Descenders, the procedurally-generated downhill biking game from RageSquid, will receive a new update on August 7. Players who download the Ring of Fire Update on the PC or Xbox One will receive access to a brand new world known as “Volcano,” which is based on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Here’s what the developer had to say about the Ring of Fire Update on their Steam Community page:
With this new update comes a brand new world. Volcano is the fifth Descenders world, and it’s, well… it’s a bit tricky. Volcano drops the “stunts” parameter, and instead introduces “tectonics”, making for a rather bumpy ride. Oh, and there’s lava everywhere, in case you hadn’t guessed.
The Volcano world is based around the Pacific Ring of Fire area, where earthquakes and volcanic activity are prevalent — but the Ring of Fire name also doubles up as a hint about how to reach Volcano.
See, you can’t just enter Volcano by beating Peaks. There are special requirements to complete during a run, and if those requirements are met, Volcano will open up to you.
In addition to a new world, the Ring of Fire Update will also include “brand new bonus levels, new Freeride options, and new bikes and kits to unlock.”
