New MXGP Video Game to be Released this Summer Features Feedback from Pro Riders

MXGP PRO is a brand-new game from Milestone, designed to satisfy even the most passionate fans who want to live the motocross experience. Based on community feedback, the title has been revamped using a new method called the “mechanical approach.” Players will be able to customize nearly every aspect of their bike, based on real values and metrics.

“This year we have been able to completely redefine the physics and the entire gameplay experience of MXGP,” said Luca Simonotti, Lead Designer at Milestone. “We started from the analysis of suspension, we compared the pressure with fork extensions as well as single shock-absorbers using the same values of official MXGP athletes’ bikes; the same process has been done with the ECU mapping. Moreover, thanks to the exclusive partnership with official MXGP riders Tim Gajser, Tony Cairoli, and Gautier Paulin we have been able to receive qualitative feedbacks on areas of improvements towards the whole development process. It has been a unique experience for us to be on track with them and we are proud of the results achieved.”

To make the game experience even more authentic, Milestone signed an exclusive partnership with Tim Gajser, Tony Cairoli, and Gautier Paulin. Thanks to their feedback, MXGP Pro is going to feature a new level of realism. Tim Gajser explained how to have fun whipping, scrubbing, and passing through whoops sections. Tony Cairoli provided his feedback on Start & Braking Precision, including how to take advantage of the Starting Grid and time your brakes. Finally, Gautier Paulin explained how to control the ruts and take corners at top speeds.

The crucial knowledge gained from previous titles in the MXGP franchise has led to this new experience, which enhances racing by refining gameplay. Features will include a new Bike Set-Up system, which enables players to customize nearly every aspect of their bike, based on real values and metrics; A unique physics approach, which grants the player limitless movements with a reworked system of grips, collisions, and in air behaviors; Even more realistic rider movements, integrated with the bike and affected by the bike’s impact on different terrains.

MXGP PRO will be released June 29th on PS4, Xbox One and PC/Steam.
