The release of the American Truck Simulator: New Mexico map expansion is drawing closer, as SCS Software staff have repeatedly told us before. Just recently, the developers released a
promo trailer for the expansion, and today the
official expansion page appeared on the Steam digital distribution service.
There is no exact release date or price yet; there is only a note that the expansion is expected before the end of this year, as previously promised by the developers. Besides this, on the page we can see the features of the New Mexico expansion:
- Over 4,000 miles of new roads;
- 14 major cities in the state, including Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Roswell;
- 11 unique rest and refueling stops;
- More than 600 new models and assets created from scratch;
- Unique and realistic interchanges, intersections, and highway crossings specially designed for the expansion;
- 8 new loading/unloading zones with new companies and industries;
- Unique landmarks, both natural and man-made;
- Unique achievements related to the New Mexico expansion.
Discover the subtle beauty of New Mexico’s landscape. Its nickname – “Land of Enchantment” – fits perfectly. Many unique natural landscapes will accompany you throughout all your freight hauls; no trip will be the same.
Drive through urban areas like Albuquerque, sparsely populated trading posts, and stop for rest in the middle of deserts, lush forests, and mountain ranges. New Mexico offers a lot in terms of landscape diversity. Cross the Rio Grande, visit the Carson National Forest, Baylor Peak, Pyramid Rock, and other natural landmarks.
Spend the night, rest, refuel, and repair your truck at one of the many unique truck stops along New Mexico’s highways. Enjoy the red sunsets as you pass by recognizable monumental rock formations.
New Mexico is the fifth largest state by area and the 36th most populous in the USA. This corner state has a diverse character that includes deserts, high plains, and mountains. The climate is generally semi-arid and arid because there is very little water in New Mexico.
By the way, the
open beta testing of the 1.29 update for American Truck Simulator is currently underway.
