Hi everyone!

We've just dropped a HUGE Descenders Next update which is going to completely change the way you hit those slopes and hills - the CREW DECK UPDATE IS HERE!

With the Crew Deck, you'll have a bunch of cards at your disposal to give you that extra competitive edge when you're out there riding the slopes. Each card will grant a unique benefit, either to you or the environment, and you'll get the choice of picking what suits your playstyle best.

Descenders Next

When on a run, you'll see your progress to the next crew card. This progress is based on the amount of REP you earn. The more REP you earn, the faster you'll progress to the next card! When you've finished a node with enough REP, you'll be able to pick the card you want to use, or level up ones you already have!

You'll also be able to see all of the crew cards you have available at your disposal in the Crew Deck menu, all with their different rarities. There are multiple to collect, and you'll need to complete their unique objectives to unlock them. So what are you waiting for? Get out there, you've got some crew cards to add to your collection!

We also thought to ourselves, why don't we round off bailing and put some more finishing touches on it? So now, your board will detach every time you have a BIG bail!

We've also got some other small changes in this update too, we've got the full list for you here:

Major Features:

Crew Deck

Added:

New races in Coniferous Forest and Forgotten Temple, new slopestyle in Coniferous Forest
Bird Flocks on Start, Finish and Checkpoints
Bail tutorial when bailing for first time
Big Bail makes board detach from player
Changed acceleration animations for uphill/downhill riding

Fixed:

Medal and Trophy achievements not always triggering on getting a Medal or Trophy
Team objectives not triggering in Grand Tour
Optimizations to gear loading in Customization and In-game

We hope you have a great time with the new Crew Deck! We have so much more planned for Descenders Next and we can assure you the next update will be FIRE. Thank you so much for the endless support - we'll see you out on the slopes!
