To end the month of March and start off April, Trackmania‘s Spring 2022 campaign was released on Friday (1st April 2022) with a ton of updates that dropped on both Thursday and Friday. The Spring 2022 campaign is the eighth seasonal campaign that they’ve done, and comes with 25 new maps, 100 new medals and more than 130 new blocks and items.
One of the new blocks to utilize in creation is an Item Fogger, basically adding a fog machine to anywhere you’d like on your created tracks. It could definitely add a new level of difficulty if placed in areas where vision might be key. Other fixes and additions were included in the latest update. Check the changelogs below.
TRACKMANIA CHANGELOG: 31ST MARCH 2022
- Menu rework! We started to rework the global look and feel of the menu. The architecture stays almost the same. Not everything has been done yet, it will get updated, piece by piece, over the next months (new campaign and room display, new track browser, new profile, etc.).
- New club widget in the top right of the menu: if you have a club pinned, it will be displayed in this widget and accessible at all time. If you don’t have the Club Access or any club pinned, then it will rotate between the top 3 clubs at the moment.
- New club activity feature: you can now feature one activity in a club, it will be displayed with a star in your club and it will be shown in the club widget when your club is displayed. Use it as a way to advertise your newest activity to your members!
- New favorite track feature: You can now add tracks as favorite from the pause menu ingame and find them directly in your favorite folder in the track browser.
