Season 2 Features: Snowy Mountains

Hello Runners! 🚚

In today’s blog, we’ll talk about the upcoming map that will be featured in Season 2! This new region is based on the Beskids, a series of mountain ranges in the Carpathians, in Eastern Europe. 🏔️

For the first time in Expeditions, you’ll drive in the snow to conduct the research in these mountains. Snow is different from the mud and rocks you’ve encountered so far in Arizona and in the Carpathians. You don’t want to tank your vehicle in deep snow, so FWD trucks will have an edge here!

Beskids in real life

Beskids in Expeditions

Your missions in this new area will include analyzing the wildlife, protecting the zone against poachers and conducting expeditions in the Beskidian Caves!

One of the map key points is an Observatory that overlooks the valley. 🔭

This region often sees meteorites crashes (hence the observatory), and as you can expect, you’ll have to investigate a meteorite fall. Who knows what you could find? (aliens? nah that would be ridiculous 👽)

Did you know?

Tens of thousands of meteorites enter our planet's atmosphere each day, but most are the size of a grain of rice or smaller. Some of them preserve material from the birth of the Solar System 4.6 billion years ago, so their study helps scientists to better understand the creation of our Universe.

Setting up the region in the cold Carpathians also justifies the research of meteorites: the cold temperatures helps protect meteorites from the effects of weathering for thousands of years.

This new map is not only an outdoor adventure, caves are back for more underground exploration! We’ll go into further detail about these caves in a later blog.

We hope you’ll enjoy this new map we cooked for Season 2! You can already test it on the Public Beta Branch and give us your feedback! **The official release for Season 2 is set for February 27. **
