Descenders throws players into the high-octane world of downhill biking, where every jump, whip and scrub will earn Rep points for you and your team - but with the risk that you might lose it all with just one badly timed landing.
A deep physics system and tight controls allow players to string together incredible trick combos, as you make your way down the mountain and attempt to reach the bottom with as few scratches as possible.
Procedurally generated worlds mean that no two runs are ever the same, with special challenge nodes to discover and nerve-racking Boss Jumps that truly sort the casuals from the pros. But linger for too long and the sun will begin to set, forcing you to ride through the night to get the job done.
Sold Out and No More Robots are thrilled to announce that extreme downhill biking game Descenders is riding onto the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system physically and digitally on August 25th. The game will also be available physically and digitally on Nintendo Switch™ later this year.
Players who pre-order Descenders on PS4 and Nintendo Switch will receive a day-one unlock for a set of rare, glow-in-the-dark customisation items for their outfit, helmet and bike: the ‘Legacy Lux Set’ on PS4, and the ‘Descent Lux Set’ on Nintendo Switch. These items can also be unlocked in the game by player progression.
“We’re so excited to finally get Descenders into the hands of PlayStation 4 gamers,” said Mike Rose, Company Director at No More Robots. “It’s been a long time coming, but we know it’s going to have been worth the wait!”
Grab your bike, pick your team, and attempt to live up to the legend of your Descender. Will you join the die-hard, trick-frenzy ranks of Team Enemy, the proficient, off-road stylings of Team Arboreal, or the high-octane, speed-is-everything Team Kinetic?
Apart from wearing your team's colors with pride, players will also receive exclusive gear from their team, and can earn special prizes if their team is top of the leaderboards at the end of each month. Meanwhile, players will be able to hang out with their team-mates in the Descenders Overworld, practicing tricks together and checking the team leaderboards, before heading out to watch each other's runs.
As you ride, whip and scrub to victory, you'll unlock Crew Members who will provide special upgrades and mutators, allowing you to hone your run to your exact specifications. With over 3.5 billion levels to explore, dozens of mutators to bag, numerous hidden nodes, and a plethora of unlockable kits, helmets, bikes and accessories, Descenders is packed with many hours of content.
