Monster Jam Showdown - PlayStation 5

All the power of the Monster Jam franchise is ready to land in your hands, with a new and groundbreaking off-road arcade experience. Monster Jam Showdown, an arcade racing game, brings the thrill of the live events right to your screen, offering an exclusive virtual experience of the official competitions. Get ready to race across three different biomes and perform your best tricks driving the most iconic Monster Jam trucks ever. Show your skills across tons of different game modes in the non-linear career mode, online, and in split screen. Only, with Monster Jam Showdown.

Monster Jam Showdown lets you step into the shoes of Monster Jam drivers and take control of Monster Jam’s most iconic trucks like Grave Digger and Megalodon. The game recreates the high-horsepower off-roading experience, allowing you to perform tricks in exhibitions or race other trucks on off-road tracks.

The game draws inspiration from the Monster Jam live events, giving fans an exclusive virtual experience of the official competitions. This isn’t the first game to capture high-octane racing for a virtual audience. Others went before it, but now it’s time for Monster Jam Showdown to take over the wheels.

The game retains the essence of the sport: putting the pedal to the metal aboard the behemoth trucks equipped with massive tires and roaring engines. From what we can gather so far, players will be walking in the shoes of Monster Jam drivers, taking control of the iconic real-world trucks.

The game will recreate a similar experience for fans, where the competition will take place in three types of venues; baseball stadiums, football fields, and speedways. Besides that, the game will also feature three unique, American-inspired environments: “the American great outdoors: the barren desert of Death Valley, the stunning forests and crystal rivers of Colorado, and the wintry, wild mountains of Alaska.”

Players will navigate these different terrains via ten different game modes, including head-to-head and freestyle racing. Ideally, this will be the first time a game in the Monster Jam series features up to two trucks on a racetrack. Also, fans should prepare for diamond, rectangular, and oval layouts instead of the regular straight or round track.

Unlike Steel Titans, which features a blend of arcade and simulation gameplay, Monster Jam Showdown is exclusively an arcade game. The developer is leveraging the power of Unreal Engine 5 to “create lifelike, meticulously detailed environments as well as an unprecedented lighting system and physics system.” Beyond this, the upcoming title will also include customizable and comprehensive driving aids.
