Race Big Across 3 Different Environments
Prepare to let all of your favorite trucks roar outside the stadiums, driving through the most spectacular untamed environments! Rise above the dust of Death Valley, take control of Colorado’s forests, and prove that you are an expert on Alaskan ice: insane freestyle arenas and wild tracks are waiting for you! Keep an eye out! Sandstorms, heavy rains, and blizzards are on their way, ready to escalate the situation.
Beyond the official competitions
We understand what the Monster Jam world is and means to all of its fans. That’s why we’re aiming to recreate it faithfully, as well as unique environments and events that will make the fun even bigger and louder than it is on TV. You’ll race in all three types of venues that host real-life events: all of our stadiums are inspired by existing ones, so you can feel the energy of those events.
However, as previously stated, official competitions are only a small part of the overall experience. You’ll be able to drive your favorite trucks in three unique environments inspired by America’s great outdoors: the barren desert of Death Valley, the breathtaking forests and crystal rivers of Colorado, and the cold and wild mountains of Alaska. From head-to-head races to freestyle to specially designed events, ten different game modes will provide a diverse arcade experience both online and offline, including split-screen.
A monstrous roster
Our key art features Grave Digger™ and Megalodon™, the newest additions to Milestone’s catalog. That’s because we understand that the very essence of Monster Jam, aside from official and outrageous competitions, is its iconic trucks: untamed 1,500-horsepower beasts that you can unlock and master.
Monster Jam Showdown will include 66 official trucks (40 in the base game and 26 via free or premium DLCs) and over 140 liveries to customize your vehicles. Tell others what kind of MJ driver you are!
The latest technology at work
Unreal Engine 5 is used in the development of Monster Jam Showdown. With the help of this state-of-the-art technology, we were able to create realistic environments that have never been seen in a Milestone game, enhanced by an unparalleled light system and an abundance of graphical details.
To give you the best possible Monster Jam experience, we have also enhanced the physics system and gameplay options.
