SCS Software has provided new screenshots, footage, and details about the upcoming Louisiana DLC for American Truck Simulator.
We learn that the DLC will include several ferries, locks, and drawbridges, which will include seamless animations, both improving immersion and connections within the map.
Speaking of ferries, you’ll find them in Cameron-Holly Beach, Cote Blanche, and Port Fourchon.
In terms of movable bridges, you’ll find structures that open and close to let boats pass in Monroe, Houma, and the Old River Lock. This is interesting, as these features force the driver to pause and wait, breaking the usual pace of a drive.
You can check them out below in the gallery of screenshots and footage provided by the developer 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, Peoria, and Champaign.
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.
