Flashbulb Games is comprised of open-world sandbox design veterans from Press Play, CCP Games, and IO Interactive, building on their experience and rooting Trailmakers in player creativity. Pioneers expands on Trailmakers’ foundation with a story-based campaign, survival gameplay, and an intuitive block-crafting system. Players explore a vast open world, scavenging for parts by engineering custom land, sea, and air vehicles.

Trailmakers: Pioneers Key Features:

  • Campaign Mode: On Planet Gregory, craft blocks and build vehicles to protect the Froggit inhabitants from the evil BOTNAK robots, complete missions, and upgrade settlements.
  • Physics-Driven Construction: Build everything from simple survival vehicles to massive, technical machinery with a system that reacts to weight, environments, and terrain. Go all out with designs or optimize for efficiency.
  • Survival Mode: Build custom vehicles and navigate harsh environments while fending off threats in an exciting, survival-like adventure.
  • A World to Explore: The Pioneers map expands across 7×7 km, offering vast landscapes for daring explorers, ambitious builders, and high-speed driving, sailing and flying.
  • More Blocks & Builder Upgrades: A revamped builder UI streamlines creation, while new blocks and weapons let players craft advanced vehicles.

“Our players have shaped Trailmakers since its release in 2018, constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity and making vehicles that amaze us at every turn. Pioneers expands the breadth of possibilities, deepens exploration, and challenges players to build and survive like never before,” said Flashbulb Games Co-Founder Ole Teglbjærg. “Pioneers is a major step forward, but the future of Trailmakers is even brighter. Player creativity has always been at the heart of our game, and their feedback continues to shape what’s next.”

Trailmakers launched in 2018, introducing the world to its sandbox, intuitive vehicle building tools, and creative combat. Since release, Trailmakers has had more than five million players dive into its open world across all major platforms.
