• Peter Molyneux's The Trail out on Nintendo Switch - 28 February 2018

  The Trail, Peter Molyneux's chilled out hiking game, is out today on Nintendo Switch priced 11.99. The Trail first launched on mobile devices late in 2016 before a Steam via PC launch in 2017.

• Update August 22, 2017 - Bug Fixes - 22 August 2017

  Greetings Travelers, Today's update contains a few bug fixes: Fix for bug where a rabbit is not killed if it’s the last shot in the slingshot Russian localization improvements Fix for bug that would change your selected recipe after crafting it Fixed a bug that meant players could join a town despite having hit the 10 player maximum. This would result in them being unable to see their house in the town view. Players with this issue will need to move towns via the stagecoach; all affected players will receive 10,000 Chits in order to help with the move. Some flags, including Russia and the US, were not appearing in the stagecoach. Fixed an instance where Beatrice’s text is in Japanese, when the game is set to Korean. If you've run into any issues and need account help, please contact support. Thank you and safe travels!
