Glide Beast Track Pack lands today!

"We've got sea monsters slithering about all through the level," explains David. "You can see them sneaking out from bits of the map to take a look at you, and as time goes on, they build up in scale, until you burst out into a huge open area with two battling ships and a giant, giant kraken that you fly right up and over."

That's the kind of epic feat you'll be bragging about to your non-Glide playing friends for months. "Pics or it didn't happen," they'll sneer, struggling to hide how Kraken-shades-of-green with envy they are of your mad Elytra skillz.

YETI

Still, even the mighty Kraken may burst into tears and slither away screaming at the sight of the star of the next track. "We’ve turned down the temperature a bit," says David. "It’s using the Ice Spikes biome as an inspiration, and as you'll have guessed from the name, the track is home to the shaggy, shambling beasts of myth - the Yeti!"

Even Elytra masters will find tough trials in this chilly snowscape. "We’ve got lots of Yetis running through the map and giant fossils for you to avoid and to fly through. It’s quite an exciting glacial-type environment."

DRAGON

Brrrr! Fancy warming up after such a chilling map? Luckily, the final one stars a creature famed for fiery breath - maybe it'll thaw you out if you ask nicely?

"So our final map in the set is based around Chinese Mythology and uses our texture pack of the same name," explains David. "You’ll be flying alongside mighty dragons and soaring over and around a fantastic, epic terrain inspired by Chinese legend."

The perfect location for some Glide action! Chinese New Year? More like Chinese Flew Year. Ha ha ha! Send your Tom hate mail to the usual address.
