[h2]DYFI VALLEY [/h2]



Our new natural bike park is inspired by the rural tracks based in the Welsh valley, and offers something a little rural and technical for those who like their bike parks a little more rustic! With some showstopping areas and a few hidden gems, Dyfi Valley is a fantastic ride from top to bottom!

We're ALSO excited to bring back a new iteration of everyone's favourite absurd adventure, BIKEOUT! Can you best the new obstacles? Make sure you record your runs, they're going to be HYSTERICAL!

We can't wait to see how you get on with them, make sure you come share your screenshots and your videos over on the discord!

Join us for an AMA over on r/descenders!

Hey there everyone!

For a little while, we've been asking whether people would like an AMA with the team, so while we're all working for home we figured we'd set one up!

Lex, Rosie and Mike are answering questions over on the subreddit for the next few hours, from the future of Descenders and beyond! If you've had a burning question for a little while (or just want to find out some more about the team) now is your chance!



We can't wait to hear all your questions - you've got a few hours to get them submitted, so get your thinking caps on!

A new system, just for you!

Hey everyone!

Probably everyone by now has realized that we have over 600(!!) items in-game. That's a CRAZY amount!

We know this amount of choice is likely to be stressing people out, and so we want to go back to simpler times.

As a result, we've made choosing what to wear easier for you all. Hope you enjoy!


Much love,
