While it is the sort of game you would have expected to have featured online multiplayer support at launch, Ubisoft have only today announced that a free update has brought online functionality to Trials Fusion. Players can now face off against four to eight opponents in three multiplayer modes:
- Online X-Supercross mode: up to eight players compete on three random tracks, with one winner selected based on the highest score.
- Private Game mode: up to eight players pick which track they want to race on and can customise the race’s parameters with options including track gravity, bike’s speed and bike control.
- Private Game with Spectator: Players looking to watch online multiplayer can select the track and parameters for the race and invite eight other players to ride so they can watch the race. These matches can also be broadcasted using streaming platforms.
This update is set to correlate with Ubisoft’s fourth and supposedly largest downloadable content pack dubbed “Fire in Deep”, which will be available from January 27th 2015. Coming it at $5.95, this pack contains 11 new tracks, five new achievements/trophies, 27 new track challenges and a several dozen new editor objects.
