[h2]Hello Runners! 🚚[/h2]

It’s October already! The sun is setting early, the leaves are falling, so it’s time to sit back and relax. 🍂 SnowRunner will have a rather quiet month: therefore, there won’t be any big news.

However, for those who are curious about RoadCraft, make sure you scroll down this Driver’s Diary for a Q&A and developers’ insights.



Let’s start this off with good news: we’ve recently reached 16 million players! 🎉🥳 We wanted to extend our warmest thanks to the entire MudRunner community for being such devoted and loyal fans. Your support fuels our motivation everyday 😁

Since there is no hot topic at the moment, we would love to hear your feedback on Season 14: Reap & Sow. Tell us how you like it!

The compatible steering wheels list will soon get expanded: We’re teaming up with Turtle Beach to implement the VelocityOne™ Race Wheel & Pedal System in the game. Take a look here!

And now, let’s highlight some of the community’s virtual photos that are reminiscent of fall.

An important Patch is coming to the game! 🚚

This Patch was crafted as a response to the players’ wishes! Therefore, it will bring many Quality of Life changes, such as the much-awaited SnowRunner control scheme, UI and UX enhancements and game flow improvement in the garage. Keep an eye out for the Patch notes coming soon!

Here’s a small list of changes to expect with the next patch:

• Compass on the map
  
• Possibility of truck recovery to any accessible outpost, including recovery between different maps
  
• Redesigned truck markers
  
• Area exploration stages have been made easier: players don't have to explore hard-to-reach places to pass a stage
  
• and more, so stay tuned!
  

Please also note that the initial Roadmap has been updated to reflect this change. You can find the complete explanation here.

We have something in store for Spooky Season! From October 31 to November 12, you’ll have the opportunity to unlock 2 Halloween themed skins for the KRS 58 Bandit and the Collie Pug 293! 🎃 To redeem these skins, you’ll simply have to launch the game and link your account to PROS.

[h3]Also, a fan creation has caught our attention! 🛠[/h3]

Appie shared images of an original mini brick set of the Albatross. Here’s a first picture but watch the full thread here.

[h3]How cute! 🛻[/h3]





The devs have communicated a detailed Q&A to clarify the core concept of the game and provide a first look of the dev teams!

[h2]Hello Runners! 🚚[/h2]

Summer days are slowly making way for colder weather… What a perfect time to dive back into the MudRunner series! 🌨️

This month’s Driver’s Diary is filled with brand new content for: SnowRunner and Expeditions! Let's dive into the details of what happened this month and what’s coming next! 💭

[h3]SNOWRUNNER[/h3]

Yesterday, we released Season 14: Reap & Sow, which takes you to the beautiful lands of Austria!

Your task? Renovate a Renaissance Castle! 🏰 Heavy rainfall and landslides have unfortunately hit Austria, impacting tourism and agriculture. And this castle renovation is the first step towards getting the region back on its feet!

For this new adventure, we’ve meticulously crafted two huge new maps right at the heart of the stunning Alpine Valleys. 🌲




To help you complete these monumental tasks, we bring you 4 new vehicles including a new brand appearing for the first time in SnowRunner: EarthRoamer.

For your harvesting and farming duties, nothing better than the Futom 7290RA and the Ankatra 1160!
• The first is a big and powerful tractor with a strong engine making it able to pull trailers, as well as its own logging crane and last but not least: it’s fitted with all-wheel drive.
• The second is a smaller sized, six-wheeled tractor. It possesses outstanding maneuverability and will allow you to attach any farming equipment with its built-in ability.

The two trucks from the new brand, the EarthRoamer SX and EarthRoamer LTI, are specialized in fleet support. Fitted with a sizable repair module inside their RV trailers, they also bring strong scouting capabilities to your fleet thanks to their new locator module acting as a portable reconnaissance tool. This will be particularly useful in areas where towers are few and far between.



We hope you’ll enjoy Season 14. As usual, please please give us feedback!

[h3]EXPEDITIONS[/h3]

Why stay outside in the cold when we can dig in the endless caves of Expeditions’? 🥶

If you haven’t heard the news, the first season of Expeditions: Cave Odyssey is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S!

A new world opens up beneath you! Dig up the rare remains of an ancient civilization lost in underground tunnels with brand new exploration equipment and vehicles! Get out of the trickiest maze-like caves by teaming up with up to 4 friends!

You’ll need the best equipment to face this new experience of scientific exploration… And that is why we bring with this update two new trucks! The Step 72-49 "Albatross," a tough six-wheeler, and the Shiba Overlander, a nimble scout that lets you slip through the most confining spots! To build you up even more, you’ll get constant help and hints from two new specialists: Nava Desayi and Solveig Friedenlund who can speed up your drones or marking airdrops and shortcuts.

Although we tried to bring much energy and efforts into this first season of Expeditions, we are aware that some of you encountered some issues, especially regarding crossplay.
But we found a fix! You can read the latest patch note here
