Snowman has announced that its endless snowboarding game Alto's Adventure will be out for iOS on February 19th.

To celebrate this news, the studio has shared with us the game's new trailer.

Up until now, all we had seen of Alto's Adventure was, mostly, promises of beautiful purple skies and sparkly, snowy mountaintops.

Now, this new trailer reveals how it will look to play. Watch it below (Snowman officially licensed the song "Kolniður" by Icelandic musician Jónsi for the trailer).

As you can see, you'll be snowboarding downhill across night and day, pulling off backflips and grinding along rails. In that way, Alto's Adventure is similar to OlliOlli.

However, its visuals are closer to the sleek lines and rich colours of Ridiculous Fishing's art style. Plus, with the mountains in the distance, and that long scarf, you might be reminded of Journey on PS3.

I'd also add that it has a folk tale feel to it with the small lazy towns, and the llamas running around. But, well, we'll have more about that in our hands-on preview on Monday (February 16th).

For now, go and watch that trailer again and see if you can spot any more details hidden away. Find out more about the game on its website.
