SnowRunner News

[h2]Hi, Runners!
[/h2]
April is almost over, we hope you had a happy Easter! 🍫 Season 13 : Dig and Drill is round the corner! You can get a glimpse of the upcoming scouts and trucks early, on the Public Test Server.

[h3]The Season 13: Dig & Drill will arrive in June, with:[/h3]

• A new 2km² map set in Almaty. A rugged, remote corner of Kazakhstan where sprawling mountain ranges meet dense coniferous forests and giant mineral quarries.
  
• Two new vehicles: the PLAD 450, an 8x8 powerhouse equipped to handle any job, and the AAC-58DW, a wide-body scouting SUV fit for any terrain thanks to its superior stability.
  

• New activities: Help the local government rebuild their mining infrastructure by conducting geological surveys, rebuilding the cargo airport, delivering equipment and transporting valuable raw materials.

[h2]UPDATES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO COME
[/h2]

• We’re currently working on the co-op issues and a fix is on the way already. We’re glad with the results so far! This means you can expect improvements coming alongside the season 13 update.
  
• Compatible wheels are also a matter we’re working on actively. Our goal is to implement more wheels in the game. However, this process requires time. We kindly thank you for your patience.
  
• This update will also bring stability fixes, physics improvements and will fix the bug that caused trucks to get lost in the garage.

[h2]That’s it for this month![/h2]
It’s been a long ride since we started our journey with SnowRunner and it's not over!
We still have a lot of beautiful things to share with you, but in the meantime, make sure to join our core community on Discord if you haven’t already, and to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to get the latest news!

See you in the snow!

[h3]The Atom DLC is right around the corner![/h3]
You’ve been waiting for it, and it’s nearly time! The brand new heavy-class truck will be coming to you on April 2 on all platforms!
Yes, you’ve heard me right: the massive Azov 67096 “Atom” will be yours in just one week!



Little reminder: This heavy-class truck comes with two unique add-ons fitted exclusively for its unique long frame: a huge 3-slot flatbed platform and a unique maintenance module that comes with a repair module and an extra fuel tank. In addition, the Atom is built to let you take on any terrain as its stock version is equipped with always-on differential lock and all-wheel drive from the get-go. Though it will not beat any speed or torque records, its versatility is where it will truly shine.



Please note that this DLC will be available as a standalone DLC and is not included in any Year Pass.
