American Truck Simulator developer SCS software gave its hugely passionate community a massive fright on Friday (31st January 2025).
The Czech studio published a YouTube video titled ‘Reaching the End’, but far from being a portent of doom, it was simply a teaser of the game’s next batch of content.
The video shows a big rig pulling out of a layby, firstly revealing a tranquil countryside setting but more importantly a road sign reading ‘End Historic US Route 66 296 Mi’.
This almost certainly means that Illinois will feature in ATS’ upcoming DLC plans, considering it’s the only State to feature Route 66 that isn’t already in-game. Illinois is also the eastern endpoint of the historic highway, ending in its most populated city, Chicago.
Route 66 is 2,448 miles long and terminates in Santa Monica to the west. It also incorporates the States of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, all of which are available as DLC packs for ATS.
