They are exclusive to the retail version until July 18th, after which they will be available for individual purchase in-game.
Arena changes:The Neo Tokyo map has been added! It is based on the “Underpass” Lab map layout, and it is immediately available in all playlists, including competitive.
A new experimental map, “Pillars”, has been added to the “Rocket Labs” playlist.
“Underpass” and “Double Goal” have been removed from the “Rocket Labs” playlist.
End of Game Spotlight: After the conclusion of each match, the winning team will now be spotlighted in the center of the field, allowing players to show off. They can jump, dodge, and spin to do tricks, and can show off their battle-cars and boost trails.
Each player can earn up to two medals for their match performance. For example, you are a “Prodigy” if you score 3-5 goals.
Quick Chat Updates: Each Quick Chat message can now be customized by selecting from a larger list of preset messages.
The default quick chat for “Centering!” has been changed to “Need Boost!”. “Centering!” is still available as part of the full list for players that preferred it.
Post-Game Quick Chats have been added! They replace the “Informational” bindings once the match ends, and can also be customized. Don’t forget to “gg” after matches!
New Items Rarities! New “Rare” and “Very Rare” Item Drops will now be found after online matches. These item quality features all-new Neo Tokyo-themed drops, rare decals, and very rare boost trails for you to discover and equip!
Introducing new Item Attributes: Item Attributes are rare bonus properties that sometimes come with an online item drop. The “Painted” attribute recolors an existing item. Wheels and Toppers can now be discovered with this attribute.
The “Certified” attribute makes that item track a specific statistic while equipped in online matches. As you earn more stats with a particular item, it will gain an increasingly prestigious title.
Trade In System: You can now trade in duplicate “Uncommon” and “Rare” item drops. Trading in five items of one quality will return one item of the next highest quality. For example, trading in five uncommon items will yield one rare item.
To access the Trade In system, navigate to the “Manage Inventory” option that’s been added to the Garage submenu.
Players can now assign car movement and orientation to mouse axes to better accommodate players with disabilities.
