We're continuing our journey across North America onto a new state in American Truck Simulator! From stunning mountain vistas to towering forests, this US state is also known as "The Natural State". Today we are excited to officially announce that we are creating Arkansas for American Truck Simulator.


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. 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.







We already have a wide range of topics to cover on our blog in the future and we can’t wait to show them to you. For now, please keep in mind that while this article already includes plenty of screenshots, the project is still in a fairly early phase and everything is a work in progress.

Nebraska’s nature is unlikely to attract crowds of tourists, yet it's clear that exploring this charming state offers a wonderful chance to uncover some of the state's lesser-known treasures. This region boasts quite a number of unique characteristics, such as the Sandhills and an impressive amount of rivers.


Nebraska's landscape is characterized by its vast and open spaces, with much of the state being part of the Great Plains region, which stretches across much of central and western Nebraska. These prairies provide habitats for various species of wildlife and offer a true sense of freedom and tranquility for visitors and locals alike.





With so much open and natural space, Nebraska provides the perfect conditions for a variety agriculture businesses. Therefore it is of no surprise that you'll see and deliver to many farm areas, growing a variety of plants, crops, corn, and more.






In the Sandhills region of Nebraska, you'll find a unique and striking landscape of rolling sand dunes covered in native grasses. This area is known for its distinctive beauty and relatively untouched nature, which makes this special environment a peaceful sanctuary that feels far removed from the bustling world.



Given the states vastness and open areas, our teams aspires to portray Nebraska's reality, however, this comes with a few challenges. We continue to remain mindful and aware of the players POV, to create create a journey that has purpose and matches expectations both gameplay and scenery wise. We hope we can find the right balance given how vast and open Nebraska truly is. We are open to hear your thoughts on how this could be achieved in the blog comments or on our forums.

Described as “the loveliest site in the world for a town,” Emporia was founded in 1857. Today, it is known as an "authentic small city" located on the edge of the Flint Hills of Kansas. Today's blog features the work our team has undertaken to recreate the industrial part of the city in our upcoming Kansas DLC for American Truck Simulator, and what drivers can expect to find there.


Don't let the small town atmosphere fool you, this city has quite the busy industry area, featuring warehouses that supply local businesses, shopping malls for its residents, gas stations, factories and even a food plant! You'll find no shortage of delivery contracts in this area.









However, if you are just passing through, why not take a moment to enjoy some of the landmarks that can be found around Emporia, including the Welcome sign which is made from flint sourced locally.

Other landmarks include the Clint Bowyer Community Building, donated by local racing legend Clint Bowyer to give residents a space to use for activities, talks, and more!








So whether you are driving through or making a stop, be sure to take a minute to admire what the city of Emporia has to offer. We look forward to showcasing more from our upcoming Kansas DLC with you; until then, keep on truckin'.

The new Oklahoma DLC for American Truck Simulator offers an immersive and authentic driving experience through the diverse landscapes of the state. From bustling cities to rural farmlands, the DLC provides a well-crafted depiction of Oklahoma's beauty. Being a former over-the-road truck driver in the United States before moving to Sweden, this helps me reminisce back to the days when I used to travel the I-40 Interstate through Oklahoma. The attention to detail in the road networks, landmarks, and scenery enhances the realism of the game. Whether you're a dedicated trucking enthusiast or simply looking for a refreshing addition to the game, the Oklahoma DLC is a solid choice.

Absolutely thrilled to have had the chance to experience the Oklahoma DLC for American Truck Simulator! As a truck lover, diving into the diverse landscapes and vibrant cities has been an absolute joy. The state's rich history and thriving industries, like bus factories and tire factories, make for an engaging trucking experience. The attention to detail in places like Gloss Mountain and Beavers Bend State Parks truly makes this DLC a trucker's dream. The peculiarity of this map, which surprised me and especially my community during the live broadcasts, is the presence of some particular roads that make the journey more intriguing and exciting. Can't wait to continue this exciting journey on the road!

In my opinion, Oklahoma is one of the most beautiful states in America, and I am very glad that our dear developers have finally added it to the game. The detail of all ten cities and landscapes is amazing. My viewers and I enjoyed spending time checking out new roads and cities, and we even found an interesting hidden road! The views in the expansion are really nice and you can look at them for ages! Everything looks very nice and the DLC is definitely worth your attention. Thank you, SCS Software for the new and great addition to the game. I am sure that it will be even better and better from now on!

