Daring adventurers are flocking to an abandoned planet that was once a holiday paradise. Now, harsh weather and dangerous wildlife scourge the land. But silly things like "hazards" and "unsafe terrain" just need ramps, checkpoints, and goal posts to become a bona-fide off-world rally expedition! Intrepid explorers require only courage, curiosity, and creativity to participate.

You begin your journey in a desolate canyon on a distant planet, and must scavenge for discarded vehicle parts. Build a rig and experience the sweet rush of freedom that follows the acquisition of motorized transportation.

Trailmakers is now available On Steam Early Access for $19.99 / €19.99 / £14.99. A one-week 10% launch discount takes it down to $17.99 / €17.99 / £13.49.

Trailmakers single-player Expedition Mode challenges players to start with only four wheels, a seat, a frame, an engine, and a destination on the other side of the island. Resources and new parts to play with are scattered around the world. Some hills require hefty amounts of horsepower, while other gaps and valleys can only be leapt over with rockets strapped onto the vehicle, or even flown over with helicopter blades if they can be uncovered. Expedition will later be updated so up to four friends can explore, create, and overcome obstacles together.

If imagination outgrows the amount of available resources in Expedition Mode, Sandbox Mode empowers up to four players to build to their tinkering hearts' desire. This is where Trailmakers' abundance of vehicle parts can truly shine: with no limits on what's available to players, they can build anything from walking tanks to cars able to transform into a robot or jet with one button press. Land, sea, and sky are all testing grounds for turning impossible ideas into exciting experiments.

For those who wish to build with friends, Dethrone Mode, a high-impact fusion of capture-the-flag and king-of-the-hill, will debut with Early Access. Flashbulb's "Physics-Over-Network" technology synchronizes crashes for up to four players so each participant sees the same glorious explosions. More multiplayer modes, as well as new skins and vehicle parts, are already in development and will be introduced later as comprehensive, frequent post-launch support.

"Trailmakers emphasizes fun first over everything else," said Mikkel Thorsted, creative director, Flashbulb Games. "We want everyone to feel as free as their untamed imaginations allow, and we can't wait to see the vehicles our players will dream up throughout Early Access."

More intrepid explorers can join the fun later this year when Trailmakers comes to the Xbox One Preview Program.

Starting with just the basics for making a vehicle -- a frame, wheels, a seat, and an engine -- players are given the tools and an intuitive interface to build their very first car. The only limit is a finite amount of resources that can only be bolstered through exploration. Roadblocks occur naturally in this world. The next checkpoint might be atop a steep hill, or across a large jump. Maybe it's time to strap six different engines on to the body of the vehicle? Or maybe the solution is adding wings?

There's never only one way to solve a problem. With more than 40 vehicle parts, including helicopter blades and suspension for off-roading, if players can dream it, they can build it.  A transformer part even enables vehicles to convert into other forms. Vehicle blueprints can be drafted and shared with friends, and Trailmakers is built to support player-made content at full release. Early Access is just the beginning -- new skins, vehicle parts, and multiplayer modes are already in the pipeline and will continue to debut as robust, frequent post-launch support.

The world in Trailmakers is an inherently dangerous place. To proceed in the expedition you need to continuously adjust your vehicle to overcome obstacles and conquer the environment. Play alone and see how far you can get, or join your friends for a fun co-op quest. In Trailmakers, the adventure is in the making.
