Rocket League will get the limited-time Knockout Bash battle royale mode starting April 27

Rocket League is stepping foot into battle royale frenzy with its upcoming Knockout Bash. This limited-time event will last from April 27 through May 10. There will be no balls or goals in this mode, and for the first time, Rocket League players will have to play alone without a team. Knockout Bash is a free-for-all Battle Royale mode that pits eight players against each other. This event will also bring Spring-themed rewards and free Golden Gift Baskets that will be unlocked by completing in-game challenges.

Rocket League developers Psyonix have designed three new arenas for the Knockout Bash: Calavera, Carbon, and Quadron. Players will also need to master new mechanics to gain an advantage in this mode. A well-timed dodge will act as an attack knocking down other cars further away. There will also be block and grab mechanics to help you achieve victory.

As we mentioned earlier, eight players will battle it out for victory in free-for-all action. In classic battle royale fashion, there will be a reduced safe zone. Once eliminated from the Safezone, players will have 10 seconds to return or lose a life. There will be other ways to knock players out, like throwing them into Hazards for an instant knockout. Each of the players will have a total of three lives, after which they will be permanently eliminated. The match will enter a sudden knockout after 6 minutes, where every attack and every throw will be increased to their maximum power and going out of the safe zone would mean an instant knockout.

The Knockout Bash will arrive with a new set of challenges that will reward players with spring-themed items like Bloom Wheels, Monarch Boost, or the animated Flutterby decal. Completing the challenge up to five times will net players a golden gift basket that includes a mix of classic reward items.