Oklahoma is OK! (Get it? Eh? *Cricket noises*) Honestly, this state is simply a relaxing and unique one to drive through! I love when we get a new state like no other before because, during my live streams, everyone from the state always points out the realistic recreations of towns that are important to them and things you can only see in Oklahoma. From the truck stops to the Tulsa Airport and the School Bus Factory, you will find scenery and pickup locations that look like no other in the game. SCS did a great job of showing the wide open plains as well as the mountain parts of the southeast. It connects the bordering states with many more back roads than I ever expected! Thanks, SCS, for yet another wonderful addition to the ever-expanding American Truck Simulator!



Alongside the DLC launch, we launched the #CruisingOklahoma World of Trucks event and in just over two weeks, you've managed to surpass over 75% of the community goal of 111,000,000 miles (178,637,184 km). Really good going! No need to rush though; you still have until the 1st of October at 23:59 UTC to secure your personal rewards and help out with the community goal. More details are available in the dedicated blog post.

In conclusion, it's evident that we've been absolutely overwhelmed with feedback since the release. To tackle The Sooner State and make it as diverse as possible posed a challenge to our developers, and we're thrilled that the project has garnered much attention. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you!

On your visit in American Truck Simulator, you can find jobs to and from the battery factory, local city works, a dynamic parking depot, car and truck dealer, furniture and supermarket stores. On the outskirts of the city, you'll also find a Steel metal depot, Oil Service and a Livestock Farm.

A few weeks ago we released a blog post teasing new content for American Truck Simulator that we started working on during the development of two map expansions. We hope today’s map DLC announcement will get you excited just like the previous two, because officially we are... Introducing Nebraska for American Truck Simulator


Located in the heart of the Great Plains, Nebraska’s vast and diverse landscape consists of prairies, rolling hills, and the crucial Platte River. While hauling cargo through the Cornhusker State along historic routes, you will have many opportunities to witness iconic landmarks and truly immerse yourself in the state's spirit, from its pioneer history to the modern energy of cities full of ever-growing industries. Our goal is for the DLC to offer a fusion of peaceful landscapes and the rhythm of a buzzing economy that's unlike any other.

Today we are excited to share with you big news for American Truck Simulator. Our teams have been working hard to bring a HUGE addition to a legendary icon in the trucking industry....

Introducing the W900 Tuning Pack!

Kenworth's W900 design allows real-life truckers to customize their ride in many different and unique ways. We wanted to reflect this by bringing some of the most popular combinations to American Truck Simulator, as we know how important customising rigs is to our community. Turns out, there are A LOT of tuning options available for drivers of the W900, so our team decided to go big with this project.




As a symbol of individuality on the road, drivers have embraced the W900's potential for personalization, resulting in a vibrant market of aftermarket additions. A majority of the external and interior parts that are included in this pack have been inspired by these third party modifications, allowing us to bring a large variety of customisations to this iconic truck.



The W900 Tuning Pack features over 500+ individual tuning parts for both the interior and exterior of the truck, giving you a massive range of options to personalise your Kenworth W900 just the way you like it. This includes (but is not limited to) bumpers, cab door accessories, exhausts, filters, mirrors, fenders, mud flaps, exterior lights, grille, hood, roof window, chassis cover, side skirt, sunshield, deflectors, fuel tanks, headache racks, special turn light options, different headlights and headlight covers, air filters, trim options for windows, paintjobs, interior cab customisations and so so so much more; making it our biggest Tuning Pack to date!






We know how much our community loves to customise their rigs, so we've also made almost every exterior part paintable, giving you even more options! We really look forward to seeing how you get creative with this option; but that isn't all. To continue the celebration of 100 years of Kenworth, you'll also find a range of interior accessories such as toys, mugs, caps and more to have decorating your cabin.





Ever dreamt of creating and owning your own Show-worthy truck? Now you can with the option to add 'Show Truck' parts to your W900; such as rear fenders, front and rear bumpers and more! Along with these, you'll also find a variety of interior trims to match the exterior paint jobs, to help complete your rig's look. We look forward seeing you show these off to friends in convoy mode or at other virtual Truckfest events.




This massive undertaking doesn't go without credit to our teams behind the scenes who brought this all to life. From research, to modelling, to testing and everyone in-between, it really has been a labor of love and we are so happy to bring so many options to your garage.
