Hey everyone!

SURPRISE! We've just dropped a major update for Descenders on Steam - the Riot Tour Update!

We've got a bunch of new things in this update, including a brand new tour, new cosmetics, and more! Shall we get into it?

New tour: The RageSquid Riot Tour! Since we were planning on releasing an update to fix mods, we thought, why don't we just drop a brand new tour? The Riot Tour comes with a set of brand new missions, new cosmetics, and some VERY shiny rewards at the end of it... hold on, is that a new LUX bike?





Trick combos! Now you can combo your tricks easily and earn even more REP with double, triple, even quad multipliers!



Here's the full list of new content:

New Tour added! The RageSquid Riot Bike Park now has new missions added:

• Routes - Finish the routes that the modders have made
  
• No Marker - Complete the park without setting a respawn marker
  
• First Person View - Complete the park using First Person camera
  
• Scavenger Hunt - Find all the coins throughout the park
  

• New gear as reward for RageSquid Riot missions: Lux Riot Bike, Siro Gear, Ovanny Gear
  

And alongside all the brand new content, we've fixed mods, and a few other things:

• Bike Park UI: Bike Parks are now categorised to easily find your favourite bike park
  
• Bike Park UI: Navigation usability fixes
  
• Mod.IO API updated
  
• Mod.IO bugfix: If no mods are loaded, refresh buttons will load them
  
• Grand Tour UI: Tour Selection bug fixed
  
• New RageSquid Riot Tour missions are also available in all languages
  
  

Phew, that was a big one! We're working to get this update out on consoles in the new year, and PlayStation players, we promise we're bringing you your update as soon as possible, thank you for hanging on
