Developed with Unreal Engine 5, Monster Jam Showdown takes advantage of cutting-edge technology to create lifelike environments as never seen before in a Milestone game, with lots of graphical details and an unprecedented light system, also empowering gameplay possibilities and the physics system.

As well as enjoying all the action of the official competitions, players will be able to drive the iconic trucks in unique environments facing a variety of events which will make the fun as big and as loud as the sport itself. In particular, the game will feature a total of 66 official Monster Jam trucks (40 trucks will be included in the base game and 26 will be available through free or premium DLCs), and more than 140 paint outs to unlock and apply.

Aiming to create a faithful reproduction of Monster Jam live events, fans will compete in all three categories of venues, namely American Football fields, baseball stadiums and speedways, experiencing rectangular, diamond and oval layouts. Beyond that, players will be able to drive their favorite Monster Jam trucks in three original environments inspired by 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. From official competitions such as head-to-head racing and freestyle to specially designed events, a total of 10 different game modes will grant a robust mix of arcade experiences both online and offline, including split-screen.

To deliver the feeling and excitement of mastering 1,500 horsepower mechanical machines, Monster Jam Showdown will feature arcade gameplay endowed with comprehensive and customisable driving aids. This way, everyone will be able to dive into the true spirit of Monster Jam by easily performing massive maneuvers and dynamic stunts. At the same time, Milestone’s technology and expertise will ensure truthful physics in order to deliver an approachable yet rewarding gaming experience.
