Super Mega Baseball 4 will launch this summer with a roster of former pros

The first to be published by EA

Each game in the Super Mega Baseball series strips the sport back to its fundamentals: pitching, batting, and making its big-headed playerscry. That makes it a baseball series that someone with no understanding of the sport can enjoy - and I would know.

Now Super Mega Baseball 4 has been announced, and for the first time it’s got a roster of pros to play with - or former pros, at least.

Here’s the announcement trailer:

Previous SMB games have featured caricatured fictional players, like a baseball version of theHurricanes(our champion spirit is here to stay). SMB4 breaks tradition by also including “more than 200 larger-than-life versions of fan-favorite former pros”. It includes a few names even I’m familiar with, including Babe Ruth, Jose Bautista and David Ortiz, and many more that I’m not.

Super Mega Baseball 4 also features a “presentation upgrade”, with new stadiums and animations, an expanded trait and Team Chemistry system, and expanded cross-platform multiplayer.

Super Mega Baseball 4 will release on June 2nd, and isup on Steam now.
