Activision and Live Nation developing games based on Monster Jam |
Ó
Activision Publishing Inc. (a part of the fast-growing Activision Inc.) has signed an agreement with Live Nation, the creators of the Monster Jam series of monster truck competitions which include racing and freestyle events. According to the multi-year agreement, Activision now has exclusive rights to develop and distribute video games based on Live Nation's Monster Jam series.We're not yet sure what the official title of the games will be, but the first Monster Jam game should be ready by the end of 2007. It will feature 20 of the world's top monster trucks on the Monster Jam circuit, including Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction, Monster Mutt, and El Toro Loco. (If the cute floppy ears and tail-like extension don't make it obvious, that image to the right is Monster Mutt.)
Charlie Mancuso, President of Live Nation - Motor Sports has this to say about the new partnership:
We feel we have found a partner in Activision that shares our vision for both an authentic Monster Jam game that will appeal to the core Monster Jam fans, and a game which will also appeal to gamers by going above and way beyond anything we could do at the live events; it will have it all.
It's not yet clear which platforms will jam to the smoke and rumble of Monster Jam's world-famous monster trucks, but Activision said that the agreement is for "video games on all platforms." We'll post this article as an off-topic bit of news in QJ.NET's Windows/PC, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 sub-blogs for now, until Activision releases more concrete details.

Nice news)
First Post
MTM was a great series that ended way too soon. I had fun with that series a long time ago - back when playing online wasn't a huge deal. If they can make this as fun then I will def. be buying it.
I too enjoyed the MTM series, it really was THE monster truck game to play.
