[h2]Hey Runners![/h2]

We’re are very pleased to announce the release of the new Season 10: Fix & Connect on July 18! Prepare for two new maps, two new vehicles, as well as new activities. Feel the electricity in the air by discovering a new batch of screenshots!

[h3]With a power outage in British Columbia comes great responsibility[/h3]

Season 10: Fix & Connect will keep the Canadian journey going, taking Runners to British Columbia for the first time with two new 4km² summer maps. In a remote landscape of log stations and sawmills, farms and silos, as well as fisheries, players will venture far out into extreme wilderness and take in the sights of awe-inspiring lakes and waterfalls. After a destructive storm, Runners will need to deliver generators and parts needed for reconstruction, set up electric poles to reconnect the grid, and fix ferry boats and other crucial infrastructure, such as the weather station.



Two new vehicles will help you carry out your task: the Mack Defense M917A3, a superb, fresh-off-the-line off-road truck that shines with its durability, and the Kenworth 963, a massive, behemoth of a truck capable of dealing with anything you throw at it.

As with every new season, a free content update that comes with 10 new, fun cosmetics and a big crane add-on will be available for all players.



SnowRunner’s Season 10: Fix & Connect releases July 18 on PC with all owners of the Year 3 Pass or 3-Year Anniversary Edition receiving it for free. For more information, check out the game’s page on the Focus Store.

(!!!) Dear mod creators, the fix to the problem in the mod editor, that we warned you about, will not be in the next patch, we will continue to work on fixing the issue. But for now here is the guidance on how to avoid the issue: add all the new rivers and overlays to groups; before editing the old ones - transfer them to groups. We strongly recommend you to follow the guidance. Apologies for the inconvenience.
