Expeditions: A MudRunner Game Update 3 Available Now

A qange of bug fixes and quality of life improvements have arrived with Expeditions: A MudRunner Game Update 3 available now across all platforms. Some of the biggest changes include Freeroam unlocking after the first expedition in each region, a compass added to the display, and the option to skip minigames if you prefer.

With a bigger update planned for May, this release mainly covers bug fixes, particularly around achievements and progress. But allowing people to jump into Freeroam more quickly and skipping minigames will be welcomed by a lot of people.
