It’s already time for our February Community Update! Season 9 is just around the corner, so let’s find out what Ontario has to offer!



[h2]Season 9: Renew & Rebuild will be out tomorrow![/h2]

That’s right, runners, one more sleep and you’ll be able to explore Ontario, Canada, for the first time in the SnowRunner series! The Great White North welcomes you with a damaged region, ravaged by wildfires.
No time for strolling, it’s your job to rehabilitate the place! Secure the buildings that are still smoking, make your way through rough terrains and renovate burnt infrastructures to help this land rise from the ashes!

To complete these tasks, two new trucks will be added to the SnowRunner roaster:
  • The Derry Special 15C-177, a firefighting Heavy-class vehicle specialized in carrying water
  • The ZiKZ 566A, a versatile and old-school Off-Road-class vehicle able to carry small amounts of cargo.

[h2]Help Ontario rise from the ashes![/h2]

Season 9: Renew & Rebuild takes you to Ontario, Canada, a brand new region in SnowRunner, where you will need to bring the devastated region back on its feet following ravaging wildfires. Drive off the roads of Albany River and Burnt Forest, two new 4km² maps. Their early autumn mood has that melancholic feel for a soothing experience as you give life back to a desolate landscape of burnt forest and buildings, flooded farmland, water towers and disaster relief tents.



To fulfill your mission, you’ll take the wheel of two new vehicles: the Derry Special 15C-177, a dedicated Heavy-class vehicle specialized in carrying water with serious torque and incredible durability, and the ZiKZ 566A, a versatile Off-Road-class truck compatible with a wide variety of addons.
