The nature state

American Truck Simulatorhas, by my count, now added eleven extra states as DLC over and above the two it launched with. That means there’s a long way to go before it completely unites the states as one country under 18-wheels, but SCS Software are continuing their efforts with the announcement of a third in-development expansion: Arkansas.

“Located in the south-central region of the United States, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, over 40 State Parks, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers like the Arkansas and Mississippi, as well as the ever-stretching Ozark and Quachita mountain ranges,” saysthe announcement blog. “While hauling cargo, you will be able to not only see these beautiful landscapes and areas, but travel through a variety of large and small towns and cities, where you’ll find industries, landmarks and more.”

There are a bunch of screenshots through in the annoucement post.

In August, SCS releasedan Oklahoma expansion. Back in January, they announced that aKansasexpansion would follow Oklahoma, and last monththey announced that work was also underway in Nebraska.

All of which is on top of ongoing efforts torevamp the previously released California, one of the game’s two original states.

American Truck Simulator is one of our picks forthe best non-violent games on PC, which obviously fails to consider how often I crash into other vehicles on the road.
