<p>Coming to <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/rocket_league">Rocket League</a></strong> this summer is a 9-week-long event named Radical Summer and it’s celebrating the season ’80s style.</p>
<p>That’s right, if you’ve had your fill of ’80s nostalgia you should look away now because Psyonix will be pumping its motorised soccer game full of the stuff starting from 10th June. Celebrating iconic movies, TV and ‘culture’ from the decade of big hair and shoulder pads, players will be able to earn ‘Cassettes’ (google it, kids) through online matches which you can cash in for a bunch of neon ’80s swag for your ride.</p>

<p>Most excitingly of all, Ecto-1 – trusty ride of the Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston themselves – is making its long-awaited debut. We’ve already got the DeLorean from Back to the Future and K.I.T.T from Knight Rider will also be joining them, along with gear from ET, The Goonies, Karate Kid and more.</p>
<p>The event is split into three parts, with the limited-time game modes and content outlined in the official blurb below:</p>

<p>Fans have been calling for the addition of Ecto-1 ever since the game released and we’re going to find it <em>very hard</em> to resist this particular piece of DLC. Time to get bustin’.</p>
<p><em>Had enough of all this regurgitated ’80s nostalgia? Still going to get Ecto-1 and KITT despite yourself? Let us know below.</em></p>
