Today, Metalhead Software has announced that Super Mega Baseball 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed Super Mega Baseball, will launch on May 1 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game will launch at $29.99, and Metalhead Software will also release three DLC packs with additional cosmetic customization content on launch day in case fans want to show their support in more ways. In order to celebrate the news, the developers behind the game have released a brand new video detailing some of the gameplay mechanics found in the game.
When the game launches in May, players will be able to compete in a ranked Pennant Race mode, challenge friends online or in-person in 1v1, 2v1, or 2v2 matches, or just take on the AI and have some old school baseball fun. “With Super Mega Baseball 2 we’ve put together a more sophisticated baseball simulation for the baseball purists, but we’ve also been careful to maintain the pick-up-and-play nature that made the original as accessible as it was,” said Metalhead Co-Founder Scott Drader. “Community feedback massively influenced our design choices for the sequel and we’ll be listening carefully to the community again this time when we’re considering further changes and additional content.”
