SnowRunner - Development News and New Details of the "Updated" Game

Today the first "development blog" was published, in which each review will feature one truck that will be in the final version of the game SnowRunner at release.

Did you know that MudRunner 2 changed its name to SnowRunner? Yes, it happened, and moreover, the game is set to receive a number of quite significant updates (especially a new engine), which, according to the developers, justifies changing the game’s name. Below we have listed some of the innovations. SnowRunner will be released next year on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

A few details:
- The game is being developed on a new engine (possibly a reworked Swarm Engine from the game World War Z).
- There will be 3 new types of surfaces: snow (which will be very different from mud), ice, and icy roads.
- There will be many licensed vehicles (we will publish reviews every week, translations from official sources).
- There will be a detailed dashboard and a detailed truck/car interior.
- Anti-slip chains will appear for better traction in snow and mud.
- A snorkel will appear for crossing deep lakes.
- Realistic ice and snow physics (a lot of attention has been paid to this aspect of the game) + vehicle behavior on snow/ice.
- Long-awaited quests (missions) and many new types of tasks will appear.
- Maps will be connected by portals (tunnels between mountains).
- It will be possible to build and repair bridges from transported materials.
- Updated multiplayer.
- System requirements will remain roughly the same.
- Mud has been heavily reworked and now there will no longer be chunks of mud on tires. Also, the game physics have been significantly reworked and now take into account many more parameters than before.
- Increased draw distance.
- There will be both winter and autumn maps located in Russia and the USA.
- Among the American maps will be Alaska (winter map) and most likely Minnesota (autumn map). Nothing is known yet about the Russian maps.
- Map sizes will be increased by 4 times.
And much more!

Now to the truck review!

The first on our list is the Freightliner M916A1!

In SnowRunner, we want to implement fully recreated vehicle cabins, with working speedometers, tachometers, and engine temperature simulation. We want you to be fully immersed in the process while playing the simulator.

Also, this month the developers worked on the game profile screen. There you will be able to track all your statistics: money earned, completed missions, map exploration progress, unlocked vehicles, upgrades for them, etc. The more you play, the higher your rating. And the driver’s badge will reflect this.
