Super Mega Baseball 2 finally steps to the plate on May 1st, 2018

Metalhead Software’s Super Mega Baseball sequel seems like it’s been in development forever at this point. First on schedule to launch in early 2017, Super Mega Baseball 2 was delayed a full year to focus on polishing up the experience for fans. Well we’re finally seeing the light and the end of the tunnel and the game is officially hitting the PS4, Xbox One and the PC on May 1st, 2018. With that delay came a number of enhancements including PS4 Pro and Xbox One X support, online multiplayer functionality and more.

To celebrate, Metalhead Software dropped off a new gameplay mechanics trailer and some semi-new screens. Check ’em out below.
