The first official season of Rocket League is set to be coming to an end soon, with one more update being released to send it off in style. However, this update is promising to be a big one as developer Psyonix has revealed that it will be introducing some new mechanics into the game. These include the likes of rewards being handed out to those who perform well in ranked matches, as well as tiered item drops that are sorted by rarity. The whole rundown on the update can be checked out on the official Rocket League Steam page by clicking right here, though you can scroll down to check out parts of it on this page.
Season 1 Ends with Rewards!
“The next patch (scheduled for February), will bring an end to the first season of competitive Rocket League. Once the Season is finished, Rewards will be delivered to players who reached “Bronze” Division or higher in the Ranked Play ladder.
What are these rewards? Limited Edition Crowns with Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum variants, that’s what! Equippable as Toppers for your Battle-Car, these rewards are based on your highest Division rank at the time that Season 1 ends. For example, if a player was “Silver II” in 1v1 and “Gold I” in 2v2, the delivered Crown would be Gold. Here’s a sneak peek of one of them:
We’re looking forward to seeing which Crowns you’ll be sporting when the next patch goes live next month!
Item Qualities
Another cool addition for the next patch is the introduction of “Item Qualities.” Items will now have a “Quality” tag and color that can be identified when the Item is dropped or viewed in the Garage. Those Qualities are:
Common (Grey) – Stock items. All the items you’ve come to love!
Premium (Green) – Items acquired from paid DLC
Limited (Orange) – Items acquired in seasonal or limited time promotional events, like Halloween.
In the upcoming February patch, we are introducing a brand new item quality: Uncommon (Light Blue)! This new item class will be found, well, uncommonly after completing online-only matches and will feature all-new Toppers and Antennas to deck out your Battle-Car!”
Rocket League is currently available for PlayStation 4 and PC, though a new version for Xbox One is set to launch next month.
