Trackmania Royal mode would like some of that Fall Guys actionAnd it’s out now
And it’s out now
The moreTrackmaniagames are released, the more I forget that Trackmania exists. I had even forgotten that the most recently was called, simply,Trackmania.Perhaps my increasing apathy is what prompted the creation of Trackmania Royal mode, which adds spinning pads on plastic platforms which knock you into water, and which looks a lot likeFall Guys.Here’s the trailer from tonight’sUbisoft Forwardpre-show:Trackmania Royal TrailerWatch on YouTubeAs a set of additions to the game, I’m into it. Royal mode is designed for team play, where the last team standing is the winner. It adds bouncy water, plastic blocks, animated items (which I’m surprised to realise it didn’t have already), and a summery theme of track parts to build with.Individually, great. As a combination, yeah, it seems a lot like Fall Guys when you see cars edging their way around spinning wheels. I don’t really begrudge that, either: Trackmania has always been great, and ultimately a physics game about getting to the end of an obstacle course, and I welcome whatever brings it greater success.Trackmania Royal is available to play now via the free Trackmania Starter Access, and Trackmania itself is availablefrom Uplay.E3 2021 may be over but our memories live on - see everything on ourE3 hub. Many more big game showcases and streams are still to come this summer, leading up to Gamescom, so see oursummer games stream scheduleto stay up to date.
