight"� (September 1969)
SPECIAL MOVES ZOINKS! Power Uppercut DESCRIPTION: The last thing Shaggy remembers before The Change was exploring another spooky old mansion with his pal Scoob, just like any other day with the gang. He found a strange glowing crystal and, thinking it was rock candy, went to take a bite. There was a FLASH... and then blackness. When he came to, he found himself in possession of incredible powers. He doesn't know where they came from or how they work, but he's vowed to use them to vanquish evil and protect the little guy. As soon as he gets some lunch, that is.
