<p>Ubisoft&#8217;s E3 2018 press conference revealed <em>Trials Rising</em>, the latest entry in the physics-based biking franchise. Slated for a February 2019 release, it launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. With a more community-driven focus, <em>Trials Rising</em> hopes to foster the series&#8217; growth.</p>
<h3>Trials Rises Again</h3>
<p>&#8220;Trials is all about crashing and getting up in style&#8221;</p>
<p>These fine words spoken by Antti Ilvessuo echo his newest game&#8217;s vision. As Ubisoft RedLynx&#8217;s creative director, Antti made his way to the stage on a motorcycle. Shortly after stepping on-stage, he deliberately knocked over a television and stand to set the stage for <em>Trials Rising</em>&#8216;s announcement. He enthusiastically shouts &#8220;<em>Trials is back</em>! And it&#8217;s bigger than ever!&#8221;</p>
<p>The ensuing announcement trailer showcases random vistas you&#8217;ll race across before settling on the first gameplay shot. The race begins with a full eight-player track, a feature first introduced in the current gen versions of <em>Trials Fusion</em>. While it also released on Xbox 360, that version&#8217;s player limit caps out at four.</p>
<p>The rest of the trailer shows the usual assortment of <em>Trials</em> nonsense:</p>
<ul>
<li>Large gaps</li>
<li>Loops</li>
<li>Explosions</li>
<li>Front flips and backflips</li>
<li>Miraculous crashes</li>
</ul>
<h4>Community</h4>
<p>&#8220;Our community has always been a pillar of <em>Trials</em>&#8221; &#8211; Antti Ilvessuo</p>
<p>Antti reclaimed the stage to discuss <em>Trials Rising</em>&#8216;s new approach to easing lower level players into the physics-based shenanigans. He introduced Brad Hill, the &#8220;UniversityofTrials&#8221; professor. His YouTube channel, running since 2013, is dedicated to teaching players the ins and outs of <em>Trials</em> in addition to just playing the games.</p>
<p>According to Hill, &#8220;Twenty members known as the community elite have been involved in the development of this game for the past two years. Whether they were track builders, streamers, or speed-runners, each brought something special to help shape this game&#8221;. In addition to the elite&#8217;s closely-knit relationship with Ubisoft RedLynx, Brad Hill also helped develop <em>Trials Rising</em>&#8216;s tutorials.</p>
<p><em>Trials Rising</em> is set to give fans what they want. With direct community involvement, RedLynx is listening. The Trials showcase closed off with an &#8220;Epic Crashes&#8221; trailer.</p>
