We’re super excited to share that Season 1 of Expeditions is officially here! Watch today's launch trailer here:


Season 1 is all about exploring uncharted territory. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, Cave Odyssey invites you to dig up some long-lost secrets in a brand-new cave environment. For the first time in the MudRunner series, you can explore massive, maze-like tunnels—on your own or with friends—where rare gems and records of a mysterious ancient civilization are hidden. Collect these treasures and become part of a unique scientific discovery, but keep in mind that this underground world is even trickier to navigate than the surface!

We’ve also got two new vehicles to help you tackle the 14 expeditions, 12 contracts, and 11 tasks in Cave Odyssey: the Step 72-49 "Albatross," a tough six-wheeler, and the Shiba Overlander, a nimble scout perfect for squeezing through tight spots. Plus, you can get help from two specialists, Nava Desayi and Solveig Friedenlund—an Operator and a Jaeger—who come with cool abilities like speeding up your drone or marking airdrops and shortcuts.


In addition to the Season 1 content for Year Pass owners, we’re also dropping sweet new gameplay content, for free, for everyone: the Step 33-64 "Crocodile," a famous high-clearance truck, the GPS Tracker tool, which can be placed on equipment caches to automatically sell their contents, and the Helipad module, letting you teleport instantly to another vehicle.

There’s plenty more free content coming to Expeditions, including new game mechanics, specialists, vehicles, and all the cool paid features included in the Year 1 Pass—and get ready for Season 2 with even more surprises! Thanks so much for your support since day one. For more details, check out the roadmap on Expeditions: A MudRunner Game’s Steam page.
