Motorcycles and ATVs have a certain lasting appeal to them, though there have been surprisingly few games that use them to their full potential in the last few years, at least in the context of Motocross tournaments. However, theMX vs ATVfranchise, which has been the defining Motorcross game series for years now, has a new game officially entering the fray.
THQ Nordic today announcedMX vs ATV Legends, a new game in the series that’s headed to thePS5 and Xbox Series X. While there wasn’t any gameplay included alongside the announcement, THQ Nordic did share a few gameplay details about the upcoming title, along with a few screenshots to give a better idea of where the game is headed.

This will mark the first new entry in theMX vs. ATVseries since 2018’sMX vs ATV All Out, which was released to middling reviews. While the game has garnered a “mostly positive” rating on Steam, the critical response largely cited technical issues and lackluster gameplay as holding it back. As with all games, though, it’s impossible to tell howMX vs ATV Legendswill fair until it’s available to play.
However, it’s not quite clear whenMX vs ATV Legendswill launch, at least not yet. The came was only given an ambiguous “coming soon,” so it might be a while yet. However, that does mean that fans should get a look at gameplay before the game launches, which is a net positive. After all, there will likely be some apprehensive fans following the last entry in the franchise.
Luckily, though, the games industry isn’t lacking triple-a racing games on new hardware.Forza Horizon 5will be taking players to Mexicowhen it launches, whileGran Turismo 7will offer something for those interested in the racing sim genre. It’s a solid time to be a fan of racing games overall, and one can only hope thatMX vs ATV Legendsends up sweetening the pot, whenever it launches.
MX vs ATV Legendsis in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
