The adrenaline-fueled sequel Descenders Next has made a surprise early access launch, dropping onto Steam, Xbox, and Game Pass without warning. Developer RageSquid has finally unleashed its ambitious follow-up to the hit downhill biking game, delivering an expanded extreme sports experience packed with fresh thrills.
Originally slated for an April release, Descenders Next faced a quiet delay before resurfacing with an immediate launch. Players can now dive into the action, choosing between snowboarding and mountainboarding across four expansive biomes. Each environment is loaded with parks, trails, and opportunities to pull off jaw-dropping tricks while earning reputation points. The game also introduces replay saves, three unique teams, and extensive gear customization to personalize the ride.
RageSquid envisions a two-year early access period, with plans to introduce additional biomes, extreme sports, multiplayer modes, and modding support. The studio hasn’t ruled out post-launch updates either, ensuring long-term content drops if the community response stays strong.
Priced at £24.99 on Steam and Xbox Series X/S (with a 10% discount on Steam until August 4th), the game won’t see a price hike after early access. For those new to the franchise, the original Descenders is currently available at a steep 75% discount on Steam, making it the perfect time to experience the roots of this high-speed series.
Whether carving through powder or shredding rugged trails, Descenders Next promises an evolving playground for extreme sports fans, no waiting required.
