Today at its E3 press conference, Ubisoft introduced not one but two new Trials games. Trials Fusion is a sci-fi themed game in which you'll trick through a futuristic cityscape, while Trials Frontier is a game with more rustic charms. As you might expect, Fusion is for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360, while Trials Frontier is a mobile game. Both will be available in 2014.
Trials Evolution: Gold Edition isn't due until March 21, but waiting is for suckers. Ubisoft announced today that the beta has begun, and pre-ordering before March 14 will grant you access.
Trials Evolution: Gold Edition, the PC version of the Xbox Live Arcade title, is coming to the PC on March 21. The game features the Trials Evolution tracks along with the original Trials HD tracks revamped with Evolution's physics and visuals.
When the world as we know it ends on December 21, the survivors will need to find a way to live with their new cruel, hard, miserable existence. Fortunately, we already have a fine cruelty simulator in Trials Evolution, and RedLynx is releasing new DLC later this month to add a post-apocalyptic spin, named Riders of Doom.
Right alongside today's announcement of a PC Gold Edition, Trials Evolution is preparing to get more tracks and other assorted goodies. The "Origin of Pain" downloadable content pack will cost $5 (400 MSP) when it launches on Xbox Live sometime this fall.
RedLynx's last few Trials games have skipped the PC, sticking to Xbox Live Arcade, but Ubisoft announced today that they're coming with gusto in Trials Evolution: Gold Edition. We won't miss out on anything, as the Gold Edition expands Trials Evolution with all the single-player tracks and games from Trials HD. Oh, think of all the horrific accidents you'll have!
Bolstered by the popularity of its predecessor, Trials Evolution set a new 1-day sales record. But as you may have noticed if you played the game or demo, a fraction of a degree on the analog stick can be the difference between "sweet jump, bro" and a passionate embrace with pavement. It's difficult, is what we're saying. So you may have wondered, why would so many people subject themselves to this?
We're going to go out on a limb and say Trials Evolution will probably have enough challenge to keep you busy for a while. If you're some kind of Trials prodigy and run out of stages too fast, though, at least you'll have user-created stages to rely on. A new trailer highlights the feature.
You may remember about a week ago when Microsoft announced it would be raising the Gamerscore cap on Xbox Live Arcade games. The company is marking that event by promoting four high-profile Xbox Live Arcade titles, dubbing them collectively "Arcade Next."

Trials Evolution quietly slipped into 2012 late last year. Lead designer Antti Ilvessuo finally announced details about the game's launch. "Spring is almost here, and so is Trials Evolution!”
The developer promised "a more specific release date" will be provided once the game enters certification. Until then, we can get our first look at the game in motion.
Trials Evolution has slipped into next year, according to a Microsoft representative, but developer RedLynx is shying away from calling it a delay. In both cases, those in charge seem doubtful that the game will release in 2011. It was aiming for this year when the game was announced, but no official date has been given.
