The Ecto-1 is Coming to ‘Rocket League’ as Part of The Radical Summer Event
This really must be the year of Ghostbusters. Well, the 35th anniversary, at least.
With the upcoming remaster of the 2009 game, the cross-promotion with Planet Coaster, and of course the merchandise (lots of it), Psyonix is now getting into it with their hit, Rocket League.
Next week, the title will kick off the start of a new in-game event called Radical Summer. Beginning June 10 and running for nine weeks, the event will bring players back to the 1980s with three separate celebrations of “iconic movies, television, and culture” that includes new items, time-limited game modes, and cars.
Of course, that means the Ecto-1 is involved. From June 10 to July 1, Rocket League will feature the iconic car as part of “’80s Blockbusters”. Available to players for $2USD is the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Car Pack, which includes the Ecto-1 Battle-Car, Ecto-1 Wheels, Proton Pack Boost, Slimer Topper, a Ghostbusters player banner and avatar, and the Stay Puft Goal Explosion.
This will also coincide with Radical Summer’s first limited-time game mode, called Ghost Hunt, which will be a 3v3 contest in which players use proton streams to capture the ball and then deposit it into the opposing team’s Containment Zone. The Blockbusters segment will also feature other big summer flicks from the day including Back to the Future, E.T., The Goonies, and Karate Kid.
Sadly, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting a Friday The 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street-themed vehicle. Because let’s be honest: You’d want a Freddy Cadillac or Freddy Cycle, wouldn’t you?
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
