Following the tease (that tricked no one) from a few days ago, SCS Software officially announced the Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator.
Players will be able to drive on the legendary Route 66 visiting cities like Springfield and Chicago. The DLC will offer very diverse landscapes, including river towns and vineyards in the west, a blend of cities, farmlands, and small towns in the south, and the urban and suburban landscape in the northeast.
There will be also plenty of jobs to take on from the State’s agricultural and manufacturing industries, while Chicago is one of the Nation’s railroad and aviation hubs.
Below you can check out a trailer and a batch of screenshots.
American Truck Simulator is available exclusively for PC and it’s the sister game to Euro Truck Simulator 2. It has recently been updated with version 1.53 which included phase 4 of the California rework with Santa Maria, Oxnard, Mojave, Barstow, Indio, Blythe, Los Angeles, San Diego, and El Centro.
Of course, the Illinois DLC doesn’t have a release date just yet. SCS Software usually announces release dates only when they are very close.
It’s likely that the Missouri DLC will come first, and if you want to take a look, you can check out its lakes and rivers, Maryville, its junctions and intersections, Cape Girardeau, the iconic underground warehouses, and the custom depots.
The sim also recently received the Arkansas DLC while Lousiana has recently been announced and we’ve also seen a bit of Iowa.
We recently saw an extensive livestream in which the developers provided a lot of info and even images of more content coming down the line, including new trucks.
Incidentally, a Valentine’s Day event is currently ongoing on World of Trucks, the online platform that ATS shares with Euro Truck Simulator 2.
