Let’s Get the Party Started
Enough about the past; let’s boost into the future! The celebrations begin today with Heatseeker, a crowd-favorite mode where the ball lands on your opponent’s goal. After a week of magnetized matches, we’ll switch to Knockout on July 13! Use unique Attack, Block, and Grab mechanics to blast your opponents out of Arena in this eight-player free-for-all.
Throughout the events, players can also take on Birthday Ball Challenges to earn rewards. Unlock the Golden Goat Player Banner and Precious Metal Avatar Border, plus a total of 300 credits.
Black Tie Formal
Anniversaries only come once a year, so suit up for the party in the updated Item Shop! For only 100 Credits, players can slip into the new Fancy Formal Fennec Decal. Inspired by the previous Octane and Dominus tux Decals, this bespoke look will have you celebrating in style. Players can also complete the classy black and white outfit by picking up the highly sought-after Titanium White Fennec.
Players have loved Season 7’s new Gold Painted items, so let’s keep the gilding going! Pick up the Spyder: Anniversary Edition Wheels or Top Hat: Anniversary Edition Topper, both available in 24k glory. The celebrations begin July 6!
