Descenders Subsequent is a sequel of types to Descenders, however it’s fairly completely different. It is nonetheless about happening hills actually quick, however it’s now not about doing so on pushbikes: as a substitute we’ve got snowboards and mountainboards. I performed a bit of bit final 12 months and liked it, so I am fairly pleased to see it is simply shadowdropped on Steam after a delay from its preliminary April launch date.
Like its predecessor, Descenders Subsequent is an early entry recreation. The model you possibly can play has two sports activities—within the type of snowboarding and mountainboarding—and 4 biomes. The early entry interval will final two years, with new sports activities, biomes, multiplayer modes and modding help to be added throughout that interval, in addition to all the same old beauty stuff that is par for the course in these video games.
Studio No Extra Robots has additionally determined that at this time is Descenders Day, although because of latest reporting by PC Gamer’s Tyler Wilde I really feel it is necessary to level out that this is not an formally registered day. However, it means gamers of the unique Descenders are getting a brand new race mode, which is the form of simple real-time mode the sport has been conspicuously missing since launch. That is out there as a free replace proper now.
Oh, and Descenders Subsequent is Steam Deck verified too. I have not examined it myself, so I am undecided the way it’ll carry out, however the possibility is there.
“Descenders Subsequent has a blissed-out arcade really feel,” I wrote in my 2024 preview, “weaving between deathly timber at excessive pace on my final life earlier than the subsequent park is nail-biting, sure, however total I’m not too involved as a result of whether or not I attain the aim or not I’m loving each second.”
You may seize Descenders Subsequent on Steam proper now with a ten% launch low cost.
