Trailblazers is a racing video game developed by British studio Supergonk and published by Rising Star Games for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in May 2018.

Gameplay

Trailblazers is a high-speed racing game that has been compared to games like Wipeout, F-Zero, and Splatoon.[1][2] Players control one of eight different racers, with each racer's vehicle capable of painting their team's colour on the track, create boost pads for the team.[3] Teams in each race can have up to three racers each.[4]

Development

Trailblazers was developed by Supergonk, a studio consisting of developers who had previously worked at studios like Codemasters, Bizarre Creations, and Lionhead Studios.[1]

In May 2018, a trailer was released for the game to celebrate the launch of the game.[5]

Reception

In a hands-on preview in March 2018, Blake Morse of Shack News praised the visuals, comparing the graphics to Borderlands.[6]

The Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions of Trailblazers received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[7][8][9] Martin Robinson of Eurogamer criticized the game for its poor "energy".[2]
