This update introduces a brand new breed, a stunning new environment, and a variety of quality-of-life improvements to keep things running smoothly. Whether you're here for the horses, the story, or the scenery, there’s something for everyone. It’s a packed update, so let’s jump into the full notes!
Sleek, fast, and sure to turn heads, the Akhal-Teke has officially arrived on Desktop.
With roots in the desert and a reputation for endurance, this breed is known for its athletic build and signature golden shimmer. Whether you’re racing or just showing off in the pasture, the Akhal-Teke brings both style and strength.
It’s not just a pretty face either. This debut comes with a powerful Breed Bonus:
+5 Speed
+2 Sprint Energy
Get ready to add something truly special to your stables.
Our last update introduced the first-ever trait to the desktop version: the Long Mane trait. In this update, we’re excited to introduce another trait, the Crystal Coat, which arrives with the Akhal-Teke. Just like the Long Mane, the Crystal Coat is a visual trait that gives horses a sleek, glossy finish that helps them stand out. This trait can be acquired on any horse and can be stacked with the Long Mane Trait.
And thats not all, Traits can now be toggled on and off in the Horse Creator screen and are also now visible on the horse info screen
Get ready to gallop to an epic new area. Welcome to the Golden Dunes
This beautiful desert landscape features winding village streets and distinctive clay buildings full of character. Soft golden sand dunes stretch out across the horizon, creating a warm and open setting. Along the paths, palm trees and desert greenery offer welcome shade as you ride. A peaceful oasis provides a quiet spot to pause and take in the view. It’s a sunlit, inviting place that’s perfect for relaxed rides and stunning photo opportunities.
A brand new addition to photo mode has landed in Rival Stars Horse Racing Desktop Edition. We’ve added a feature that lets you advance time at a slower pace while in camera mode, making it easier than ever to capture that perfect mid-jump shot, your horse galloping through the Golden Dunes or a serene moment by the oasis.
The Akhal-Teke arrives with a whole new set of Patterns! You’ll find 20 brand new options to explore in the horse creator, so next time you’re customising, take a look, you might spot something new.
