Descenders News

Hey there everyone!

PHEW it's been another big year for Descenders, we really hope you've enjoyed coming along through new maps and onto the Grand Tour with us! It's been such a fun year, I think we've seen more cool videos, amazing screenshots and neat mods than ever before!

If you've been enjoying Descenders this year, don't forget to nominate it for the LABOR OF LOVE award on Steam! The team have been hard at work now well since launch, and have adored every new cosmetic, system and map they've added. It's been a pleasure to keep biking with you all, and we cannot WAIT to see what 2022 brings!



You can vote for your Steam Games of 2021 HERE > STEAM AWARDS

Don't forget, we're also running MOD OF THE YEAR 2021! You can check out what that's all about here > MOTY 2021, but if you've played a mod you love make sure to upvote it over on mod.io and if you're working on a mod make sure to let everyone in the server know - you'll want as many people to play it as possible!

I can't wait to try them all at the end of the month, see you then!!

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:
