Megagon Industries is proud to announce the official release date for the sequel to their hit skiing single-player experience Lonely Mountains: Downhill. The original title received acclaim with a 90% positive review score across over 2,000 ratings, just narrowly missing the mark for the prestigious Overwhelmingly Positive tag.

The sequel, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders has officially received a release date trailer, and in it, we get a look at some of the unique changes coming to the game and the announcement for a new platform. It’s a short, one-minute video that showcases the skiing gameplay that made the first so famous among the skiing genre niche.

The trailer gives us a look at some of the major changes coming to it. Some of the key features to look out for in this sequel include:

• Gorgeous graphics mixing snowy mountains with polygonal characters for a signature game look
• All-new multiplatform crossplay with up to eight players either cooperatively or competitively
• Customisation elements with equipment, outfits, and tricks to unlock for personal identity
• Relaxing, “podcast”-game gameplay perfect for multitasking
• Challenging modes for daredevil tricks and speedrunning-focused elements with global leaderboards

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders gives players the opportunity to enjoy the game the way they want to. Either engage in hardcore skiing as you try to become the best in the leaderboards and climb with each second shaved off your latest run or relax and enjoy the scenery and landscape. Play solo or with up to seven other players and enjoy a relaxing experience where you can both enjoy your way down the mountain or compete in a race to the base!

Furthermore, this latest trailer revealed that it’s coming to Xbox and Xbox Game Pass on day-one — pick it up on Microsoft’s console or enjoy it on Windows PC via Steam!
