Milestone and Feld Entertainment have officially revealed Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 2 for release next year. Just like its predecessor, the game will be arriving on Switch.
This new edition puts players at the centre of the sport, expanding upon the original game with a renewed career mode (where players can experience training, interviews, and promotional activities), an enhanced track editor, additional training compounds, and improved playability. You can get all the details on these aspects with this feature list below:
- A new “career” mode. To become a real professional racer, being fast on the track is not enough, you must increase your fame and conquer fans’ hearts to attract the biggest sponsors, while managing media relations and rivalries with other racers. New features include an agenda full of events and activities to improve your racing skills on four new tracks. The life of a real Supercross Champion isn’t just at the races!
- Your face, your style, your track. Every rider has their own style, both on and off the track. That’s why customization reaches a new level in Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 2. Players will be able to make their racer unique, thanks to more than 3,000 customizable items, from physical appearance to the long list of accessories to wear during races. On the track, there are more than 300 customisable mechanical parts to always find the right feeling with the bike. The highly-appreciated Track Editor returns, enhanced with a lot of new features for players to create their own track to challenge and share online with the community.
- Challenge the top athletes from the 2018 season. There are more than 80 official racers from the 2018 season with some of the most famous such as reigning 450SX Class champion, Jason Anderson, and Marvin Musquin and, for the first time making his appearance in the videogame, Eli Tomac; all of the riders have been accurately reproduced, thanks to a renewed face scanning technology. The 17 tracks available at launch, including the new NRG and Raymond James stadiums, fully recreate the innovative track designs and incredible atmosphere of a Supercross race, including its renowned fireworks and TV-styled replay cameras set inside the most recognizable and prestigious stadiums in America.
When the original game landed on Switch earlier this year, we were impressed with several aspects - including the realistic feel to the sport and the impressive graphical representation it received - but couldn't help but feel shortchanged with the numerous features that missed Nintendo's console. Other versions benefitted from a track editor, 22 racers on track instead of just 12, and multiplayer - all of which were skipped on Switch. Hopefully, this time around will see any extras included.
The game is set to be available on Switch on 8th February 2019.

I thought the first game was a joke, and there's going to be another?
Monster energy drinks can be decent but they are pretty over-rated. It's basically just another soda with slightly more kick. Only very slightly. I'd rather just have a couple cups of coffee or a Red Bull.
Wonder if it will have Labo support

@Heavyarms55 : I thought they more or less copied the formula of Red Bull after its original formulation was a commercial flop.

"Wonder if it will have Labo support "
Hahahaha....
Imagine playing Realistic Racing games with....... Toy-Con.

I like Lemon Tea & Non Soda drinks better than any adult drinks.
@Heavyarms55 with you on Monster being over rated I'll just stick generally to diet sodas for the taste and Rockstar if I have to.
As for the game I'm all for giving developers second chances so hopefully this is a better effort than last year.
Only buy "sim" racing games on PC,but hats off to anyone who plays this on Switch with no analogue triggers.
@Anti-Matter look up some recipes for chai tea, you should like that. There are a few companies that do tea bag varieties but they can really vary in quality and taste.
On topic, I was hoping for a good Supercross game with the first one, let's hope they fix the issues with the sequal.
The Officialler Videogame
Motocross videogames belong on the xbone, home of the mountain dew, redbull chugging proletariat.
No online mode, no buy! Tired of realistic racers on Switch without online racing!
“Improved track editor”
Switch didn’t get one... and was a cut back version so that press release has nothing to do with switch version and we will get whatever they fancy.... they’ll cut random stuff and not tell us until it ships
Hopefully they actually bother to do a decent port this time. The quality of their port for the first game was simply shameful, and I am usually a fan of this developer on other consoles.
Monster is my favorite energy drink but they can stick to beverages
I actually really like the first Monster Energy Supercross and still play it somewhat regularly. I really don't like playing racing games on-line, so the lack of on-line didn't bother me at all. And as a single player game, I thought it was actually pretty decent. I can understand people's disappointment with the lack of multiplayer, but some of the comments I saw on Amazon and You-Tube claiming PS2 graphics, terrible controls, and generally life ruining problems I found completely unjustified.
