The Trailblazers: Call of Taiko campaign continues with some great news for the new trail! We’re excited to announce the 3rd trail will last for 2 weeks! That's right, you heard it right! As we anticipated, we noticed that we have a community of gamers and we know that for any serious gamer - one week of playing any game is too short, so we made this trail last for 2 weeks.
