2. Vote on your favourite mods by giving them the THUMBS UP on mod.io!

The #5 and #4 will receive a Descenders game key, an item of choice and will be included in the MOTY 2021 leaderboard in the lobby.

The top 3 modders will receive a Descenders game key, their respective Bronze, Silver and Gold kit and bike in-game, and will also be included in the MOTY 2021 leaderboard.

You have until the 20th of December!

You can also encourage people to vote on your creation on mod.io - while the decision lies with the devs, it'll definitely help your chances!

Don't forget that we have a whole community of modders working together on our Discord, so it's worth joining and chatting with them if you haven't already - they're a friendly bunch and between them and their YouTube tutorials, you'll get started in no time!

Good luck, we can't wait to play what you're working on!

SHALL WE GO ON A TRIP? THE GRAND TOUR UPDATE IS LIVE NOW!

Hey everyone!

So you haven't heard much from us since the BIKE PARKS, BEARDS AND BOUNCY CASTLE update we put out back in July, and that's because we wanted to make sure we gave you an even BIGGER update for the next one, and we're super happy to say that we have! WELCOME TO THE GRAND TOUR!



We've got a bunch of new stuff that we've introduced in this new update:

THREE new bike parks: Llangynog Freeride, Rival Falls, and Island Cakewalk. These are some BEAUTIFUL maps which we know you're all gonna love playing!

NEW MISSIONS: Descenders has always had achievements, but we thought we'd take it one step further - we've added dozens of new missions, each with unique objectives to complete! Wanna ride to the edge of the social hub? THERE'S A MISSION FOR THAT TOO

NEW REWARDS: You didn't think we'd give you a bunch of missions to do with no rewards after completing them? OF COURSE NOT! Reward yourself with some gear when completing missions, and enjoy some of the new items we've included in this update!

NEW CUSTOM LOBBY OPTIONS: We love giving you endless options so you can play Descenders exactly how you want, so what's the need to stop? We've added even more options for custom lobbies, so get your friends together and tear up those tracks!

The team have worked SUPER hard over the last few months to bring this update to you as we wanted to make sure it was perfect. Thank you for all the support and love you give us each time we release a new update - here's to many more! :heart:
