Focus Home Interactive and Saber Interactive are pleased to announce their continued collaboration for development of the sequel to Spintires: MudRunner, which once again dares players to take charge of incredible all-terrain vehicles across extreme landscapes.

MudRunner 2 brings back the series' renowned physics engine, realistic driving mechanics, intense environments and sandbox gameplay, along with a host of new features and enhancements.

"Collaborating with Focus Home Interactive on Spintires: MudRunner was a great success for both our studios," says Matt Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive. "Thanks to their professionalism and continued enthusiasm for the project, the Focus team have established themselves as the ideal partners as we take the next bold steps in our MudRunner journey."

"We are proud to partner with Saber Interactive once again on a series that has proven to be a hit with players and critics alike," says Jürgen Goeldner, president of Focus Home Interactive. "With this new collaboration, we look forward to working closely with Saber Interactive to achieve our goal of offering players the ultimate off-road experience."

MudRunner 2 is planned for PC and Consoles. The game will be further unveiled next year, beginning with the What's Next de Focus press event in Q1 2019.

As always, I try and stick my head into Focus Threads as much as I can - I'm in the office for another hour, let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them :)

Just use the MudRunner as a GaaS? Why bother with a successor? :( Would be so good to keep MudRunner running instead

Does "Consoles" mean Nintendo Switch too?^^

I don't know for certain yet, but as Spintires: MudRunner is coming to Switch this year, I imagine it will be :)


I'm guessing Pavel is not involved in this?

Pavel is lead developer once again on MudRunner 2.

Huh? *check release date for MudRunner, see late 2017* Already?!

This is a very long term announcement and I know it's an early one, but the game itself is a long way off.

Really hoping this game is more colorful than the first. I never bought the original and that was partly because it was just such a drab looking game visually.

Because there is a lot more money to be made off an entirely new game.

I hate when games are announced with no images / trailers. Is there supposed to be something more coming from Gamescom?

The original, like IOM TT, is one of those titles I'm hugely interested in. I just don't have the time to play it. Waiting for a sale or PS+ as it looks a high quality simulation.
