DARKFEST Update 13.1.0

MAVRIX Update – RIDE THE LEGENDARY DARKFEST TRAIL, and more....

Steam post imageHey MAVRIX crew! This update is a massive moment for MAVRIX. For the first time ever, we’re bringing a real-world MTB event into the game with the arrival of Darkfest - one of the most legendary freeride events on the planet that is happening right now IRL! We’ve built an entirely new mountain just for this. We’ve got a NEW TECH CHALLENGE for you too! Complete Slim Jim to unlock fast travel straight to Helfare Hotrod, but be warned…it’s called Slim Jim for a reason, so thread the line cleanly. As ever, we’ve got a bunch of bug fixes going in thanks to your feedback. More detail on everything below.

Get out there and send it… if you dare.

Steam post image NEW – Darkfest Trail The legendary Darkfest event has landed in MAVRIX. Known for its huge jumps, insane airtime, and next-level freeride lines, Darkfest is an IRL event hosted over in South Africa that pushes riders to their absolute limits. Unlocking in-game as real-world pro riders test what’s possible on two-wheels in the 10th anniversary of the now-legendary event, the Darkfest trail is now yours to ride. It’s our first ever IRL track in-game and we are STOKED. To bring this trail to life we’ve added:

• A brand new mountain behind the Helfarm

• A dedicated chairlift to take riders to the top

• A Slopestyle event built around the trail’s massive features

Let’s see how many of you can handle one of the most iconic freeride setups ever built. Steam post image NEW – Slim Jim Tech Challenge Now introducing Slim Jim: a brand-new Tech Challenge that is all about testing your technical precision and putting your bike handling skills to the test. If (and that’s a big if!) you can make it to the end of the challenge, you’ll unlockfast-travel access to Helfare Hotrod, making it much easier to drop straight into one of our most popular race trails.
