You've been waiting, and your wait is nearly over.

Yesterday we dropped the release date that our PC gaming fans have been demanding (even before Trials Evolution: Gold Edition was announced) and it's time to give you guys some of the meat from what Trials Evolution: Gold Edition is set to offer!

Global Leaderboards: claim victory in the world of Trials PC gaming, but only if you have the skill to withstand the pressure of thousands of riders breathing down your neck while they pursue their own glory.

Local and Online Trials MP: face off against the guy sitting beside you, or against a fellow Trials Fan half a world away. Put your skills to the test and be the first one to cross that finish line.

Access to the Trials Evolution Editor: Use the same tools that were used to create every track and skill game in Trials Evolution: Gold Edition. Build your creations and turn them loose upon the world, things that others can't even imagine.

Two Games in One: Race through the Trials HD Warehouse and Trials Evolution's full world on over 120 activities from both Trials HD and Trials Evolution

Trials Evolution: Gold Edition, Trials is coming home.

What else? You guys have pushed the Trials series past 4 MILLION units! 4 million people have picked up a Trials title. That's a ton of Trials players, and I would like to thank each and every one of you, but I would lose my voice long before I got past the first ten-thousand or so, so from everyone at RedLynx, to all of the bike riding fans out there:

Thanks for making Trials a success, thanks for your feedback, and thanks for being the best fans anyone could ever hope for.

Until next time, we'll be seeing you on the Leader Boards.

Ubisoft has teamed up with Lenovo to pack the upcoming IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC with quite a bit of gaming goodness.

SPOnG has dropped a new interview with our very own Antti Ilvessuo (buy an Avatar Prop!), where they talk about tablets, DNA, and flinging bears out of trebuchets.

I'm not even joking.

"As 2013 comes into sharp focus, SPOnG turns to the real video games experts: the people who actually make games. We have posed the same five key questions to some of the most interesting and insightful publishing and development figures in the global games industry. We got their unedited, open and highly informed opinions and we are publishing them in multi-part series of insights." - SPOnG

"It’s like, what if you were the best guy in the world at putting pigeons in glass bottles as a work of art? Now that art form has vanished, and you have to learn how to shoot dancing bears out of trebuchets through a hoop of flaming potatoes. Maybe your knowledge of pigeon-flapping can help you calculate bear trajectories, maybe not." - Antti Ilvessuo

Alright, guys. There's a ton of AWESOME news for this post. From Publisher of the year to Racing Game of the Year, so let's just dive in!

EDGE Awards: 

Studio of the Year

#3. Red Lynx

 "Despite being acquired by Ubisoft last year, RedLynx shows no sign of losing its character. Smartly focused design, technical mastery and a wicked sense of humour unite the hardcore petrol fumes and ragdoll torture of Trials Evolution with the cute iOS stylings of MotoHeroz and Nutty Fluffies (we’ll even forgive RedLynx for that name)."

Publisher of the Year

#1 - Ubisoft

"The publisher that stole E3 with a surprise peek at what could be the next generation via Watch Dogs had a superlative year. It spanned from the enormity of Assassin’s Creed III through to the small-screen Rayman Jungle Run. Trials Evolution dominated XBLA, while Far Cry 3 looks set to rule Christmas; it made forays into free-to-play with Ghost Recon Online, musicianship with Rocksmith, and ZombiU was the most promising thirdparty game for Wii U’s launch. In 2012, Ubisoft’s breadth has been second to none."

Best Game

#4 - Trials Evolution

"Having already refined one of gaming’s finest vehicle handling models in Trials HD, RedLynx looked beyond the grimy warehouse windows to a world full of exquisitely crafted tracks, a raft of multiplayer modes and a level editor so flexible that you can almost forgive Evolution for its poorer minigame selection. The result? An XBLA game that breaks records."

#10 - Far Cry 3

"The jungle playground Ubisoft Montreal has created for its open-world opus is like a Bond she-villain: gorgeous, enticing, but potentially very bad for your health. Depraved gun-toting pirates, wild animals with sharp claws and teeth – there are plenty of ways this island can kill you. But it’s hard not to be taken in by a game with such a fertile possibility space."

IGN Awards:

Xbox 360 Racing Game of the Year

#1. Trials Evolution

"Does a racing game need other vehicles in it to be considered a racing game? In Trials' case, no. Even though Evolution's challenges are mostly physics- and obstacle-based, you're racing against both the clock and your own nerves in order to post the purest runs with the fastest times."

To say that we are happy about these awards would be an understatement. They're due, in no small part, to the amazing groups we have both in our studios working on these titles, and in our communities.

Thank you guys for helping to make 2012 another great year for RedLynx!
