Now, let’s take a look back at what happened for RoadCraft in December, and what SnowRunner Season 17 has in store when we return in 2026!

SNOWRUNNER

Let’s review what Season 17 - Repair & Rescue will bring: 

1️⃣ 2 new 4km² maps in Zurdania (Central Asia): explore muddy terrain full of challenges and hidden landmarks!

• Zurdan Valley: you will navigate through a small town, work around a metal factory, and haul cargo across agricultural fields, an oil refinery, and warehouses.

• Landslide Valley: you can restore a monastery and chapels, cross a small village, transport logs from a logging station and a sawmill, and check out an old train station, a sanatorium, and solar farms.

2️⃣ 2 new trucks with add-ons: 

• Voron G-5352 (Heavy): it lets you transport medium-weight cargo and use frame-mounted add-ons with ease. It can pull semi-trailers, but is not a dedicated tractor unit.

-> Add-ons: service module, multifunction module, 2-slot sideboard.

• Jangsu RX600 (Off-Road): It’s an agile 6-wheeler, capable of carrying fuel tanks and service modules, making it the perfect support vehicle for keeping trucks running in tough terrain. It handles light/medium cargo, heavy cargo is tougher. 

-> Add-on: sideboard carrying 2 units of cargo with trailer support.

3️⃣Many activities around restoration: 

• Main: You will restore fields for agriculture, construct a modern hotel to boost tourism, and repair historical monastery.

• Secondary: You can also clear old fields, explore with a seismic vibrator, install water towers, expand factories, build warehouses, deliver supplies, and set up solar power stations.

You can already try Season 17 on our Public Test Server (on Epic Game Store, you just need to own the base game on this platform to access it).

You can also join our dedicated channel for PTS related discussions on our SnowRunner server over here[discord.gg]! 

Take the PTS role in “# ⁠Channels & Roles” and then, join the discussion in “⁠🗣│sr-pts-discussion”

Keep in mind that you will likely encounter bugs on the PTS, since it's a testing environment.

Before we dive in, we would like to apologize for the delay of the update, DLC, and demo. 🙏

Here’s the recap: we had to revert everything because of save file corruption caused by a bug on one map (Contamination). Not everyone was affected, but the risk meant a full revert was necessary.

Good news,  as of this Tuesday, you should all have access to the update, the Timberworks Pack, and the free demo!

The new DLC is available and free for all Rebuild Expansion owners. If you don’t own it yet, you can grab it separately here[www.focus-entmt.com].

It brings 3 brand-new vehicles:

• Don 72 Malamute - Compact, confident, and surprisingly sneaky. Comes with its own trailer and slips through the tightest forest paths for precise hauls.

• MTK Lesorub 2006 - Your logging workhorse. This tractor has a built-in harvester to fell, trim, and process timber like a pro.

• Aramatsu Forester Neo Log Forwarder - A true titan of the woods. Grab, carry, and transport logs with ease even the toughest forestry jobs become smooth operations.

Plus, the free update brings a bunch of improvements and fixes, check out the patch notes here[community.focus-entmt.com]!

The demo is now available on all platforms (Xbox Series, PS5 and Steam)! Here’s what’s inside:

• Explore the first two maps: Precipice & Aftermath

• Unlock and test 15 vehicles, each with unique strengths

• Team up in 4-player co-op (demo-to-demo only), with crossplay

• Play freely with no time limit, and keep your progress if you upgrade to the full game

Whether you’re flying solo or with friends, there’s plenty to discover and your journey continues seamlessly when you get the full game.

If you're already playing RoadCraft, don’t forget to invite your friends to try the demo! 😉

SnowRunner kept the momentum going with its Year 4 Pass, bringing four fresh seasons and several standalone DLCs and yes, that means a LOT of awesome new trucks.

Expeditions also wrapped up an incredible journey with four big seasons, completing its Year 1 Pass in style.

We launched RoadCraft in May, delivering the ultimate rebuilding adventure to players everywhere.

And of course… we revealed Road Kings, our next big project and it’s already shaping up to be one hell of a ride!

Thank you for being part of all these adventures. Your support, your dedication, and your passion for trucks truly inspire us every single day. 💛
