Announced during Gamescom ONL 2023, Saber Interactive has revealed the next title in its MudRunner and SnowRunner franchise: Expeditions.
This new driving sim builds upon the much-loved driving mechanics of its previous releases, with all-new features and expansive maps to discover.
Setting off on a new expedition in the MudRunner world
Expeditions invites players to once again get behind the wheels of powerful off-road vehicles, as they seek to conquer treacherous terrain and take on various tasks and challenges.
Building off of the many new mechanics introduced in SnowRunner, Expeditions sports different vehicle classes, including scouts and heavy-duty trucks, all of which play many roles. A returning mechanic is the use of tools that will be hooked up to the trucks, now including some newcomers such as a metal detector and even the use of a drone.
This new collection of trucks and tools will be used to “chart through extreme landscapes” as the player builds, research structures and manages their camp of operations.
Experts can also be hired, which will further help with missions and allow the player to progress.
Venturing forth
There’s no release date as of yet, but we do know that the game will be releasing on all major platforms, including Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S, PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC.
It currently has a planned release date of sometime in 2024 on these platforms, with the ability to wishlist it right now on Steam.
Between the reveal trailer and the first handful of screenshots, Expeditions looks like it’s shaping up to be a gorgeous and intricate successor to both MudRunner and SnowRunner.
Both of those titles received glowing reviews at launch, and were very well-supported post-launch. SnowRunner, in particular, has had a very long post-launch support run and there are still new expansions set to be released in the coming months. Fans should expect the same for Expeditions when it finally releases.
