SCS Software released new screenshots, footage, and details about the Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator, showing the city of Champaign.
In the official blog post, the developer showcased the iconic university campus, which is reflected in the map with several campus-inspired buildings as landmarks, among which you’ll find an instructional facility, electrical and computer engineering buildings, a research institute, and a small sign paying homage to the university itself.
Further recognizable landmarks are the city hall, hospital, church, higher-story buildings, and a local park.
To reflect the city’s agricultural legacy, you’ll find work at a food processing depot, on top of a car dealer, a furniture store, and a warehouse depot.
You can find the screenshots in the gallery below, alongside a video that SCS Software posted on X (formerly Twitter).
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. The open beta of update 1.57 for PC has already been made available.
Louisiana will likely be the next DLC to release, and you can enjoy its extensive gameplay reveal, its truck stops, welcome centers, buildings, some cities, more settlements, its forests and wetlands, more cities, the bridges, the road network, Port Fourchon, Shreveport, the custom depots, even more custom depots, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge.
Illinois is likely coming afterward, and you can check out its truck stops, the city of Marion, Rockford, Quincy, even more truck stops, Moline, and Peoria.
We are also getting a South Dakota DLC, and we already saw its Truck Stops, countryside, and towns.
The game will soon cross the borders of the United States and go to Canada with the British Columbia DLC.
On top of that, a rework has been revealed for the areas around the famous Route 66.
Another big project is the Road Trip feature, spearheaded by the Ford Car Pack, which will expand the simulator’s experience from trucks to cars and pickup trucks, including pure exploration and the delivery of smaller packages.
