ROCKET LEAGUE ROADMAP: SUMMER 2018

rl_generic_screen_4_9_1920x1080.c6e1dc555a6eff57c623d9877706c9a5.jpg


Hi everybody! As mentioned earlier this year, we plan to provide a Rocket League roadmap every few months to give you a look at what content is coming in the next quarter or so. As May is now here, it's time to take a look at the roadmap for summer 2018!

MAY
In late May, we plan to release a Content Update including:

  • A brand new Arena
  • The start of Competitive Season 8
  • Competitive Season 7 Rewards
  • New in-game music with the release of ‘Rocket League x Monstercat Vol. 3’
  • And more!
JUNE
Following the Content Update, June will bring additional activities both in-game and out:

  • New, summer-themed in-game Event
  • The RLCS Season 5 World Championship live from London (be sure to tune in for Fan Rewards)!
  • New Licensed Premium DLC

JULY

Every July we celebrate Rocket League’s birthday, and 2018 is no exception. In July, we’ll kick off a big Anniversary in-game Event with some special throwback content for our long time fans as well as a lot of cool goodies to earn. Stay tuned for additional details as we get closer!

SUMMER FEATURE UPDATE (JULY-AUGUST)
We also have another huge Feature Update planned for late Summer. Some of the highlights include:

Cross-Platform Friends & Parties

  • Register an in-game ID that is a combination of a name with a unique code, like Scarab#7777
  • Add friends from other platforms by entering their ID into the new, in-game friends list
  • Party up with your new cross-platform friends and play online!
Progression 2.0

  • Leveling Updates
    • We’re removing the level cap of 75 and re-balancing the entire level-up curve. Levels will take a fixed amount of XP to earn instead of becoming exponentially longer as you level up.
    • You’ll be converted to a new level appropriate for how much you’ve played Rocket League in your career.
    • Leveling up grants you an Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, or Import item (instead of these drops being randomly-timed as they are currently)
    • You can earn new Titles and Banners at level 100 and beyond to show off your status
  • XP Updates
    • As part of the leveling updates, XP is going to become Online-only
    • XP will now be based on Time Played in matches in addition to your Score.
    • New XP Mechanics!
      • Match Completion Bonus (for finishing games)
      • Consecutive Games Bonus (for staying in Casual lobbies)
      • Party Bonus (for playing with friends)
      • Leaver Penalty (to punish quitters in all modes)
      • Double XP Weekends
      • And more!
“Rocket Pass”

Alongside the XP and leveling updates, we’ve also been working on a new system to give you new ways to earn items and make progress while playing Rocket League.

Our “Rocket Pass” system consists of multiple Tiers of earnable content. You increase your Tier by leveling up normally and you’ll unlock new, unique content as you go. Each “Rocket Pass” will last for a few months before it’s retired and a new Pass will take its place with new content to unlock.

The “Rocket Pass” has both Free and Premium tracks so everybody has something to work for. The Free track contains new cosmetic items as well as Decryptors and exclusive in-game Titles, while the Premium track will have a flat cost to unlock. You will be able to preview Premium track content before you buy the unlock to access it.

We are still developing the “Rocket Pass” system and we’ll have more details to share as we get closer to launch!

That’s just a quick look at a few of the major highlights that are coming up this summer. We’re really excited about all of the planned updates and hope you enjoy everything we have in the development pipeline. Thanks for playing!

This looks pretty exciting! Especially the cross-platform playing! Now I can play with some of the xbox friends without having to get on the Xbox...and with the computer Xbox app, I can still hop in the chat :smile:

The leveling system will be interesting. I'm assuming there is no end....? I liked how they had it but I guess after a couple of years and people maxed out, they think people need some sort of another incentive to keep playing...if playing more and the double xp = more rare items earned, I guess that sounds good to me. I'll wait to see how it all pans out though, hoping for the best.

They're changing the xp needed for levels? Finally! I've been stuck in the 50s for what feels like my past 500 hours played.

One problem I see, being able to gain items for leveling up could lead to some boosting, granted it's not rare ****, but if you delete your local save on PC you could farm the f*** out of the uncommons and stuff.

I just hit full 75 so feels good to get that before they make this change.

All welcome changes. Hopefully they axe crates in favor of the pass.

Wut? Man you play too much :wink: Just never when I am playing...and/or you just don't invite me anymore. #feelsbadmane

Lol, you're only about 20 hours ahead of me at this point. I rarely see you on when I'm playing. Usually really late at night.

I've been 75 for months, I'm still trash, but that's a different discussion. I hope I've leveled up well into the 80s at least.

As per this post a couple weeks ago:

“What’s up with Rocket Pass and the new progression system?” is likely your next question! Both are still on track as outlined in our Summer Roadmap. We still plan to include them in an update before the end of August, so stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.

EDIT: Cross-platform parties will be part of the same update as Rocket Pass and Progression.

... so hopefully it will be here "before the end of August" if they stay true to their word.

Has there been an actual date announced yet? I still haven't even gotten my season rewards (think Roadmap Update comes with a new season?)

No, road map updates and new seasons are not one in the same. They will announce a new season separately when it gets close. The only thing they've said so far is that it will be "later this fall"... its possible it will be in September but might be later than that too. Who knows.
