Snowboarding sequel SSX: Deadly Descents apparently won’t be bombing down the slopes anytime soon, with the latest issue of OXM confirming the game’s still got a fair chunk of development time ahead of it.
That’s according to creative director Todd Batty, who told the magazine (as spotted by Game-n-Trains) that the development team will still be hammering away at the title for another 15 months or so.
As such, this puts Deadly Descents out around late 2012/ early 2013. The game was first unveiled at the Spike Video Game Awards back in December 2010. In addition to the above, the publication also turned up a few fresh tidbits, as detailed below.
-The campaign mode will have players darting through nine Deadly Descents, in addition to Explore and Live Events. Apparently, you’ll be part of the SSX Corporation.
-As well as Elise, former SSX star Zoe Briggs will also be making a comeback alongside one other, as-of-yet unannounced character.
-An estimated 200-300 tracks and paths will be featured over the nine peaks. Gamers can pick which track they want to race and pinpoint where the chopper will drop them off.
-Tricks have been mapped to two controller inputs, rather than the entire pad.
-Lastly, Batty commented that the multiplier scoring feature will pop up again, albeit minus the colourful snowflakes from past iterations.
