Evaluation

Trailmakers launched out of Early Access on September 18, 2019, and has received consistent major content updates ever since. The developer, Flashbulb, has shipped a steady stream of expansions and free updates: High Seas (December 2021), Airborne (April 2023), Space Voyager Pack (October 2023), PvP Part 2 with Packing Heat and Supply Pack: Frontline (June 2025), Frozen Tracks with the 2.2 update (November 2025), Mech Amok with the 2.3 update (March 2026), and the free 2.4 update (June 2026). This represents a sustained pattern of multiple major releases per year across several years. The previous assessment flagged version 2.4 as upcoming content — that update has now shipped on June 18, 2026, delivering 20 new blocks, a new Time Trials game mode, controller improvements, and various fixes. A hotfix followed on June 19, 2026. No new specific content has been announced yet, but given that Flashbulb has consistently shipped new updates every few months, the current silence since June 2026 is well within the developer's normal rhythm. The developer has also been transparent that DLC purchases fund ongoing development, reinforcing their intent to keep supporting the game. No statement of completion or end of development has been made.

About this game

BUILD EVERYTHING

The intricate yet intuitive building mechanic allows you to either choose pre-made vehicles from the game and the community workshop or build your own vehicles completely from scratch using hundreds of blocks that affect both aerodynamics, functionality, speed, combat ability, and much more in a world ruled by reliable physics.

Customize your character and block designs with a heap of different skins, colors, and pattern combinations to create your own personal brand.

The builder is made to be as accessible and intuitive as possible for players who are new to building games while also equipped with features for the more hardcore segment of engineers: Easy to learn, hard to master!

COMBAT

Trailmakers offers an arsenal of 14 different weapons like minigun, EMPs, laser blasters, rocket launchers and shotguns to name a few. Set up a server with your friends or join one of the hundreds of public games to test them out in different PvP scenarios. Fight in the air, ocean, ground, or in space. Your choice of mayhem is entirely up to you.

MULTIPLAYER

All game modes in Trailmakers, including the main story, allow Multiplayer for 2-8 people.

Jump into one of the five dedicated sandbox maps, hang out and build together, test each other's vehicles, or share and be inspired from thousands of incredible community made workshop builds.

Controlled chaos, land, sea, air, and space combat awaits you and your friends - or jump into Race Island where 14 different tracks are ready for you to put your name on the leaderboards.

This is the ultimate do-whatever-your-heart-desires game.

CAMPAIGN

In the main game mode, “Pioneers” you will dive head-first into a breathtaking open world with loveable NPCs, challenging enemies, and an adventurous story. Unlock new parts as you complete missions and build different vehicles for the different biomes and terrains - play the campaign alone or multiplayer.

You will join the Trailmakers: An elite society of engineers and are sent out to help the population of Gregory - a community of peaceful frogs who have been invaded by the evil BOTNAKs who are ruthlessly mining the planet and stealing its resources.
