Rocket League officially goes free-to-play this Wednesday, September 23, and soon after, it'll get its first new in-game event: Llama-Rama. It kicks off this Saturday, September 26, and features some crossover items and concepts with Fortnite.

Unlike past Rocket League events, Llama-Rama will offer Fortnite-style challenges to complete, with each offering a specific item as a reward. That includes a llama topper, antenna, and wheels for your vehicle of choice, but that pool of vehicles is also increasing--complete all of the challenges, and you'll unlock Fortnite's battle bus for use in Rocket League.
