Rocket League update 2.21 adds two new arenas and El Chapulin Colorado Bundle

Rocket League continues to improve, with new updates adding new rocket-powered cars, arenas, and game modes. Season 8 recently added a licensed car to the Rocket Pass for the first time, and now a new update brings two new arenas along with a host of bug fixes highlighted in the Rocket League update 2.21 patch notes.

New arenas

Two new arenas are included in the update: The Block (Hoops) and Farmstead (Spooky).

The Block is a new outdoor court for Hoops mode and introduces The Block Party, a new in-game event with Block Party Challenge Rewards.

Complete the event challenges and you can win an animated Double Dribble Topper, Game Time Player Anthem, a Very Rare Drop, and huge XP Rewards. This event will run until 18 October.

Both arenas are available in Private Matches, Exhibition Matches, and Free Play, while The Block can be played in online matches from 12 October.

El Chapulin Colorado Bundle

A new bundle based on the popular Mexican superhero El Chapulin Colorado has also landed in Rocket League.

Available to buy from the Item Shop for 1,000 credits, the El Chapulin Colorado Bundle includes a Siganme los Buenos Decal, Antenitas de Vinil Topper, Mas Rapido que una Tortuga Wheels, and Chipote Chillon Goal Explosion.

You’ll need to hurry though because the El Chapulin Colorado Bundle will be gone after 17 October.
