    And Somewhere

    Deep inside the trials HD warehouse and the plains of trials evolution...

    murdoc loch, themovement81, skumbag, redrider686, red bomber, slinky, Lestropie and every one of the old school trials artists died a little inside

    I invite you to read the threads in the news forum where we answered and said there is also ton of content in the DLC for the core community

    And if you're a fan, you probably know Anba and know the fire breathing unicorn comes probably from his insane brain ;-)

    Oh I am a fan! Trials HD changed my life and introduced me to an outstanding community!

    but really a fire breathing unicorn seems like it comes from Ubisoft, not Anba

    I think he would have rather made some kind of wrestling squirrel that would breathe tacos or something, but I bet the suits at Ubisoft said no to that and countered that their advertising initiatives have indicated the 8-20yr old demographic prefer unicorns over squirrels.

    why wasn't it a Lynx? Is that too obvious a choice?

    and please tell me there wont be leg glitches like there have been tire glitches!!

    haha that seems funny if people were coming on here and complaining about the unicorns legs digging in and hurting their runs!

    Hello,

    I can confirm that everything we do for Trials Fusion comes from the team/Anba and there is no "suits at Ubisoft" who are going against what we want to do. We actually get great support.

    Why wasn't it a Lynx? Or a squirrel? Because the team was inspired by the unicorn and the cat

    About glitches, the unicorn works on the same model as the bikes, so it will be the same behavior.
    We don't expect the speed runners and the core community to be much into the "Awesome Adventure" (unicorn and cat thing), that's why there is also an event with 20+ traditional tracks ("RedLynx vs All Stars"). That way, everyone gets something he loves

    Cheers,

    Not gonna lie that was a pretty good trailer, actually makes me want the DLC. Even though I know im probably going to hate the unicorn and all the microtransactions. Hats off to the marketing team.

    Also it was clearly based on this image from 2012, hopefully they compensated the original artist.

    Does it mean "Awesome Adventure" tracks won't count for global leaderboard? Like skill games?

    @p_a_d: The Trials tracks from the the Awesome Adventure count for global leaderboards. The FMX track doesn't. It's the same as for the rest of the game.

    We've mentioned in our social channels the original artist Jason Heuser and we've also linked to his page where you can buy his stuff related to his "Welcome to the internet" page and The Awesome Adventure is clearly inspired by that picture! We love it!

    Fun Fact about ANBA: This is the man who at the PAX East Track Jam seriously tried to tell builders that they had to make a Nuclear Powered Cat-Robot-dinosaur with big air in space.

    I may not be IN the studio, but I can absolutely see the rubber duck decapitating, self-on-fire-setting, bungie jumping while playing Frontier, burnout on the couch with a mini-bike, Tank-riding-through-explosions Mr Ilvessuo seeing that image, printing it out and taking it to the Game Designers and saying "We put this in Fusion now. Go."

    100% no doubt in my mind that he would say that.

    That's pretty much the gist. But we owe it to the man who started all this craziness 15 years ago and reached this level.
