Ubisoft\u2019s Trials franchise has built a legion of dedicated fans who come for the best physics-based motorcycling in the business and stay for the grueling challenge of inching past pals on the game\u2019s online leaderboards.\u00a0 All of that excruciating goodness is intact in Rising<\/em>, but developer RedLynx has gone the extra mile by enhancing their latest bike with several new upgrades. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and check out what the next entry in the world\u2019s most explosive racing series has in store.<\/p>\n

Unreal Tracks, Real Locations<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the core game mechanics are largely unchanged \u2013 you still gas, brake, and lean back and forth to fling your bike over gaps and nudge it up steep inclines \u2013 the tracks in Trials Rising<\/em> are somehow bigger and badder than ever. Rising<\/em>\u2019s single-player campaign takes players to a slew of insane, over-the-top-tracks based on famous real-world locations like Mount Everest, Yellowstone National Park, and the Pyramids of Giza. Bunny hop up an in-construction Eiffel Tower, if you dare, though our current fave is the \u201cMile High\u201d track. Featuring ridiculously slick sequences yanked straight out of a \u201cMission: Impossible\u201d film, this one sees you escaping from a cargo plane while it plummets to the ground. Yeah.<\/p>\n

A Word from Your Sponsors<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be sure, simply reaching the end of each devious track is its own victory. But to add incentive and increase the challenge, various sponsors will offer optional contracts. These may include simple requests, like getting a Bronze medal, to more hardcore challenges, like passing a particularly rough level without restarting at a checkpoint. If reaching the top of an Egyptian pyramid isn\u2019t daunting enough, try doing it while landing six front flips.<\/p>\n

Gear Up, Gear Out<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cash isn\u2019t just a point total. Rising<\/em> goes much bigger with its customization suite, letting players earn and equip a wealth of cosmetic items, including helmets, shirts, pants, boots, and jackets. Players can also choose a gender, tinker with bike skins, and tweak various animations, though for serious design types, the real treat is sharing creations with other players via a new \u201cGear Central\u201d online hub. Dig a design? Download it and make it your own. That goes for tracks, too, as the franchise\u2019s potent track editor will make a return.<\/p>\n

Challenge the World<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to local and online multiplayer races, Rising ups the ante with a new Challenger Mode that expands the game\u2019s famed asynchronous multiplayer. Instead of just taking down your leaderboard buddies, you\u2019ll now get automatically matched up against random, similarly-skilled players from around the world and nab cool rewards for beating a few in a row. Likewise, other random players may wind up racing against your own ghost data. Set sweet times to haunt the world.<\/p>\n

Tandem Tomfoolery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are two heads really better than one? You can test this theory on Trial Rising\u2019s diabolically fun tandem bike. Two local players can hop on this motorcycle monstrosity and attempt to co-operatively steer it through any track. Communication is key, as the players share control over the bike. Gassing, braking, and leaning must be done in tandem or the bike may not respond. Sounds extra tough for newbies, but it\u2019s rip-roaringly fun for vets.<\/p>\n

Trials Rising<\/em> crashes into the Xbox One in February 2019, but those itching for an early whiff of its gasoline-fueled insanity can sign up for the free beta<\/a>, which kicks off September 13.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
