Psyonix’s vehicular soccer classic, Rocket League, will be entering a new season soon. Themed around ice and fire, the new season will feature “the dragons of Forbidden Temple Arena, that have finally awoken from their slumber.” The Forbidden Temple arena has been overhauled, replete with glacial waterfalls, rivers of molten lava, and legendary beasts. Making its debut in the new season is the Emperor muscle car which has a few variants in store.
Here are all the details ahead of the new season’s December 7 release date.

Rocket League Season 9 launches on December 7, 2022, with a brand-new Rocket Pass
The official Rocket League blog reveals a bunch of details about the new season:
New Rocket Pass
The Emperor muscle car comes to Rocket League with four different versions. While the base car is available immediately with Rocket Pass Premium, working through the Tiers will unlock the upgraded Emperor II.
Two more Special Edition versions will be available in the Pro Tiers. Emperor II: Frozen brings chill vibes to your sweatiest matches, or you can light up the Arena with Emperor II: Scorched. All versions of Emperor will use the Breakout Hitbox and are available in Rocket Pass Premium.
After you’ve got the new car, you’ll need some Items to go with it. Fans of the Interstellar Decal will be starstruck by the constellation-inspired Constella Decal, while the fire and ice theme continues with two sets of Special Edition Wheels. Equip the Piercer: Crystalized Wheels to freeze out the competition, or slip into the Forerunner: Roasted Wheels for your next barn burner.
Those who missed out on 2017’s Dragon Banner Season Rewards can get the Ice Drake and Fire Drake Player Banners. Those who venture into the Rocket Pass Pro Tiers can earn two new Goal Explosions. Unleash the fury of fire with the Brimstone Goal Explosion at Tier 95, or unlock the Ice Age Goal Explosion at Tier 115 to put the world on freeze. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg—just like Season 5’s Cosmosis Goal Explosion, both these effects will spread across the Arena, briefly covering the pitch in fire or ice whenever you score.
Tournament rewards
This Season’s Tournament Rewards really bring the heat. Leave a trail of flames behind you with the Seared Trail and Fireball Boost. But first, you’ll need something to burn, and the Oil Can Antenna has all the fuel you’ll ever need.
For the truly lucky, this Season’s Black Market Rewards bring out the fiery side of competition. Light up the night with an incendiary Fire Clap Goal Explosion, or tap into something monstrous with the Skulking Scale, an animated Decal that mixes glittering crystal with the scales of a dragon.
Season’s end also means Season 8 Tournament Credits will reset. Players who participated in Competitive Tournaments during Season 8 will receive an All-Star Cup reward. Unspent Tournament Credits will be converted to the highest level reward a player is eligible to earn based on their Tournament Rank and Tournament Credit amount. This conversion will happen automatically the first time you log into Season 9.
