California State Overhaul - Coming in the Next Patch

The developers of American Truck Simulator have shared information about their plans to completely rebuild California. This has become possible thanks to the expansion of the map-building team, which allowed them to work on a larger number of projects with proper effort. Here are some details that the developers promised to overhaul in the upcoming California rework update:

• The first thing to be redone will be all the cities. The global reconstruction will allow the cities to be rebuilt according to their current realities, so they match their real-life counterparts.
• From the first point, it is clear that new objects will be added, and in large quantities. 
• Agricultural management is moving to a new level, which implies new control points.
• The road surface will also undergo rework.

Equally important, the new update will be completely free if you already own the game. However, the ATS developers do not want to release everything in one big update, so there will be stages, and medium-sized updates will be released gradually. The date is unknown; the developers have a huge amount of work ahead, but as soon as there is an approximate date, they will definitely announce it.

They specifically highlighted new border control points. This means that now drivers with cargo will have to undergo inspection. This is done to combat pests, so the first thing will be checking the cargo for contamination. In addition, proper documentation will be required. Everything works as simply as possible – drivers receive a notification, stop, the inspection takes place, and only after that is the green light given.

That’s all the information the developers shared. We await further updates!
