The SnowRunner Year 2 Pass, AKA Season Pass 2, has been officially confirmed. Here’s everything you need to know.

The SnowRunner Year 2 Pass is now official. I mean, it’s been official since Nintendo mentioned it on its store page before the Switch version of the Saber Interactive off-roader was released. It then appeared in the Steam and Microsoft store pages.

However, now Focus Home has officially revealed what we can expect, coinciding nicely with my super-secret source, link in the description, who noticed some extra details. So let’s get on with explaining everything you need to know about the SnowRunner Year 2 pass.

READ: SnowRunner Year 1 vs Year 2 Pass

First up, you can buy the Year 2 Pass right now. If you have the spare cash, although in all honesty there is no need to at the time of making this video. Unless, of course, you want the Burning Bright Vinyl Wrap Pack.

This includes four exclusive eye-searing skins for the Azov 5319, Azov 73210, Yar 87 and Voron AE-43-80 – all genuinely decent trucks and I really like how these look. A nice bonus in addition to the four content packs.

Where is the Year 2 Pass cheapest? If you have Xbox Game Pass it appears you get a few quid off, bringing it down to around £19 or equivalent in your local currency. It costs a bit more on Epic, Steam and Nintendo Switch.

FYI, or for your information if a bit longer in the tooth, the SnowRunner Year 2 Pass is not covered by the original Season Pass, which is now known as the Year 1 Pass. So, yes, you have to buy it if you want another year of content. This includes those who bought the Premium Edition.

So what else do you get in the Year 2 Pass? Four seasons of hopefully glorious and not Imandra-esque trucking moments in new locations. Plus new trucks, new skins, new missions and maybe more.

Now I cannot give you bags of detail about what to expect in the Year 2 Pass. But I can give you a rough release date schedule and the name of each Season, well almost all of them, which will give a slight clue in itself.

First up, remember that Tatra truck I mentioned? It appears the first bit of DLC will be the Tatra Dual Pack, which is pencilled in for the 22nd of June 2021. This may change and is not official, this is just one of the dates revealed by the Nintendo Store.

The Tatra Dual Pack features two Tatra trucks, which means some European action for a change. Specifically, the Czech Republic. Or Czechia. Expect a video about these soon as I have them on the Public Test Server.

One is called the Tatra 805 and is in the offroad class. If it looks older to you, that is because it is a real truck that, according to Wikipedia, started life in 1955. Hopefully, someone had time to clean the cobwebs out before injecting it into SnowRunner.

The other Tatra truck, known as the T813, belongs to the Heavy category. More work for my Heavy truck showdown I am working on. Promise. It is an eight-wheeler, reminds me of a few current SnowRunner trucks including the Zikz 605R and Azov 73210. I will delve into specifics in a separate video.

After this release, the Year 2 Pass will move onto Season 5: Build & Dispatch. The photo does not include snow, which will be a relief for those battling to survive in Amur. Could just be a temporary placeholder, of course. Watch my 10 best trucks for Phase 4 guide on the channel, might help.

Build & Dispatch sounds like maybe you get to build some sort of rescue operation. Or you need to construct more buildings generally. Not sure but the rocks and trees look suitably rocky and tree-y. The unconfirmed release date is the 24th of August 2021.

Following that is Season 6: Haul & Hustle. Presumably, this has nothing to do with becoming a Poker hustler and avoiding getting into debt. Looks kind of Russian to me, where the Zikz 5368 in the background is from.

Most of SnowRunner is hauling and hustling so yeah hard to guess much else. Season 6, according to the Nintendo Store, will arrive on the 30th of November 2021. Just before Santa arrives. So no misbehaving.

Season 7: Compete & Conquer and its 22nd of February 2022 unconfirmed release date appears to take us to somewhere with a Michigan and Canada vibe. More autumnal vibes, unfinished bridge, telegraph poles you can smack into. Something interesting in the background.

Not sure if the developer meant to reference one of the greatest game franchises ever, Command & Conquer, but I’m glad it did. So many hours spent playing Red Alert, Tiberium Sun and so on. Anyway, I digress.

Rounding off the Year 2 Pass is Season 8: New Expansion. As with the last of the Year 1 Pass, a placeholder is given to make it more of a surprise. Although maybe the developers want to be all meta and actually call it New Expansion.

Scheduled for the 18th of May 2022, this may well be the last DLC for SnowRunner. Unless there is a Year 3 Pass. This also looks to be a location without snow although you cannot really tell much from a screenshot. Could just be a placeholder.

And that is what we know about the Year 2 Pass so far. With Phase 4 Amur still in the rear-view mirror, we will have to wait a while to really see where SnowRunner is heading in 2021 and 2022. Anyway, hopefully you stick with the Tribe for the journey no matter how long it is.

Until next time, home scones. I shall see you in the next video. Subscribe, like and donate if you can. Take care, bye.
