Hey everyone! The next Descenders is coming to Steam in less than 2 weeks (note that the next Xbox update will be next month, and encompass two PC updates in one). Here are some of the features you can expect:

Teams Rework

Up to now, the team you pick doesn't make a great deal of difference to how you play the game. With the next update, there will be daily objectives to complete that will be team-specific, and will earn you additional Rep and special team gear.

New Secret Level

By now you've probably found the Construction Yard in Highlands. With the next update, there will also be a brand new, secret level to find hidden somewhere else. What will it be? Where will it be? You'll have to wait for the update to find out, but all we'll say for now is -- it's quite different to anything you've played in Descenders before...

Daily Challenge

The next update will finally introduce the Daily Challenge to Descenders. Every day, every player will be given the same set of levels, and you'll have just one run to get the biggest Session Rep score that you can. There will be daily leaderboards for every Daily Challenge, so you can track how well you're doing each day compared to everyone else.

Session Markers in Freeride Mode

You asked for Session Markers in Freeride Mode, so here they come. You'll be able to plop down a marker on a level, and then restart from that position whenever you like.

Bonus Objectives Rework

Right now, you are told your Bonus Objective on the world map, and have to pick a level that matches what you are required to do. However, we've found this sytem is a little confusing, especially for new players. With the new update, the Bonus Objective will be automatically generated based on the level you pick, and will always be completable. This update is coming in the next couple of weeks -- we'll let you know when!
