the first DLC on approach

Truckers of the extreme will be able to rejoice. The first DLC of SnowRunner, baptized Phase 1 : Search and Recover, finally arrives and will be available as soon as July 15th. It’s time to put the marcel back on and refuel because this first extension brings its share of novelties.

This update will allow you to explore a whole new region: the kola peninsula. Located inside the Arctic Circle, in the north of Russia, this new environment will allow you to express all your talent in order to advance improbable vehicles in Dantesque conditions. On this peninsula, the roads are covered with snow and finding the path to follow will be your first difficulty. In addition, in order to reach your goals, you will have to cross torrents, frozen rivers and frozen lakes. Caution should therefore be exercised because the slightest cracking noise you hear can be fatal. The first map of this region, Lake Kovd, will include new contracts, tasks and missions including that of finding a former bomber of the Second World War.

SALT 16 “Actaeon”

Two new vehicles will also appear in this first DLC. The first, the SALT 16 “Actaeon”Is a reconnaissance vehicle that can transport equipment but also be equipped with a crane. The second vehicle is a 4 × 4: the Ford F 750 Crewcab. In addition to these two additions, existing heavy vehicles will also be entitled to updates. This will be the case for the very popular Tayga 6436 which will receive a new tiger emblem skin or the GMC MH 9500 which will be able to use all-wheel drive. The cockpit interiors will also be customizable. Some new gameplay elements will be there, such as mobile watchtowers that you can install on your trucks.

Obviously, this update will solve problems such as:

  • the petrol station icon in the Rift map
  • stock icons redesigned for clarity
  • the ability to hide crane controls for taking photos
  • the blocked success issues

It should be noted that this DLC will arrive in two parts. If the first will be available on July 15, it is also on this date that we will learn the release date of the second part. SnowRunner extensions are available individually but season pass will give you access to the first 4 phases planned. On the other hand, for cooperative play, it is not necessary that all participants in a game have the DLC. If only one player has the extension, the others will be able to benefit from the content during the game. Good news also for players who have neither the DLC nor the season pass: the update will also include free content such as new missions on existing maps. Only good reasons to go back into the cabin!
