Soccer and anime enthusiasts diving into the Roblox world of Blue Lock: Rivals are in for a treat with the latest Lunar New Year event patch. This update kicks off the new year by introducing a festive array of themed cosmetics and exciting new content for players to unlock. The event is centered around a compact event pass that challenges players to score goals, rack up assists, and complete other in-game tasks to earn XP and unlock a variety of rewards.
The Blue Lock: Rivals Lunar New Year event pass is your ticket to exclusive items, including a rideable dragon and various Styles. The crown jewel of this pass is the stunning Dragon Cape, which players can flaunt during matches. Additional limited-time rewards include the Lantern Goal Effect, the fiery Roar emote, the Lanterns cosmetic, and a striking red-and-gold Lunar player card. These rewards are up for grabs from now until January 31, so make sure to start playing and scoring to secure them before they disappear.
The developers have also shared additional highlights in the patch notes. New maps have been added, which they claim are "way more optimized" for a smoother gameplay experience. Players can also look forward to new teams, a volley system, and the introduction of Keybind options for a more personalized control setup. The update promises "lots" of bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements, though specific details on these changes haven't been fully disclosed.
Blue Lock: Rivals draws its inspiration from the popular manga and anime series, offering high-energy, powered-up soccer matches that stand out among other Roblox experiences. While many Roblox games focus on action and tower defense, this unofficial spinoff has become a major attraction for fans of sports and anime alike. This Lunar New Year event marks the latest update since the game's launch last July, following a recent patch that introduced the Yukimiya and Hiori Style and Flows, along with a rework for Bachira that added three new abilities.
