The Grave Digger Legacy DLC pack is out now for Milestone’s Monster Jam Showdown, adding three versions of the iconic monster truck based on popular models from 2007, 2012 and 2022.
Grave Digger is perhaps the planet’s best-known series of monster trucks alongside Bigfoot, featuring a distinctive green and black livery.
Originally built in 1982 by Dennis Anderson from salvaged parts, Grave Digger was originally conceived as a mud racing truck. But after filling in as a car-crushing monster truck at one event it soon switched disciplines.
The name arrived due to Anderson’s response to trash-talking competitors: “I’ll take this old junk and dig you a grave with it.” Charming.
Grave Digger’s subsequent iterations quickly gained popularity thanks to Anderson’s aggressive driving and never-say-die attitude, becoming a household name in North America where monster truck racing was televised.
