News Update, March 31, 2019

Hi guys, sorry for the delay. We will have to postpone the 0.3.0 update for a few days until one of our artist will finish with the opening video. Meanwhile in this time we are going to keep adding, fixing and polishing things up.
Again we are very sorry.

As an update coming from the artist, April 10, Wednesday he is going to finish. Once finished we will send this work to our sound artist to make the sound for it.

As a good news, this update will be big. It will contain more than 2 to 3 hours of gameplay. You can experience both, over the shoulder and fixed cameras with alternate control and tank control, and something more extra. There is as well many puzzles to solve in this upcoming update.

Thank you for your time of reading this!

Progress can now be tracked on our website:

Dear STEAM community,

Thank you all for your patience of giving us more time working on the main game. We have worked really hard the past 3 months. Update 0.3.0 is coming at the end of March 2019. It will include the opening and the beginning of the journey for Alicia, a totally new inventory, tank control, new locations, new music, voice talent, as well as old school fans fixed/dynamic cameras.

(Screenshots updated on steam store page, update not yet available).

We are always open to your feedback and suggestion, by including this new fixed camera mode we want to see how many people are still into it in 2019, to see if is worth it for us to continue developing it.

Please note that many aspects of the game such as puzzles and objectives, enemy spawn may change once we finish with the other sections of the maps. For now you can only experience these updates changes while the game is in early access.

As a last note on this news we want to mention that we are not a big studio. We are actually 2 people working on the main game while some other talented artists help us with assets creations only.



Thank you for reading. We hope you will be with us in every step of our development process.

Hi everyone,

It’s time for a new community update about MudRunner and what we have planned for the future.

We know that many of you are wondering if MudRunner will see more content added or if the next step is the release of MudRunner 2. We’re happy to confirm that we have a new free DLC planned for MudRunner.

We’ll unveil more details about this DLC in the upcoming months but you can expect something similar to the various free DLCs already released for MudRunner, such as The Ridge or The Valley.



Most of the team is now focused on the development of MudRunner 2. During Focus’ yearly press event “What’s Next”, much more info will be shared about the game. As some of you noticed, although it was originally scheduled for February, it has been moved to April 10-11. We’re sorry about this but it’s ultimately for the best, as we’ll have a lot more to show in April.


Today, we’re happy to share this community survey, that we’ve prepared to get your feedback and suggestions about the future of the MudRunner franchise.

Click here to answer the MudRunner Community Survey.
You'll need about 10 minutes to fill out this survey. We'll close it in two weeks.

We want to be completely clear that the purpose is not to get a list of features for MudRunner 2. The development of MudRunner 2 is going great, and most features have already been locked down. We can’t wait to share more about that with you all!

The purpose of this survey is for us to get to know all of you a little better, for the benefit of the overall MudRunner experience, franchise, and future. Please do not interpret these questions as indications of what might appear in MudRunner 2.

The survey should take 10 minutes to complete. These questions have been chosen based on all your feedback since the launch of Mudrunner, be it from the Forums, Discord, Steam, or elsewhere.

Please share this survey with your MudRunner friends. Thanks once again for your passion and dedication to improving the MudRunner experience!
