Trailmakers: Pioneers revamps core experience with March launch

Trailmakers: Pioneers

Indie developer Flashbulb has announced Trailmakers: Pioneers, a massively revamped version of their vehicular sci-fi sandbox game.

The big and new 2.0 launch is set to launch on March 6th at no additional cost for owners of the original game across PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. The game is also on Xbox Game Pass.

“With Pioneers, we’re taking Trailmakers to the next level as a complete reinvention that deepens gameplay, expands creative possibilities, and welcomes a new generation of players,” said Flashbulb Games Co-Founder, Ole Teglbjærg in a press release. “Trailmakers has always been part of Flashbulb’s DNA since our studio’s founding and Pioneers is our biggest content launch as a studio to date. But this isn’t the end for Trailmakers; we’ve got more content in the works that will continue to expand the limitless potential of creative freedom in our sandbox.”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Trailmakers: Pioneers redefines the Trailmakers experience with a new campaign mode, survival gameplay, and an intuitive block crafting system. Players scavenge for build parts, create custom land, sea, or air vehicles, and defend against threats in one of four vast open-world maps. Whether playing solo or teaming up with up to eight players in a personal server, Trailmakers: Pioneers is the ultimate playground for racing, combat, and building without limits.

Key Features:

  • Physics-Driven Construction: Build simple survival vehicles to massive, technical machinery with a system that reacts to weight, environments, and terrain. Go all out with designs or optimize for efficiency.
  • Campaign and Survival Mode: Upgrade and progress by finding different blocks for different vehicles, gather resources and fight against the evil BOTNAK corporation.
  • Mega Expeditions: The Pioneers map expands across a 10km x 10km plane, offering vast landscapes for daring explorers, ambitious builders, and high-speed racers.
  • Trailmakers has been a hit since its original debut in 2018 and has seen consistent growth. Some notable milestones since its original launch include:
  • Over 5 million players across all platforms have used the builder tools, uncovered functional and mechanical blocks, and made vehicles that flex their imaginations.
  • More than 1.8 billion minutes played on PC; that’s enough time to make 417,000 round trips to the Moon when you consider the Apollo missions took about three days to get there!
  • 550,000+ player-made creations on Steam Workshop, empowering enterprising Trailmakers to share their blueprints and challenge each other’s building skills.
