　　Now Playing: Rocket League Birthday Ball Trailer

　　

New LTMs

Two limited-time modes will be available during the Birthday Ball event. The first is a new version of Heat Seeker, which will be playable in teams of two instead of the standard three-player team. The chaotic LTM will run from July 6-13.

　　Knockout mode is also making a return, allowing players to face off in an eight-person free-for-all where only the strongest survive. In this mode, drivers have the ability to block, attack, and grab other cars as they engage in vehicular combat. Getting knocked out three times will get you eliminated, but other players aren't the only thing you have to look out for--environmental hazards like spikes and lasers will pop up on the playing field, and making contact with them will result in an instant KO.

　　

New store items

The following items will rotate through Rocket League's item shop while the Birthday Ball event is live:

　　Fennec car (Titanium White)Fancy Formal decal (Fennec)Anniversary Edition Spyder WheelsAnniversary Edition Top Hat TopperRocket League's Anniversary Edition Top Hat Topper
