SCS Software has announced that American Truck Simulator will receive the Arkansas DLC on September 16th. Players will be able to cross state lines and choose whether to deliver to cities or the backcountry while enjoying some of the state’s natural gems. Players are encouraged to “explore every road” to find some hidden spots that might just be the ticket for a relaxing gaming session.
Pricing information is not available at the moment, though Steam users are invited to wishlist the DLC. If it follows the DLC pattern of earlier releases, players should be able to pick up a copy of Arkansas for about $12 once it’s released.
Developers have released a brand new trailer that showcases “The Natural State” in all its glory, from its city streets to its country roads.
