With the new season of Rocket League comes all sorts of new content. Season 5 is cosmic space themed, which will offer us a new “Aftermath” variant of Starbase Arc arena. It will also feature a new Rocket Pass full of space-themed collectibles, including the Spacedirt Paint Finish, Hyperspace animated decal, and much more. There will be an expanded look at the new Rocket Pass closer to Season 5’s launch.

There will also be a new limited-time modes coming to Rocket League in Season 5, putting a variant on Heatseeker. The new Heatseeker Rocochet will offer three new Lab Arenas: Barricade, Colossus, and Hourglass. You can look forward to playing this new LTM on November 18.
