According to the roadmap of upcoming events, we’ll be seeing a lot more from Super Mega Baseball 4 this month.

UPDATE: (5-11) The trailer has arrived along with a new blog filled with more details. Here’s a list of some of the notable Legends:

  • David Ortiz
  • Vladimir Guerrero
  • Billy Wagner
  • Bartolo Colon
  • Jose Bautista
  • Mike Mussina
  • George Brett
  • Babe Ruth
  • Willie Mays
  • Rollie Fingers
  • Ozzie Smith
  • Hank Aaron

Here are some of the highlights from the blog.

  • You can find these Legends in classic Super Mega League, as well as the brand-new Legends League in SMB4. Now players can choose to play as either fictional SMB characters or as their favorite Legends in the fictional SMB world.
  • In this League, Legends are organized into two Conferences: New School Conference and Old School Conference, pitting the two eras of baseball against each other.
  • Each Conference includes brand-new teams like the Mammotanks and Empire in the New School Conference, and Originators and Joyriders in the Old School Conference.
  • You can play through Season mode using a Legends League team, or you can make a copy of a Legends League team and customize the players and team to your liking.
  • You can also start some modes like Franchise, Season and Online Leagues with our brand new Shuffle Draft feature, which will allow you to build teams that incorporate both Legends and Super Mega All-Stars into one team.
  • In Franchise mode, you can import players from other league(s) and they will appear as free agents you can pick up during your season, or in the offseason. For example, you can start a Franchise playthrough with the Super Mega League where the Legends appear as free agents from season to season.

We’ve also made some changes in Pennant Race to include our Legends. Each week, 4 players on each Super Mega League team are replaced by 4 Legends, which are now called “Pennant Race Ringers.” Teams that haven’t been used much recently or on aggregate lose more than other teams, receive stronger ringers. Conversely, teams that are picked frequently or have high win rates on aggregate, receive weaker ringers. This replaces random Mojo and Fitness changes for each race that were seen in SMB2 and SMB3. Pennant Race is still restricted to the 20 Super Mega League teams (but these teams can be visually customized).

  • New Platforms & Cross-Play: Super Mega Baseball 4 is expanding to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for the first time, including all-important cross-play in Pennant Race and Online Leagues on new platforms, as well as PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
  • Top Community Requests: From the brand-new Shuffle Draft deckbuilding-inspired feature, to expanded player traits and a new team chemistry system that add a new layer of strategy; dozens of fan-requested upgrades – automatic walks and runners, two-way players, expanded bullpens, customizable free agent pools, and more – combine to add new gameplay depth.
  • Visuals: Experience authentic, cinematic baseball, powered by new cameras, cutscene animations and lighting provides a true-to-life environment in every stadium.
  • Audio: New crowd, voiceover, and foley audio give audio throughout the game a big upgrade from home plate to the bleachers. Plus, players will be immersed in the sounds of baseball with an all-new soundtrack with licensed and original music.

Super Mega Baseball 4 will release on June 2 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam for $49.99. The Super Mega Baseball 4 Ballpark Edition will release three days earlier on May 30 for $59.99 and include the following new stadiums:

  • Peril Point (Available at launch)
  • Ciudad de Colores† (Coming Summer 2023)
