I finally reached the north of Norway! I have achieved my goal with that new DLC!!

Drive off the cliff?

First look at road to Chicago:

I think we will have it in the game till the end of April .

[MasterXtreme]

We got the next DLC reveal soon too.  Illinois will probably be an April/May release?!?!?

I want to watch the gameplay trailer, but I don't want to be spoiled!

You will get some major teases of things.  I'd hold off. Let's just say Chicago is the most impressive and biggest city they have ever done.

Let's just say Chicago is the most impressive and biggest city they have ever done.

Unlike their first games where you could legally make a couple of streets with low buildings and low-quality photo on a background pretending to be the rest of the city (or mountain landscape), in the current games for powerful PCs they are finally forced to do everything right .

P.S. Seems like they are some kind of obligated to post more videos with Bobcat .

Must be the same story as with the Star Nation events.

I watch the video and WOW.  Chicago is impressive.  We actually get to drive right amongst the big big buildings. I don't think we've ever had that before really.  It's pretty cool! Seattle we got to drive right next to them, but this is right AMONGST them!

I finally reached the north of Norway!

Any screenshots from there?

I did not take any.

SCS in their latest stream said they are working on 2 unannounced reworks for ATS.  So we don't know what they are.  I assume one is finishing Route 66 and then maybe Nevada? 

On February 24th, there is an announcement with Western Star.  Feb 25th is the ATS Anniversary.  They said surprises are incoming with a big surprise Feb 26th.

Oh wow. That is a lot of new info! I guess we better set up a list of things to follow again otherwise we will forget everything coming. They said unannounced Reworks as well, which makes me think the rest of Route 66 won't count as one of them as we already know about it.  Maybe Nevada and Washington for the upcoming British Columbia DLC?

Im thinking North Dakota and Minnesota. 

If not that, we might get Mississippi.

ROAD TRUCKERS: New Beginnings

A new trucking game from the developers of Alaska Road Truckers.  They continued to improve that game and gave away several free DLC's including ice trucking, but this time they are going to a fictional country in South America!  They are really trying something different and this time, it looks promising.

Volvo Trucks Experience Center

Fun coincidence: two years ago, we had Scania Demo Center in the same patch with Switzerland rework (1.50) — no connection between these two areas, but this year we may see the same: a demo center with a reworked part of the map (Benelux).

I wish them the best honestly. I actually thought they abandoned ART but it turns out they didn't and tried to make it great before moving on to this new game.  It's nice to hear the developer talking about their plan. It humanizes them.  So I hope it's good and maybe it will be a unique experience.

Murals of Illinois

[MasterXtreme]

The urbanity of Chicago is going to be SCS's biggest urban test for ATS so far.  Hope they can capture it.  It's looking good, but it needs way more human action on the streets.

It looks like a good route for them to go down. Capture a different niche audience and improve on what they've learned.  I'm glad to see them doubling down and trying to improve! That's a good thing.
