Neo Tokyo Will Be Rocket League's Biggest Free Update Yet On June 20th

Rocket League's biggest free update yet will be launching on June 20th. Dubbed "Neo Tokyo," the update will introduce a new, arena of the same name that is "inspired by the cyberpunk dystopias made popular in the 1980s." The map is said to be "a reimagined version of the celebrated multi-tiered stadium, 'Underpass,' with streamlined gameplay improvements and a beautiful, highly-detailed environment."

Several other major additions are to be introduced alongside the new arena. They are as follows.

• The beginning of "Season 3" for Competitive Playlists, which resets all skill ratings and rewards last season's players with exclusive Rocket Boosts that reflect their final rank
• An expanded Item drop system that adds…
  • More than 20 "Rare" and "Very Rare" Item types for online, post-game drops
  • An easy-to-use "Trade In" system that allows players to exchange multiple Items of one rarity type for an even rarer one.
  • New "Painted" Items that offer different color variations on existing Garage favorites like Toppers and Wheels
  • Special "Certified" Items that track specific in-game stats and increase in prestige the higher those stats go

• New Quick-Chat customization options that expand player choices for fast, in-game communication
• New Post-Game celebrations that spotlight the winning team and allow them to jump, spin, and boost their car to show off their accomplishments
• "Pillars," a new experimental Arena that separates the field into three lanes via two massive walls in the middle of the stadium
• A new, in-game "Showroom" that allows players to view and purchase all previously-released and future premium DLC
• Eight new Trophies and Achievements on all three platforms

Additionally, two cars inspired by the new map's theme—Esper and Masamune—will be made available to Rocket League Collector's Edition owners when it launches on June 24th in Europe and July 5th in North America, joining the Battle-Cars Aftershock and Marauder as timed Collector's Edition exclusives. All four cars will be made available to everyone else for $1.99 sometime after that.
