Wait! Why Didn't You Tell Us They're Making Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders?

We’ve got a bone to pick with you: it appears that Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders was announced – and none of you told us! We were obviously big fans of the original Lonely Mountains: Downhill, the cycling game which came out of nowhere and took us by surprise. This sequel looks quite a lot less lonely, as it’s got an online multiplayer mode that will see you skiing alongside others, but it’s still got that blissful, almost ASMR-esque vibe.

In the IGN gameplay video embedded above, the developer explains how it spent a lot of time simply perfecting the controls. While we’d need to go hands on to be certain, it does look very satisfying to cut through the snow.

The game isn’t technically announced for the PS5 yet, which is perhaps why it hasn’t been on our radar at all this week. But considering the original title was eventually ported to everything, we’d be shocked if PlayStation didn’t get a version eventually. And we’ll be first in line when it does ultimately release.
