Super Mega Baseball 3 bumped back to May, “On the Field” reveal video

Metalhead Software originally hoped to launch Super Mega Baseball 3 this month, but warned that industry-wide changes caused by the coronavirus could impact the release date. That ended up happening, as the company announced today that its upcoming title will now launch on May 13.

Alongside the news, Metalhead also shared a new video that explains the on-field experience in Super Mega Baseball 3, including reworked batting AI, tweaked pitching mechanics, improved fielder selection, and more. We’ve included it below along with more information about the game.
