Steep goes for the gold this December
Ubisoft has today announced that Steep: Road to the Olympics will be releasing for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on December 5th. Check out the latest trailer of the game below.
In Steep: Road to the Olympics story mode, players will experience the journey of a young athlete training in three freestyle events (Big Air, Half Pipe and Slopestyle) to reach the Olympic Winter Games and be the first athlete ever to win gold in 3 freestyle disciplines. The competition takes place in the unique South Korean mountains, where the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 are being held this coming February. Players will also be able to explore the mountains of Japan, carving through unique powder and exceptional environments.
Those who already own the base game, will be able to buy the expansion and add to the game, if you are someone like myself who did not buy the game last year, when the expansion is released a full retail copy will be sold, which includes both the base game and the Road to the Olympics and wrapped up as the Steep: Winter Games Gold Edition.
Before each challenge, players will be treated to training tips and insights from Olympians on the variety of Steep: Road to the Olympics events, track designs and the competition itself.
