SCS Software released a new video showcasing the Atlas feature of the Road Trip expansion for American Truck Simulator.
Following the previous reveal, this time around we get to see the Atlas feature in action.
Specifically, we get to see the mechanic’s gameplay progression, as you’re prompted to find unvisited Tourist Boards, which will then unveil their points of interest.-
Once you’ve visited them all, you’ll unlock a specific postcard that you can attach to your dashboard.
It’s worth noting that when it launches, the feature will include Tourist Boards in California within the base game, and in the Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota DLCs. After that, SCS will gradually add the related content to all the other states.
We also got more specific information on how Atlas will unlock for you. You need any of Road Trip’s car pack DLCs, and that will unlock Atlas regardless of the vehicle you’re driving, including your trucks.
You can watch the video below.
American Truck Simulator is available for PC, and it’s the sister game to Euro Truck Simulator 2. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are also coming.
South Dakota is likely the next DLC, and we already saw its Truck Stops, countryside, towns, cities, more Truck Stops, the road network, more settlements, even more towns, Hot Springs, Badlands National Park, the Industry, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, the Black Hills, on top of gameplay.
The game will soon cross the borders of the United States and go to Canada with the British Columbia DLC, of which we also saw some screenshots, some of the towns, and the tunnels.
Then American Truck Simulator will return to the US with Indiana and North Dakota, on top of a Nevada rework.
Another big project is the Road Trip feature, spearheaded by the Ford Car Pack (of which we also saw the Ford Crown Victoria, the Ford F-150, the Ford Mustang Fastback, and the Ford Bronco Badlands) and the Ram & Dodge Car Pack with the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody, which will expand the simulator’s experience from trucks to cars and pickup trucks, including pure exploration and the delivery of smaller packages.
