The Italian studio tries its hand at another genre.

Monster Jam Showdown takes advantage of cutting-edge technology to create lifelike, meticulously detailed environments, as well as an unprecedented lighting system and physics system. With the power of Unreal Engine 5, Milestone has been able to expand gameplay possibilities and aims to provide a fulfilling experience that will give players the best of Monster Jam and much more. In addition to all the action of the official competitions, players will be able to drive iconic monster trucks in unique environments and face a variety of events that will make the fun as big and loud as the sport itself.

Monster Jam Showdown will feature a total of 66 official Monster Jam trucks (40 trucks included in the base game and 26 available through free or premium downloadable content) and more than 140 paint jobs to unlock and apply. In order to create a faithful representation of Monster Jam live events, fans will compete in all three venue categories, American football fields, baseball stadiums, and speedways, offering varying experiences between rectangular, diamond, and oval layouts.

In addition, players will be able to drive their favorite Monster Jam trucks in three original environments inspired by the American outdoors: the barren desert of Death Valley, the stunning forests and crystal-clear rivers of Colorado, and the wintry, wild mountains of Alaska. From official competitions such as head-to-head racing and freestyle to custom events, a total of 10 different game modes will provide a robust mix of arcade experiences both online and offline, including split-screen. To deliver the immediate feel and excitement of mastering 1,500 horsepower mechanical machines, Monster Jam Showdown will feature arcade gameplay as well as extensive and customizable driving aids. As a result, everyone will be able to immerse themselves in the true spirit of Monster Jam, performing massive maneuvers and dynamic stunts with ease as they crush the competition. At the same time, Milestone’s technology and expertise will ensure truthful physics to deliver an accessible yet rewarding experience.

Monster Jam Showdown will be released later this year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
