Rev Up and Roll Out in the New ‘Trailblazer’ Update, Available Today in Lightyear Frontier

Speed across the planet, experience newfound freedom with third-person exofarmer mode, and enjoy new customization options in the latest free update.

Skövde, Sweden — 27th November: Lightyear Frontier, the intergalactic open-world farming adventure from FRAME BREAK and Amplifier Studios, is set to rev things up a gear with the free Trailblazer update, available now on PC and and Xbox Series X|S. Exofarmers can now speed across the planet as the all-new Trailblazer Mode brings faster mobility for mechs, along with a host of customisation options, quality-of-life improvements, and the highly requested addition of a third-person farmer mode.

With the new Trailblazer Mode, life on the homestead takes on a thrilling pace. Unlockable via the upgrade depot, this new ability allows players to transform into a four-wheeled mode, adding speed and ease to planetary travel. From racing through the wilderness to perfecting boosts and drifts, players can also use their paths to provide faster movement along custom-built roads.

A wealth of customisation options also arrive in the Trailblazer update, with the new Outfit Locker allowing players to put a personal touch on their intergalactic exofarmers via a selection of elegant helmet styles and colours. Day lengths have also been increased and the introduction of the Seed Splicer blueprint allows for seed splicing galore as avid exofarmers can build as many seed splicers as desired, boosting their production and increasing the chance of cultivating rare crops.

The Trailblazer update enriches every aspect of life on the frontier. Players now have the option to switch to third-person mode while exploring the world outside their mech, offering a whole new way to experience the planet and enhancing interactions in the worlds. The exploration has also been streamlined even further, giving the player the ability to instantly return home to their farm via the map once per day.

As the journey towards the 1.0 launch continues, Lightyear Frontier will continue to expand with new updates and additions. FRAME BREAK CEO, Joakim Kopriva Hedström, states: “We’re excited for players and newcomers to dive into the Trailblazer update and discover new ways to to traverse their planet and express themselves.
