Renew and rebuild with Season 9 of SnowRunner

New maps. New vehicles. New cosmetics. New off-road fun. Yeah, it’s time to get renewing and rebuilding as Season 9 of SnowRunner arrives. 

SnowRunner is still one of our most favourite of off-road experiences – which is strange because normally we like to hoon it around in Forza Horizon 5. But there’s something about SnowRunner that makes it tick, with the appeal focusing on the need to delicately place wheels, workout routes and understand the physics in play. 

It’s not just us that likes it too, and if we take the plethora of content that has hit the game in the years since first release, there’s obviously a huge swathe of the gaming community that like nothing more than getting rough and ready in the cold. 

It’s with that in which we reach Season 9 of SnowRunner, and a host of new content yet again. Available either as a £5.99 cash outlay, or present and correct for those who have previously purchased the Year 3 Pass for the game, Renew & Rebuild brings forth a ton of new opportunities. 

This time around SnowRunner players should prepare themselves for the four seasons, as Season 9 adds in a couple of new 4km² maps. These are Albany River and Burnt Forest, allowing for some early autumn moods and a melancholic feel for a soothing experience as you bring life back to a desolate landscape of burnt forest and buildings, flooded farmland, water towers and disaster relief tents. You’ll need to traverse these lands and help the folk that occupy them get their devastated regions back on track. 

To do that, SnowRunner Season 9 gives you all the tools – two new vehicles: the Derry Special 15C-177, a dedicated Heavy-class vehicle specialized in carrying water with serious torque and incredible durability, and the ZiKZ 566A, a versatile Off-Road-class truck compatible with a wide variety of addons. We’re not sure what else you could want really. 

Although if you do want and need, you’ll find that the Year 3 Pass that comes about and kicks in with Season 9 is just the start of things. It also includes Seasons 10, 11 and the game’s third expansion in Season 12, with a host more content coming as the weeks progress. 

And further, Year 3 Pass owners will receive the exclusive Save the Day Vinyl Wrap Pack, bringing four exclusive skins for the Freightliner M916A1, Freightliner 114SD, International HX520 and Chevrolet Kodiak С70.

In summary:

• • Two new 4km² Canadian maps. Wander through the Albany River and Burnt Forest maps to rebuild the region’s infrastructure.
• • Two new vehicles: drive the Derry Special 15C-177, a dedicated Heavy-class vehicle specialized in carrying water with serious torque and incredible durability, and the ZiKZ 566A, a versatile Off-Road-class truck compatible with a wide variety of truck addons.
• • 1 exclusive Firefighter skin for the Derry Special 15C-177
