My Time at Sandrock Update Focuses on the Character Logan

The latest My Time at Sandrock update is live, and it focuses on telling the story of the character Logan. Logan is an NPC who was mentioned in My Time at Portia and is a wanted criminal. He joins in Hey Old Pals Part 2 – The Secret Behind the Mask. (The first part of that update launched in November 2022.)

Logan is a bandit in My Time at Sandrock. After his father Howlett died, Logan left Sandrock and began stealing from trains and engaging in illegal activities. While his past hasn’t really been explored prior to this, the new update will offer an opportunity to cross paths with him and find out more about his motivations.

Here’s a teaser video focusing on the new Logan storyline in My Time at Sandrock, though other characters appear in passing.

There’s also an almost 50 minute long developer stream discussing the addition.

Here’s the full list of My Time at Sandrock patch notes for the Hey Old Pals Part 2 – The Secret Behind the Mask update from Steam. The announcement also noted that, due to members of the team suffering from COVID-19, there may be bugs that will be fixed in the future.
