📍 Event : Community Petition
On this day, the Trials Community Discord server launched, with the player named Blix, a petition addressed to Ubisoft RedLynx, urging the studio to consider developing a new game in the Trials series.
The petition highlighted:
The potential of Trials Rising as a stepping stone toward the franchise’s full potential.
The importance of speed, difficulty, and creativity as the core gameplay pillars.
The lack of a satisfying multiplayer experience and tools to foster a competitive scene.
Examples of community-driven success, such as the ZLAN 2021 Trials Rising event, which drew 225,000 peak viewers and over 65,000 track downloads, showing the franchise’s e-sport potential.
The value of Psycad, the senior development tester, as a critical community liaison.
The petition emphasized the desire to see Trials grow similarly to Trackmania, maintaining the franchise’s unique gameplay while enhancing its competitive and creative aspects.
