SNOWRUNNER

SEASON 17 ARRIVES ON THE OFF-ROAD BY THE END OF JANUARY❄️

Let’s review what Season 17 - Repair & Rescue will bring:

1️⃣ 2 new 4km² maps in Zurdania (Central Asia): explore muddy terrain full of challenges and hidden landmarks!

• Zurdan Valley: you will navigate through a small town, work around a metal factory, and haul cargo across agricultural fields, an oil refinery, and warehouses.

• Landslide Valley: you can restore a monastery and chapels, cross a small village, transport logs from a logging station and a sawmill, and check out an old train station, a sanatorium, and solar farms.

2️⃣ 2 new trucks with add-ons:

• Voron G-5352 (Heavy): it lets you transport medium-weight cargo and use frame-mounted add-ons with ease. It can pull semi-trailers, but is not a dedicated tractor unit.

-> Add-ons: service module, multifunction module, 2-slot sideboard.

• Jangsu RX600 (Off-Road): It’s an agile 6-wheeler, capable of carrying fuel tanks and service modules, making it the perfect support vehicle for keeping trucks running in tough terrain. It handles light/medium cargo, heavy cargo is tougher.

-> Add-on: sideboard carrying 2 units of cargo with trailer support.

3️⃣ Many activities around restoration:

• Main: You will restore fields for agriculture, construct a modern hotel to boost tourism, and repair historical monastery.

• Secondary: You can also clear old fields, explore with a seismic vibrator, install water towers, expand factories, build warehouses, deliver supplies, and set up solar power stations.

Before we dive in, we would like to apologize for the delay of the update, DLC, and demo. 🙏

Here’s the recap: we had to revert everything because of save file corruption caused by a bug on one map (Contamination). Not everyone was affected, but the risk meant a full revert was necessary.

Good news, as of this Tuesday, you should all have access to the update, the Timberworks Pack, and the free demo!
