We’ve been working with our friends at IGC (In Game Collectables) to integrate the ability to order your very own customised monster as a high-quality 3D Resin printed model. When you are in the Monster Customiser you’ll be able to select ‘Get This Monster Model’ to place an order. Customise your monster and use the special introductory price to get your monster shipped straight to your door. We have several of these in the office and they are very cool!

Game controllers are now fully supported throughout the game menus and wider user interface where previously they were only available during the race.

We’ve updated the way Custom races are hosted in Party Mode. These are now all hosted on our dedicated servers providing much improved consistency of play and ping times. Enjoy!

Happy trails!

Speed past farm houses and windmills on this new point-to-point, sprint track featuring multiple side roads and mud hazards.

We’ve added a new way to top up your Nitro bar. Now whenever you successfully use an ability you’ll recharge some of your Nitro bar, so you can maintain your top speed for longer. On top of that you’ll be awarded even more Nitro when you successfully use abilities like EMP and Smoke to hit multiple opponents – the more opponents you hit, the more Nitro you’ll get! We think this adds a whole new strategic element to the game which we hope you’ll love experimenting with as you come up with new strategies to get the upper hand.

Out with the old and in with the new! We’ve refreshed the lineup of core boosters that all monsters have access to, including removing some of the less-effective, under-utilised boosters and adding four new boosters that give you more defensive options. Choose from three new ability-counter boosters to protect you from EMP, Shockwave or Smoke, or equip the new 4WD booster that lets you speed through mud hazards without a care in the world.

After a bit more variety in your races? Cups are a new type match where you race on a different track each time. In this release we’re introducing three Cups: Dusty Cup, Timberland Cup and Big Air Cup. Try out the new Cups when you Play Online or in Party and Practice modes.

Also in this release:

• New junction warning message to help you know when a side road is coming up.
  
• Buttons and text have been enlarged in preparation for a future release on mobile. There’s no ETA on that yet, but it’s coming!
  
• Various performance improvements and bug fixes.

Happy racing!

Also in this release:

• Many players have mentioned they enjoy the carnage in MRL but find it just a bit too chaotic. To help with this we’ve changed the max number of players in a race to eight, which in our playtesting helped a lot. We’d love to hear how you find this change.
  
• Added the ability to change monsters between races
  
• Mines now have a red glow coming out of them, to make them easier to see
  
• Cars are now better at staying aligned with the track when taking jumps
  
• UX improvements to the monster customisation screen
  
• Improved support for non-English player names on leaderboards

Oh and one more thing… watch out for a new track coming your way soon!

Changes in this update:

• Removed compulsory dead-end turn in the middle of Canyon Run.
  
• Input: enabled Nitro using the right mouse button.
  
• Fixed launch and game save issues with player names containing whitespace.

Alrighty then, sounds like it's time to get your No-Dead-End party on!

Other changes in this release:

• New Skull Island leaderboard. Can you top the charts?
  
• New in-race messages for when you hit multiple opponents with an ability.

• Improvements to Party mode.
  
• Performance optimisations and bug fixes.

Arrr, see you on the race track me maties!
