American Truck Simulator has been fulfilling all my huge rig desires because it got here out almost two years in the past, and after a tonne of free content material updates it’s lastly getting its first piece of paid DLC, extending the map to now embody New Mexico. The base sport included California and Nevada, with Arizona coming as a free add-on later within the yr, which makes New Mexico the fourth state represented in-game.

So what took so lengthy for NM to make the reduce? SCS Software spent some vital time in completely remodeling the scale of the game world, almost doubling the scale of the southwestern roads by shifting from 1:35 scale to 1:20. That basic rework slowed down their DLC growth and naturally made the addition of latest state a a lot bigger piece of labor.

The trailer above gives a beautiful take a look at the brand new locales, with the bonus of a track that by some means concurrently seems like Pink Floyd’s Welcome to the Machine and the Animals’ House of the Rising Sun. At least it’s extra thematically acceptable than their dubstep trailers.

There’s no particular launch date but for the New Mexico DLC, but it surely’s been in closed beta exams and is meant to be out this yr, so you may count on it quickly. No phrase on value, both, and former paid choices for the sport have solely included beauty objects – this’ll be the primary new map. You can take a look at tons of pictures and particulars with SCS’s official updates, and whilst you’re doing that I’ll be placing on some C.W. McCall and reinstalling ATS.
