Driver’s Diary of August

August brings thrilling updates for our lineup of truck simulation titles! The upcoming Mercedes-Benz downloadable content for SnowRunner is right around the corner, and the official launch date for Road Kings has finally been announced!

Let’s dive into all the details!

During this month’s Gamescom presentation, we proudly announced that Road Kings will officially hit the pavement on March 11, 2027!

Check out the official trailer right here:

We are exceptionally thrilled to share this title with you, and we sincerely appreciate your unwavering support ever since our initial reveal last year.

Until then, our team remains fully dedicated to development and will return in the coming months with fresh gameplay demonstrations. 👀

Our developers are currently pouring their energy into the final stages of production, rigorous debugging, and comprehensive refinement to guarantee the highest-quality experience possible.

While you wait, be sure to connect with us on Discord! We recently published exclusive screenshots there to offer a sneak peek at what lies ahead.

Three million semi-trucks navigate American highways daily. Featuring panoramic vistas, sleeper cabs as cozy as boutique hotel rooms, and the promise of a lucrative career, it is hardly surprising that these massive, 40-ton giants inspire so many to pursue professional driving. For them, few things matter more than their rig, and that exact sentiment holds true for our team regarding Road Kings.

Speaking of which: a massive thank you goes out to everyone who joined our closed beta earlier this year. Honestly, your participation is the primary reason why the driving mechanics and vehicle behavior in Road Kings have reached their current standard.

We carefully reviewed every single piece of feedback and impression from the beta participants, utilizing those insights to completely rebuild our physics engine. Since then, every aspect of how a vehicle engages with the terrain has been overhauled: weight distribution, suspension elasticity, tire traction, body roll, and steering feedback have all been reconstructed to provide a grounded, genuinely authentic feel behind the wheel.

We cannot wait for you to slide back into the driver’s seat and experience firsthand how profoundly your contributions shaped the final product. Thanks in major part to your input, we take immense pride in highlighting what has become the core pillar of Road Kings: the pure satisfaction of driving.

We have closely monitored your comments, and we know countless players have longed for the return of a dedicated snowy environment. Well, we are thrilled to finally conclude that wait by setting our course for Switzerland in Season 19.
Prepare to conquer frosty mountain passes winding past picturesque chalets and stunning alpine vistas.

This upcoming season features three expansive maps and two new utility vehicles:

• A towering haulier featuring an extended chassis, reminiscent of the Kenworth 963

• A heavily reinforced Heavy-class truck built to handle the most brutal conditions

Before we unveil further specifics, enjoy an early glimpse of what awaits you. Take a look at these unedited Season 19 captures:

The development team is hard at work on our upcoming content update. The third Roadcraft expansion is slated for release within the next few months. Including two additional maps alongside undisclosed gameplay features, this expansion will keep you thoroughly engaged restoring isolated territories for hours on end.

One confirmed detail: Kelly is back from her break and will actively assist you throughout these missions. We will provide formal updates regarding the release schedule and the Public Test Server (PTS) as soon as further information becomes available. We trust you will thoroughly enjoy the fresh mechanics!

Here is an exclusive preview of one of the upcoming regions!

Now that vehicle mod support is fully active in Roadcraft, we wanted to highlight one of the community’s favorite creations: the ZIIZ Roadmax 3900G designed by zxp990.

Beyond possessing a fantastic moniker, this heavy-duty dump truck offers massive payload capacity, making it an exceptional choice for hauling and unloading construction materials.

We remain on the lookout for creative additions within the Roadcraft ecosystem. Our dedicated modding channel on Discord serves as the ideal hub to share your discoveries. We look forward to spotlighting more vehicle mods soon, alongside comprehensive resource guides for aspiring creators once they are finalized.

Following three weeks of submissions, we are delighted to reveal the champion of our summer-themed Virtual Photography Contest! 🎉

Heartiest congratulations to justtomulis from our Discord community for submitting such vibrant imagery from SnowRunner’s Season 18. You captured the distinct atmosphere of Mexico brilliantly!

A massive expression of gratitude goes out to everyone who participated and shared their stunning compositions with us—narrowing down the selections was genuinely challenging!
