Since Season 1 has been released in September, we’ve been working relentlessly on the Season 2 content while addressing community requests on quality of life improvements, UI/UX elements, and fixing bugs through multiple patches.

We’re committed to continue to bring exciting new gameplay features as each season progresses, but, after a thorough review of your feedback, we've set our priority on polishing and improving your experience in Expeditions before expanding content further.

As a result, the Season 2 content drop will be released on February 27th 2025, in order to give us extra time to focus on improving the existing game first. We currently plan two major polish updates to tackle various topics and feedback you have raised over the past months, before going ahead again with new content in upcoming seasons. While this means Year Pass owners will have to wait a little longer for Season 2, our priority right now is to ensure a better experience for everyone.

It doesn't mean we aren't working hard on future content though, and we're happy to share that we have partnered with Mercedes to bring an exclusive, officially licensed Mercedes vehicle in Expeditions as part of the Year Pass future updates, on top of already planned content.

Please find below the list of improvements the team is working on. [STEAM ONLY] Year Pass owners will be able to beta test Season 2 in December through the Public Beta Branch.

Quality of Life improvements and bug fixing planned in the next update. This is a non-exhaustive list:

Improvement Patch 1 - 12th November

• New gamepad control scheme based on SnowRunner experience (SR's scheme A)
  
• Possibility of truck recovery to any accessible outpost, including recovery between different maps
  
• Area exploration stages have been made easier: players don't have to explore hard-to-reach places to pass a stage
  
• Added compass on the map
  
• Added tips on the Customize screen, which add-on is required to install the selected add-on
  
• The bridges which have been built on the terrain are now displayed on the map
  
• New vehicle - KHAN 317 Sentinel

Thanks for your continued support,
The Expeditions Team

• Significant changes have been made to the map UI, including a bug on gamepads where the Accept button did nothing without pressing any buttons on the D-pad, and a bug where the cursor was missing when opening the map after Recovery to the outpost

• Fixed FPS drops during opening the map

UI:

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.
