NEXT UP: NEW STANDALONE DLC 🚛

This DLC will bring 2 brand-new vehicles (both full-sized trucks, no scouts) to SnowRunner and is planned for the coming months.

Most importantly, they come from a brand-new manufacturer that will be making its very first appearance in SnowRunner.

And here’s a little extra tease… one of these two trucks is also among the most requested vehicles by you since the game’s release. 👀

We’ll give you more info soon 😉
