The reveal trailer showcases a variety of environments to explore from dense rainforests to muddy canyons. Whereas the previous games focused on massive utility trucks, Expeditions sees you exploring the wilderness in rugged 4x4s judging from the trailer. More vehicle types could be in the final game, however.

Vehicles can be equipped with gadgets such as drones and scanners to scout out landscapes, anchors to climb steep slopes, and echo sounders to assess water depth. The trailer also shows a vehicle equipped with a metal detector. You can also manage a base camp, where you can build research structures and hire a team to improve your skills.
