From Arizona to the Carpathians, chart through expansive open worlds in search of hidden treasures and forgotten ruins. Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is a groundbreaking off-road simulation crafted by Saber Interactive, creators of the critically acclaimed SnowRunner.

Lead research missions as you drive a variety of all-terrain vehicles, using high-tech tools and managing your camp and crew to ensure your success in the wild. Embark on ever-rewarding scientific expeditions as you adapt to nature's challenges. Unravel the mysteries of uncharted lands, whether you're alone behind the wheel of your vehicle, or with fellow travelers in the online co-op mode for up to 4 players.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game builds on the legacy of Saber Interactive’s off-road simulations with its advanced physics-based gameplay systems, perfectly encapsulating the feel of driving through the wilderness. Whether you’re a long-time player of MudRunner games or a newcomer, you are in for a thrilling scientific adventure.

Success depends on preparation. Plan your missions carefully and hire a team of Specialists to improve your skills in the field. With the drone and metal detector, scout your itinerary and locate points of interest. Invest the profits from each expedition to expand your home bases by building support structures to gain useful supplies and summon new vehicles.

Equip your vehicles with state-of-the-art technologies and cutting-edge gadgets to ensure success in the wild. Use the winch and portable anchors to perform intricate maneuvers, and traverse treacherous rivers with the echo sounder. Choose strategically, as the tools at your disposal can make or break an expedition.

Winch: Get your vehicle unstuck from the mud or rappel down steep cliffs
Jackscrew: Turn your vehicle back on its wheels after accidental flips
Echo sounder: Avoid sinking by probing the depth of the water around your vehicle
And much more…

Customize your vehicles in the garage, choosing between nimbler scout vehicles, off-road machines or large trucks. Tailor your approach for light and fast exploration or slower, equipment-heavy trucking. Successful expeditions allow you to invest in new accessories, such as storage extensions, spare parts, and measuring tools.
