First feature details and trailer for MLB The Show 18

Typically the first news and trailer for MLB The Show comes in early December but it was a much longer wait for MLB The Show 18 as some vague details on features and the first look at the game arrived today. Though neither of them really give away much about upgrades and additions to expect from the game it at least signifies the start of the more condensed promotional campaign which should make for a busy next six weeks.

MLB The Show 18 was originally announced for an early release date of March 23, only when buying through PlayStation Store or from Gamestop. Other retailers – Best Buy, Target, Walmart – have now been added for the early release but the PS Store and Gamestop provide greater pre-order incentives.
