The Snowbound pack brings a new winter themed race environment to the game, featuring four new tracks. But unlike most free DLC this isn&#8217;t purely cosmetic, the Snowbound Pack significantly extends the game\u2019s single-player campaign by adding season\u2019s two and three of the Veteran Class career, giving players 34 more events.<\/p>\n<p>Having played the Snowbound levels I can say that they really do feel fresh and bring a new style of gameplay to Mantis Burn racing, that will add hours of fun.\u00a0 The fact that this was released for free shows that this was a move made out of a love for gaming and not a drive for profits.<a href=\"https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Snowbound-N-For-Nerds.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image-5470]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5472 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Snowbound-N-For-Nerds-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Snowbound-N-For-Nerds-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Snowbound-N-For-Nerds-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Snowbound-N-For-Nerds-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Snowbound-N-For-Nerds.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(They should&#8217;ve added dog sleighs)<\/p>\n<h2><em><strong>Elite Class DLC pack<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The new Elite Class DLC pack adds a brand-new class of three Hover vehicles that come with their own 12 event \u2018Elite\u2019 career season that is unlocked immediately.
