Like many live-service games, Rocket League is getting a new holiday-themed event, this time to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Dubbed ?Lucky Lanterns,? this event adds items inspired by the Lantern Festival, a Chinese celebration of the start of the lunisolar year. Be on the lookout for Red Envelopes after playing online matches, which can be redeemed for Lantern Festival-themed items like a Paper Dragon Topper, Fortune Wheels, and a handful of others. You?ll also gain access to a new stage called Forbidden Temple Arena. Lucky Lanterns will kick off on all platforms starting on January 20, 2020, and run until February 10, 2020 (make sure you redeem your Red Envelopes before they expire on February 13th). Red Envelopes can also be used to gain access to Golden Lanterns. These items contain rewards from previous Champion series (1-3). Here?s a trailer for the Lucky Lanterns event:

And you can enjoy some new screenshots showing off some of the event?s new items, too:
