Dear Runners,


Here we are, this is the final mile of this year! 🚛❄️


As 2024 winds down and winter settles in, it’s the perfect time to look back on the adventures we had in the Mudrunner games. Whether you’d rather brave the snowy roads in SnowRunner or explore more rugged terrains in Expeditions, we first and foremost wanted to thank the whole community for still being so passionate about our games.

Let’s take one last ride together for this year! 


SNOWRUNNER


In 2024, SnowRunner continued to expand its off-road simulation experience with significant updates and new content. But before looking back, I know you well: here’s a sneak peak of 2025’s content, especially season 15. 


Please note that these screenshots are from an in-progress update and may not reflect the final version! Design sans titre (34).pngDesign sans titre (33).pngDesign sans titre (32).pngDesign sans titre (31).png

The garage will also get fresh tools to customize your vehicle!


Finally, can you guess the truck in this cropped screenshot?


⏪ Now, let’s rewind a bit shall we?


In 2024 we kept on working on SnowRunner a lot and delivered three seasons included in the Year 4 pass: 


🌳 Season 12: Public Energy


In January, you took the wheel and drove to the greenery of South Carolina. The state government called on you to help build a nuclear power station! You constructed its reactors and supporting facilities by transporting heavy cargo and equipment.


Four new maps were introduced, along with new points of interest like a water dam, power plants and crop fields! Also, to accomplish your mission, two new trucks were introduced:

  • the MTB 8106

  • the FEMM 37-ATSNOWRUNNER_SEASON12_SCREENSHOT_NOLOGO_3_1920x1080.pngSNOWRUNNER_SEASON12_SCREENSHOT_NOLOGO_1_1920x1080.png


⛏️ Season 13: Dig & Drill 


In June, you were invited to Almaty, a hidden gem of a region nestled in the heart of Central Asia. Authorities in southeast Kazakhstan are launching a bold new mining project and need your expertise. Your mission was to deliver essential equipment and rebuild conveyor belts and haulage systems to get the quarries up and running.


Another duo of trucks arrived in your garage, an 8x8 and a scouting SUV:

  • The PLAD 450

  • The AAC-58DSnowRunner_Season13_screenshot03.pngSnowRunner_Season13_screenshot01.png


🌾 Season 14: Reap & Sow 


In September, you were introduced to the Austrian countryside! Your mission consisted in rehabilitating maintenance sites and farming facilities across 2 new maps, while managing agricultural machinery. 


Therefore, two new trucks were implemented, along with 2 powerful tractors: 

  • The Eartroamer SX 🚚

  • The Eartroamer LTI 🚚

  • The Futom 7290RA 🚜

  • The Ankatra 1160 🚜SnowRunner_Season14_Reap&Sow_screenshot_06_nologo_4K.jpegSnowRunner_Season14_Reap&Sow_screenshot_01_nologo_4K.jpeg


We’re curious to know which season, vehicle, map and mission were your favorites this year. Tell us your best memories from 2024 on SnowRunner! 


Kenworth Dual Pack 🚚🛻


In November, along with the Year 4 pass content, we released the Kenworth Dual Pack DLC. This update added two new trucks to your garage, each with a unique vinyl wrap for each:

  • The T880: Fuel-efficient, fast, with permanent diff lock and high suspension options.

  • The C500: Excellent off-road handling despite being limited to stock suspension.

Both came with custom sideboards too: 3 cargo slots for the T880 and 2 for the C500.miszef.jpgken.jpg


This DLC also brought a bunch of fixes, the patch notes are here!


#DriversDiary Screenshot Contest 📸


Last month we launched a little screenshot contest on Discord to let you win a key for the Focus game of your choice, and there’s already 500 entries! 

We’re proud to see how motivated (and talented) our players are 😎


Don’t forget, the theme is “Tough Terrain, Stunning Scenery”. We'll make sure to review every single screenshot and announce the winner on January the 2nd (Yes, you have one more day to submit your piece before we close it).


Thanks for your participation and good luck! 🍀


What can we expect for 2025? 🔮


Season 15: Oil & Dirt


The first thing to come will be Season 15: Oil & Dirt, included in the Year 4 Pass. So we’ll see you in Quebec! 🍁 This update will also bring two new trucks, stay tuned for more info! ✨

Also throughout the year, many Quality of Life improvements will come, including UI reworks for the garage.


We don’t want to spoil too much so make sure you follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Discord to make sure you’re updated on the latest news!


EXPEDITIONS


Season 2: White Dawn will arrive on February 27! But if you want to try it early, play on the Public Beta Branch. Here’s the tutorial on how to access it. 

This season will bring new content to the game, such as: the long-awaited SNOW! ❄️ 


Even though the next map will mainly be set in the Spring (and the one after will fully be set in the winter 😉), you will see snow in the Carpathians (2x2km), in the East Beskids! You will also be introduced to a new medium-size cave. ⛏️💎


In addition to these, new trucks will be added too:

  • The Decin S-3T

  • The Traun BR-0D

  • The Mercedes Unimog 2450

As for the free content, you'll get a new piece of equipment: the cargo drone, electricity will become a manageable resource, and a replayability system will be introduced (such as customized nameplates, horn and new stickers). There’s much more to come in future seasons so stay tuned!


Here's something to tide you over while you wait:

Season 4 (very wip!)Season 4 Shiba Dart SRV & Addons.png


We’re having a Truck Tournament! 👑🚚


Let’s end this year with a little competition between all the major trucks released this year. We know you love to debate about vehicles, so let’s settle this fight down!

You can go vote on Focus Together! All votes for the first round are already available, make sure you don’t miss any.


At the end of the tournament, once a winner is crowned, the teams will design an exclusive for the chosen truck!


⏪ Looking back to where we’ve ventured, to inspire where we’ll go next.


It’s time to look back on what happened this year and what’s coming in 2025 of Expeditions!


In March, we released Expeditions: A MudRunner Game! We were eager to hear your first impressions of the game. To make sure we kept creating a game that was true to your expectations, we opened a public beta branch, to let the most dedicated players help us provide feedback on the upcoming content. 


In May, we released the free Breaking Ground Update, introducing the caves. It’s a brand new feature we wanted to explore and you enjoyed it! Expeditions 2024-05-16 11-38-09x.png


Two months later we released the long-awaited co-operation mode, allowing you to venture with your best mates. 


In September we launched the first season: Cave Odyssee! This season took you to Arizona, in the Sedona region to dig up secrets, such as rare gems and records of a mysterious ancient civilization  in a brand-new cave environment. You were invited to collect these treasures and become part of a unique scientific discovery, even if the underground world was trickier to navigate than the surface! But we know you never refuse a challenge.expd_S1_03.jpgexpd_S1_01.jpg


Recently, Expeditions had a significant Quality of Life update, bringing SnowRunner’s control A scheme, the KHAN 317 Sentinel, and many UI improvements, on top of various bug fixes.


ROADCRAFT


We’re in the closing stages of the development of the game, which means that we’re in the final stretch! We’ll reveal a lot more info starting from early 2025 (Gameplay Trailer incoming 🫡), so stay tuned!



___________________________________________________________

That’s it for this year!


It’s been a long ride since we started our journey with SnowRunner and Expeditions and it's not over (You know, RoadCraft is coming next year, you should definitely keep yourself updated on this title, you’ll love it)! We still have a lot of things to share with you. In the meantime, make sure to join our core community on Discord and Focus Together if you haven’t already, and to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to get the latest news!



See you in 2025!


The Saber & Focus teams


Oh and we wanted to kindly say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year but our graphic designer is on holiday leave so there you go: 🎅🎄

Hopefully, they will let us save the color presets for later use! Can't imagine having to precisely dial all 3 colors for every truck.

​This news is exciting, but for most SnowRunner fans, the real question remains: When will the co-op feature work properly? This feature is the heart of the game for many players and takes priority over changes like truck colors, additional maps, or even new vehicles. Why is it so important? Because co-op gameplay used to function seamlessly, allowing players to enjoy the game together without issues.

Unfortunately, this is no longer the case, as the co-op feature now only works for a select few, leaving many players frustrated and disappointed. The addition of new content is irrelevant if such a core feature is unreliable. Playing together is what makes SnowRunner special for most of its community. Fixing this issue should be a top priority to restore the experience that players know and love.

disagree with the majority of this comment, for me the co-op feature has never been the "heart of the game" and I would prefer the devs to concentrate their efforts on bringing additional maps, new features and new vehicles instead, I take issue with you saying it's a "a core feature" and "fixing the issue should be a top priority", nope new content should always be the top priority and to suggest "the addition of new content is irrelevant if such a core feature is unreliable" is just silly.

​I agree 100% with your comment, it was extremely surgical and coherent, there is no point in adding a painting tool if the game does not remain stable in co-op mode. It is as if they gave a new paint job to a car that has no engine. Useless.

It looks like the The Oshkosh M-1070 A1 Aka Derry Longhorn. A Military HET HEAVY EQUIPMENT HAULER THAT IS BECOMING POPULAR NOT JUST IN THE MILTARY MARKET BUT AS WELL AS THE CIVILAIN MAKRET TOO! Some decommissioned military vehicles are sold to construction firms and also highway departments across all 50 state to transfer construction equipment for construction and road and interstate construction projects. 


Well Finally an update worth waiting for but, could you please tweak it to include accurate military colors of the military?

Well I'll be damned! Some of my ideas from the Original Snowrunner forums from years ago. I was the one who suggested that they add crawler tracks to all vehicles in the game as well as The Derry Longhorn be added as well as other ideas. sometimes my ideas aren't appreciated by all and am cut down or belittled or even chided on my ideas and some have even called my ideas a little "Half-Baked" I have High Functioning Autism and I do have some creative Ideas I also came up with the idea for the Derry 3194 based on the Oshkosh M-911. I am from Wisconsin and I also love trucks and also have an aunt who lives in Neenah, Wi and drive through Oshkosh to get to their place and I see a lot of semis and occasionally military vehicles in Neenah as that is where a National Guard Vehicle Depot is for the Upper Fox River Valley and Green Bay area and a strategical military point Wisconsin has held since the old early DEW Line Radar for NORAD back in the 1950's during the height of the Cold War. and am also proud to be a Wisconsinite Badger and live in Wisconsin. Also the Ford CLT900 And International Trucks have a tied history to Wisconsin as they were once produced here in Wisconsin an d are in the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives.



Regarding the Pacific Trucks, the P16 and the P12 is well tweak the p16 and take the log carrier completely off and ad it as a separate installation and re-add the heavy and low saddles back to all trucks ,as both Pacific trucks were dual-purpose vehicles General Moters Manufacturing had in Mind and were even dump trucks too back when Terrex was still a subsidiary of General Motors and so was Pacific and General Motors created the very first Earthmoving Dump Truck the 1973 Terrex Titan. As well as replace the left hood piece on the P16 .

​It seems like someone has serious issues with people who disagree with them. Therapy might help 🤣
