MILAN, Italy/ PALMETTO, Fla., (August 8, 2024) – A new trailer released today by Milestone and Feld Motor Sports, Inc.™ unveils the secrets of the Monster Jam™ Showdown Tour, the single-player campaign .

Featuring over 130 events grouped into three categories, the Showdown Tour will allow a non-linear progression where fans will get to enjoy a variety of competitions, combining speed and skills without a given order. Designed to welcome different playstyles and exalt the strength of each player, every victory will unlock new events in the same category as the one just played. This way, players will constantly find new challenges akin to their preferences; nonetheless, they’ll get plenty of variety as the same category will include several game modes and allow them to explore all three original environments of the game. 

The locations of the Showdown Tour are wild and out of the ordinary, the perfect place to push Monster Jam™ trucks to the limit and unleash their full power even beyond what happens during live events. Following a free-progression approach, it will be possible to race the untamed landscapes of Alaska, Colorado, and Death Valley from the very first minutes of play by navigating a map where all the events will gradually appear as players progress. For instance, after completing a Freestyle competition in Colorado, a new Freestyle contest in another region of the map might become available, as well as a different game mode such as a Best Trick match.

By achieving victories within the same event category, players will collect the tokens they need to access the Showdown Events, which are special boss battles that seal career advancements. Here, they will have to prove to be the worthy owners of some of the most iconic Monster Jam trucks by competing against their previous drivers. In case of success, the rival truck will be added to the player’s private collection and higher-difficulty events within the same category will also be unlocked.  

Importantly, Showdown Events are more than 1v1 races; being fast will not be enough to triumph, as players will also have to please the crowd by performing crazy jumps and destroying as many objects as possible to make the most spectacular run.

This design will leave fans completely free to decide at any time whether to progress within the same category by completing the most difficult events or to test themselves in something different. In one case, they’ll maximize their skills in the game modes they prefer and unlock the associated trucks. However, mastering all categories will be required to fully complete their career and collect all 66 vehicles* and over 140 paint outs available in the game.

Monster Jam Showdown will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and PC as of August 29, 2024, with Early Access** available from August 26, 2024.
