August Community Update

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

August is almost over, and that means we’re slowly heading towards the end of summer!
BUT it also means it’s time for our Monthly Community Update, let’s see what’s happening in the backstages of SnowRunner!

[h2]More info on Season 8![/h2]

Season 8 is named “Grand Harvest”, and that’s for a good reason! You will discover 4 new massive summer maps in a brand new region, never explored before in the SnowRunner franchise! That’s for the “Grand” part, and about the “Harvest”, your task will be to restore the electrical power supply system in the region, clean & fertilize the fields, and finally, sow crops and reap the benefits!

“Grand Harvest” is indeed focused on farming, and to help you complete this task, 3 new vehicles will be at your disposal: the Kirovets K-700, a four wheel drive tractor with impressive power for its size; its modern version the K7M to help you plow all types of fields; and the Step 39331 ‘Pike’, a fine choice for all the transportation duties!



[h2]That’s it for this month![/h2]

As you can expect, our team is currently fully focused on Season 8. We can’t reveal the release date yet, but make sure to stay tuned by following us on our social media channels not to miss it! (Discord, Facebook, Twitter)

See you in the snow!

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

We hope you’re all having a fantastic summer so far! Another month has passed and on SnowRunner, it has been a relatively quiet June.

Let’s see what’s coming up next!

Imandra in a nutshell

[h2]A new season is in sight![/h2]

That’s right runners, the Year 2 Pass is reaching its conclusion with Season 8! Our teams are fully focused on it to bring some exclusive new content to SnowRunner!
This new season will be focused around a brand new theme never seen before in the SnowRunner franchise: farming!
As you can expect, a new season means new vehicles! To help you complete your tasks, you’ll be behind the wheel of powerful and mighty tractors!

Big wheels for big duties

And there’s more! We’ve seen your feedback on Season 7, and your criticisms that the Season only has 1 map. Rest assured, Season 8 packs up a total of 4 (four!) maps located in a new region! Each map is a 4km²-sized map, so there will be plenty of exploration to discover all the secrets and details of the maps!

More info on Season 8 will be disclosed soon, so make sure to follow us on our social media channels (Discord, Facebook, Twitter) to get the freshest news!
