Hot as fire, cold as ice

Long held by an ancient seal, the dragons of the Forbidden Temple Arena have finally awakened from their slumber. As the two resume their eternal war, these legendary beasts leave a treasure trove of elemental items in their wake.

Discover the secret of a long-lost Rocket Pass, discover the Forbidden Temple (Fire and Ice), and harness the power of the Emperor Car in Season 9, starting December 7!

Pass an elemental rocket

Although dragons may claim the skies above, the arena is ruled by a different breed of beast. Built from the elements, the Emperor muscle car comes to Rocket League with four different versions! The base car is available immediately with Rocket Pass Premium, and working through the tiers will unlock the upgraded Emperor II.

Two more special editions are available in Pro Tiers. Emperor II: Frozen brings cool 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 get the new car, you’ll need some items to go with it! Fans of interstellar decals will be charmed by the constellation-inspired Constella decal, while the fire and ice theme continues with two sets of special edition wheels. Equip the Piercer: Crystallized Wheels to shut down the competition, or slip on the Forerunner: Roasted Wheels for your next barn burner.

Missed the 2017 Dragon Banner Season Awards? You get another chance to feed your draconic side with the Ice Drake and Fire Drake player banners.

Those who enter the Rocket Pass Pro tier can earn two new Goal Blasts. Unleash the fury of fire with a Brimstone Goal Blast at Tier 95, or unlock an Ice Age Goal Blast at Tier 115 to freeze the world. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg—just like Season 5’s Cosmos Goal Explosion, both of these effects will spread throughout the arena, briefly covering the pitch in fire or ice whenever you score a goal!

Play with fire, break the ice

We finally find out why the Forbidden Temple is so, well… forbidden. With both dragons released, the once magnificent arena is transformed into a wasteland of permafrost and molten lava. Despite the damage, the Forbidden Temple (Fire and Ice) seems like the perfect place for a friendly game of soccer!

Tournament prize

This season’s tournament awards really bring the heat. Leave a trail of fire behind you with seared trails and fireball boosts. But first, you need to burn something, and the oil can antenna has all the fuel you need.

For the truly lucky, this season’s black market highlights the fiery side of the prize competition. Light up the night with a fiery fire clap round blast, or tap into something terrifying with Skulking Scale, an animated decal that mixes glittering crystals with a dragon’s scales.

Secrets of the Temple

After the destruction of the temple grounds, we discovered several ancient tomes in the rubble. Their true meaning has yet to be unlocked, but so far we’ve deciphered two brief messages: Frosty Fest will be bringing the ultimate chill and Neon Nights is back with the hottest beats ever! Our trained Psyonix archaeologists will report back with more information soon.

The end of the season means the Season 8 tournament credits will reset. Players who participate in competitive tournaments in Season 8 will receive an All-Star Cup award. Unspent tournament credits will be converted to the highest level of rewards that a player is eligible to earn based on their tournament rank and the number of tournament credits. This conversion will happen automatically when you log into Season 9 for the first time
