Psyonix is celebrating Rocket League’s second anniversary next month, and the developer is pulling out all the stops to ensure that this year’s anniversary update caters to the vast assortment of player feedback given throughout the year. In a recently released teaser trailer, Psyonix has revealed that the hit soccer-with-cars game is getting an enormous amount of new content that ranges from new music, all the way down to customizable engine sounds! Check out the trailer below, which provides a glimpse of what to expect in Rocket League’s second anniversary update arriving July 5th.  

As seen in the trailer, Psyonix is adding a new arena called ‘Champions Field’ to the lineup is available in casual, private and competitive matches once the update arrives. For those playing Rocket League on an eSports level, the new arena will be available from the start of season 5 which also begins on July 5th.  

Next up are two new import battle-cars entering the fray, named the Animus GP and Centio V17. The new additions will be obtainable via ‘Overdrive crates’, which will contain the new item drops released in the latest patch. Speaking of new items, they’ll also be adding some long-anticipated customization options to the game. Arriving in the new update, players will be able to choose the look and color of their wheel’s tracks and the sound their car engines make. As with previous customization options, these new options will become available in post-match loot drops.  

Another exciting new customization option arriving in Rocket League’s second anniversary update is the inclusion of customizable goal explosions. As many of you reading this already know, the net ‘explodes’ in a cool visual effect once a goal is scored, propelling all cars away from the net. Players will be able to choose from different explosion visual effects, which range from purple fireworks, a fiery explosion effect, and a nifty ice explosion complete with flying ice and snow particles.  

Last but not least, Psyonix is also adding 18 new songs by Monstercat to the game’s already stellar in-game radio station, ‘Rocket League Radio.’ Though the new song list has not been released, it is likely that they will be auditoraly consistent with the game’s current music selection. Did somebody say ‘Solar Eclipses’?
