What's coming with Rocket League Season 18?

First and foremost, the debut of a brand-new season for Rocket League will reset everyone's ranks. The competitive ladder will be wiped clean, and players must once again head into the placement matches for different game modes to ascertain their rank in-game.

Ranks across every playlist will be wiped clean, so players must complete over 40 matches should they choose to determine their rank in all four playlists in the game.

Beyond that, the latest season promises to bring forth a brand-new map, Futura Gardens. As evident from the name, the arena has been constructed using a futuristic theme. It's a daytime map for now, however, we expect a night rendition of the same to go live very soon.

Furthermore, the latest season will incorporate a brand-new battle pass in the game. Players can unlock a ton of free and premium rewards by purchasing this pass.
