Discover Your Career Path in Monster Jam Showdown

Monster Jam Showdown: A New Era of Motorsports Gaming Arrives on PlayStation

Hello to all Monster Jam enthusiasts! The wait is nearly over for the most exhilarating motorsports event on four wheels. I’m Federico Spada, the Game Director for Monster Jam Showdown, and I’m thrilled to share some exciting insights into the career mode of our upcoming game, known as the Showdown Tour. This single-player campaign promises to deliver an unmatched gaming experience, blending speed and skill in a way that only Monster Jam can.

The Showdown Tour: A Unique Career Mode

The Showdown Tour is the cornerstone of your Monster Jam Showdown journey, featuring over 130 events that combine both speed and skill. Unlike traditional racing games, Monster Jam is a unique discipline that extends beyond mere racing. Our goal was to harness this uniqueness to create a tailored gaming experience that highlights the strengths of each player. To achieve this, we designed the Showdown Tour with a sandbox-like approach, allowing players to choose their preferred events without a predetermined order.

Diverse Game Modes and Environments

In the Showdown Tour, you will compete in eight different game modes spread across three original environments. To cater to various playstyles, we have categorized the events into three groups: Stunt, Short, and Racing. Once you complete an event in a particular category, you will unlock new events within the same category. This ensures a continuous stream of challenges that align with your preferences while offering plenty of variety. Events within the same category will cover numerous game modes and take place in all three unique environments we have developed.

The locations in the Showdown Tour are wild and extraordinary, providing the perfect setting to push your Monster Jam trucks to their limits. Whether it’s a stadium, an open-air arena, or an actual circuit, the environment will test your mechanical beasts to their fullest potential. From the glaciers of Alaska to the scorching desert of Death Valley and the dense forests of Colorado, these untamed landscapes will be accessible from the very beginning. You can navigate a map with all the events, which will gradually appear as you progress. For example, after completing a Freestyle event in Colorado, you might unlock a new Freestyle contest in another region or a different game mode, such as a Best Trick match.

Showdown Events: The Ultimate Challenges

Earning victories in the same event category will allow you to collect medals, granting access to Showdown Events. These special challenges unlock higher-difficulty competitions within the same category. In Showdown Events, you will have to prove your worth by competing against the previous driver of some of the most iconic Monster Jam trucks. If you succeed, you become the official driver of that truck, adding it to your collection. However, these are not just simple 1v1 races; to win, you must also entertain the crowd with a spectacular run. The circuit layouts will change with each lap, featuring more destructible objects and bigger ramps to enhance your performance.

This design gives you the freedom to decide whether to progress within the same category by playing the most difficult events or to challenge yourself with something different. To fully complete your career and collect all 66 vehicles and over 140 paint outs, you’ll need to master all categories. Both kids and adults will undoubtedly strive to add every fan-favorite Monster Jam truck to their private collections.

The Elite Monster Jam Competition

Think of the Showdown Tour as the elite Monster Jam competition. Only the best trucks can participate in this championship, which pushes both vehicles and drivers to their limits in a series of extreme and unconventional clashes. By defeating the best trucks on the planet, you will pave your way to victory in the Showdown Tour and ultimately become the Champion of the toughest Monster Jam competition ever.

Release Date and Platforms

If you believe you have what it takes, get ready to step on the gas and kick off your career. Monster Jam Showdown will be available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on August 29, 2024, with Early Access starting on August 26, 2024.
