SnowRunner is adding a frozen new map next weekHow’s that for an icebreaker?
How’s that for an icebreaker?
Let it not be said thatSnowRunnerdoesn’t have enough snow to run (well, drive) through. The rough n' tough truck sim is adding more routes to get stuck in with Lake Kovd, a treacherous frozen quagmire packed that’ll arrive with the game’s first season pass update later this week. Hope you’ve brought tyre chains, because it’s about to get real slippery in old Russia.
Get your judgements wrong, and there’s a good chance of you cracking a lorry-shaped hole in it - sending five tons of steel sinking to the bottom of the lake. Not veryIce Road Truckersof you, behaving like that.
Lake Kovd is also a damn site scarcer than previous maps, offering only a single garage and scant few facilities. There’s a “Prototype Exploration Unit” to be unlocked, mind, and while I’m not clear on what it does, Focus say it’ll provide a “new kind of exploration gameplay”. Thanks for the clarification, guys. Most missions across the lake will see you hunting for old Soviet bunkers and military sites, and you can bring a pal along for the ride - whether they own the season pass or not.
The lake isSnowRunner’s second new map since launch, followingRift’s less-frigid forests last month. It’ll arrive this Wednesday, July 15ths as part of the SnowRunner Season Pass, which can be picked up over on theEpic Games Storefor £22.
