The Next Trailmakers Update

Hi Trailmakers!

It’s been a while since we’ve updated Trailmakers. Apart from a nice Christmas holiday, the reason for the lack of updates is because we are working on a larger project.

The project is two-fold. First of all, we are revamping the main “campaign” of Trailmakers. The Expedition didn’t really hit the mark for a lot of players (or for us for that matter) so in the spirit of Early Access we are going to remove it and replace it with something we think fits the DNA of the game a lot better. We can’t wait to show you more about it when it’s ready. We think this update is important in order to make Trailmakers ready for 1.0 release later this year.

In regards to the accessory blocks that are spread out in the current Expedition, there will be a new way to obtain them in the new Campaign mode. If you’ve already unlocked them all you will get to keep them of course. The update will also have a ton of other features, making it the biggest Trailmakers update yet. We expect to launch it on Steam in February.

Secondly, we are also finishing up Trailmakers for Xbox. We decided long ago to do the Xbox version ourselves instead of outsourcing it to make sure the quality was satisfactory. We are launching in the Xbox Game Preview program, so the new campaign and the Xbox launch are not to be confused with a transition into 1.0 and exiting Early Access. That will come later this year. We plan on releasing Trailmakers on Xbox at some point between February and April, depending on how many last minute obstacles we run into. When we finally commit to a release date, we will put out a date reveal trailer.

Thank you for your patience!
