March Community Update
Hey, Runners!
The flowers are blooming and the sun is starting to come out, which means it’s time for our March Community Update!💐
It has been a relatively calm month and we don’t have a lot of news to share with you… YET😉
but… Let’s jump into it!

The Atom DLC is right around the corner!
You’ve been waiting for it, and it’s nearly time! The brand new heavy-class truck will be coming to you on April 2 on all platforms! Yes, you’ve heard me right: the massive Azov 67096 “Atom” will be yours in just one week!
Little reminder: This heavy-class truck comes with two unique add-ons fitted exclusively for its unique long frame: a huge 3-slot flatbed platform and a unique maintenance module that comes with a repair module and an extra fuel tank. In addition, the Atom is built to let you take on any terrain as its stock version is equipped with always-on differential lock and all-wheel drive from the get-go. Though it will not beat any speed or torque records, its versatility is where it will truly shine.
Please note that this DLC will be available as a standalone DLC and is not included in any Year Pass.
