Ready for another dose of off-road action? Well, THQ has just announced a new multi-platform racing video game from their MX vs ATV franchise, to be called MX vs ATV Untamed.

THQ will be sharing the love with all the consoles as the video game will get versions for the consoles (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PS2) and the handhelds (PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS). MX vs ATV Untamed will feature several improvements from its previous incarnations, including broader open world environments, an X-cross career mode, and a new mode called EnduroCross. The X-cross career mode will be featuring eight vehicles (with the debut of the new ORV Sport) while EnduroCross will have players going against all sorts of obstacles like rocks, logs, and pits of mud.

THQ seems to be enthused about the multi-platform release. Jack Sorenson, executive vice president of worldwide studios had this to say:

We've taken the core MX vs ATV racing experience and tailored game-play to match the strengths of each individual gaming machine. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, Wii and PlayStation 2 system versions, the PSP system version, and the DS version will all deliver unique experiences that capture the franchise's strengths and maximize the fun gamers have on their system of choice.


THQ will be working with Rainbow Studios for the upcoming title and will make use of the Rhythm Racing physics engine. You'll be glad to know that the game will be available online. Additional game modes included in MX vs ATV Untamed are the following:
  • EnduroCross - as the name suggests, will have players racing going through tough terrain. The operative word would be "endure".
  • Opencross - this type of race is held on trails and all vehicles can compete
  • Supercross - is held in a stadium track
According to THQ, the game will be shipping to the shelves in January next year. Well, that's all we have for now. We'll keep you posted on additional information about MX vs ATV Untamed when they become available. Stay glued.

 » Looking forward to it
I have the first game for psp called MX vs ATV Unleashed and it's a good game. I'm glad the new one will have online play. That always extends the play time after you beat the game.

 » yay!
This game was much much better than Motorstorm even on the PS2. In those days you could get a decent number of tracks, gameplay modes, and vehicles without paying extra. I can't wait to play it on my 360.
