We are thrilled to pull back the curtain on Effingham, a vital new urban addition to the forthcoming Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator. Nestled in the heart of the Prairie State, this city serves as a pivotal junction for long-haulers, and our team has been working diligently to recreate its unique ambiance and signature landmarks for your virtual travels.
Dubbed the “Crossroads of Opportunity,” Effingham sits at a strategic convergence of major interstates, making it an essential and memorable waypoint on any delivery route. As you approach the city, the monumental Effingham Cross dominates the skyline. This faithful digital recreation acts as a towering beacon for every driver traversing the region, mirroring its real-world status as a local icon.
Navigating the local thoroughfares reveals the meticulous details that breathe life into this environment. From a serene local church reflecting the town’s communal spirit to a medical clinic representing the essential services of a bustling hub, every corner feels authentic. History buffs can also keep an eye out for the local museum, which adds a layer of cultural heritage to this Midwestern landscape.
Whether you are transporting heavy freight across the state or simply soaking in the scenery from the cab, Effingham provides a perfect blend of recognizable sights and genuine small-town charm. It represents another major step in our commitment to making the Illinois DLC an immersive, lifelike expansion that stays true to the real-world locations that inspire it.
We look forward to seeing you hit the roads of Effingham when the Illinois DLC officially launches! In the meantime, be sure to add this map expansion to your Steam wishlist.
