Frank and Fabio's latest scenery takes users to the French/Italian Alps and the iconic city of Chamonix, in addition to Europe's 7th tallest mountain: Mt. Blanc.

Dubbed "Mont Blanc Group", the scenery covers far more than just the 4,810 metre summit - Chamonix and surrounding settlements are also included, as well as the gravity-defying architecture located on nearby peaks.

The scenery was announced in June 2019, the developers claiming it was the hardest challenge they've ever undertaken at the time. Then-estimates put the approximate building count at 8,000, though they've now reached over 10,000 pre-release.

With news coming out this week the scenery will be releasing next Friday, November 22nd, Dainese followed up with a new video showcasing the features of the scenery:
