The first big holiday since Rocket League's release is coming up later this month. Developer Psyonix plans to celebrate by offering special Halloween-themed customization items, but only for a limited time.

Beginning on October 18, six new items will be available as post-game rewards: the calavera, fuzzy brute, and fuzzy vampire antennas; pumpkin topper; carriage wheels; and candy corn rocket trail. You'll earn these as you would standard items, by simply playing the game. Whether you win or lose, you'll have a shot at unlocking these items after completing a match.
You'll only have a limited time to do so, however--they'll only be available until November 2. If you aren't able to get your hands on something by then, you'll have to wait until next year's Halloween event for another shot at unlocking it.
These Halloween items are coming as part of a free update for the game. Rocket League's next DLC, the Revenge of the Battle-Cars pack, is due out on October 13 for $4, but you won't need to have purchased it to get these new Halloween items.
