- FIM Motocross World Championship features a full roster of all
the teams and world-renown bikers on the motocross racing
circuit, including top ranked U.S. supercross champion Ryan
Villopoto.

involves incredible finesse as well as physicality,” says
Villopoto. “This game will be a great opportunity for gamers and
motocross fans to immerse themselves into the extreme sports
world by racing through intensely rugged terrain and pulling off
high-flying tricks.”
In MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship motocross fans will
get more than just their hands dirty as they must use their guts
and guile on the track during races, elimination gauntlets and
head-to-head showdowns. Every bike produces different rips as
they tear through the mud tracks, creating dynamic terrain
deformation. Players can also take to the air and perform
jaw-dropping stunts and tricks in the “Monster Energy Trick
Battle Mode,” which offers 30 different tricks in three
spectacular arenas. Players can also unlock more challenging
events and spend their winnings on unlocking new tricks, better
teams, or snazzier gear to deck-out their lean, mean two-wheeled
machines.

NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. This partnership will ensure the
best marketing and support to the game in order to fully satisfy
the gamers community who is heavily waiting for MUD American

passion and appreciation for all the fans that support the
athletes. To coincide with the lead-up to the game’s launch
date, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. will hold a “RV2
Experience” contest to make one fan’s dream of meeting Ryan
Villopoto come true. One lucky winner will be a VIP at one of
