Fans of the popular "RedLynx Trial" would probably have heard about the Nintendo Switch game "Urban Trial." While it is not exactly as popular as the former, this is one great game to consider getting on the Switch. Of course, it will have a lot of high-flying tricks that fans look for in the games.

Tate Multimedia, the company behind "Urban Trial Playground," has first confirmed the game via a trailer that gamers can now view on YouTube. Being the game that it is, the trailer would obviously feature all the crazy stunts that players can definitely pull off in the game but definitely not in real life.

"Urban Trial Playground is the stunt bike racing series with action straight from the sunny and colorful beaches of California, mixing in even some more crazy tricks, flips and combos than ever before," reads an excerpt from the official website of the game. "It's a game of speed, balance and style!"

The website also notes the main key features players can expect in the game. There are the Freestyle and Time Trial game modes in which players can compete for the highest score online across more than 50 levels. Players can even watch their friends do their own tricks with Ghost Mode.

For players who want to focus on style, they can always customize their bikes. Of course, they have the option to upgrade engine, breaks and other parts that affect the overall performance of the bike itself. The game also seems to be customized for the Nintendo Switch "in multiplayer functionality and race against friends or family in couch-based competitive modes with 2 players split screen play in Time Trial or Tag modes."

Alongside the announcement of the game, Tate Multimedia has also given a release date for the game. "Urban Trial Playground" is due to release on April 5.
