Hi everyone!
We've just dropped a HUGE Descenders Next update which is going to completely change the way you hit those slopes and hills - the CREW DECK UPDATE IS HERE!
With the Crew Deck, you'll have a bunch of cards at your disposal to give you that extra competitive edge when you're out there riding the slopes. Each card will grant a unique benefit, either to you or the environment, and you'll get the choice of picking what suits your playstyle best. If you've played Descenders, you'll notice some familiar ones, but we've added a lot of unique cards as well!
Don't forget, you can grab Descenders Next for 30% OFF in the Steam Summer Sale!
When on a run, you'll see your progress to the next crew card. This progress is based on the amount of REP you earn. The more REP you earn, the faster you'll progress to the next card! When you've finished a node with enough REP, you'll be able to pick the card you want to use, or level up ones you already have!
You'll also be able to see all of the crew cards you have available at your disposal in the Crew Deck menu, all with their different rarities. There are multiple to collect, and you'll need to complete their unique objectives to unlock them. So what are you waiting for? Get out there, you've got some crew cards to add to your collection!
We've also added a new race in both Coniferous Forest and Forgotten Temple, with Coniferous Forest also getting a new slopestyle trail. You've got some new fresh new ground to grind REP on!
We also thought to ourselves, why don't we round off bailing and put some more finishing touches on it? So now, your board will detach every time you have a BIG bail!
We've also got some other small changes in this update too, we've got the full list for you here:
Major Features:
Crew Deck
Added:
New races in Coniferous Forest and Forgotten Temple, new slopestyle in Coniferous Forest
Bird Flocks on Start, Finish and Checkpoints

Fixed:

We hope you have a great time with the new Crew Deck! We have so much more planned for Descenders Next and we can assure you the next update will be FIRE. Thank you so much for the endless support - we'll see you out on the slopes!
