September 26th, 2023 - Lapland, Finland - The world’s first realistic snowmobile simulator Sledders is coming out this winter on PC. Hanki Games and Bonus Stage from Finland are bringing the ultimate deep snow freeriding experience out soon, and you can wishlist it on Steam now.

The game has been in pre-alpha for a few months now, and its active, 20,000-strong Discord community has most recently gone wild for the brand new rider character which dropped along with the latest update.

Sledders was born from the needs of a snowmobile enthusiast Niko Autio, the founder of Hanki Games. “Even here in Finland it’s not always snowy so to enjoy my freeriding hobby every season, I had to make a game about it”, he describes as the moment of the birth of the game.

Well, Finns may not have snow all the time, but it does not stop them from having an annual snowmobiling world championship competition in the middle of the summer - they just drive them on water then. But for all who still prefer not to let their sleds sink in lakes, Sledders will offer a perfect environment for powdery practice outside the official season.

Sledders is based in realistic physics of the snowmobiles and snow. It means it’s technical and not an easy arcade experience, but it will offer the player a good learning experience and realistic feels of riding in snow. You steer by leaning and shifting the rider’s weight around, and you can quickly sink into the deep powder if you rev the engine too much!

Sledders will feature huge maps for players to ride around in. And just like riding in real life, it is designed to be a multiplayer experience. The developer is teasing possible missions and unlockables in the game, but the main element will be riding with friends in beautiful winter scenery.

The maps contain steep hills, mountains, arrays of trees, and vast valleys to surf the snow in. Conquer the mountains and reach the peak faster than your fellow riders. The limits are only set by the player so show us what you can accomplish!
