San Diego Studios unveiled a special MLB The Show 22 MVP Edition and its subsequent cover art continuing to build hype on the Shohei Ohtani reveal.
Los Angeles Angels superstar and reigning American League Most Valuable Player Shohei Ohtani was revealed as the next MLB The Show cover athlete. As expected, a special Collector's Edition was revealed for those wanting to spend the extra cash for bonus rewards. A special treat for the cover art is that it's inspired for Ohtani's affinity to manga.
Artist Takashi Okazaki, known for his work in the recent Star Wars: Visions, designed the cover and fans are raving.
