Overview

A recent teaser from SCS Software for American Truck Simulator featured the sound of a revving engine that resembled a pickup truck rather than the typical large truck sounds. This hinted at an exciting change in gameplay direction.

New Features

According to a blog post from SCS Software, the new Road Trip mode will enable players to explore the landscapes of ATS not just from the cabin of a large truck but also the driver’s seat of smaller vehicles, such as high-performance pickups or sports cars.

“Enjoy the vast landscapes of ATS not only from the cab of an 18-wheeler but also from behind the wheel of, say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car.”

Translation: Enjoy the vast landscapes of ATS not only from the cab of a large truck but also from behind the wheel of, say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car.

This mode promises to provide players with new driving tasks and opportunities to explore the environment, including discovering landmarks and appreciating the scenery.

Development Assurance

SCS Software assures fans of the traditional gameplay that this new project will not hinder the ongoing development of the core game. The company is committed to continuing the expansion of new maps, trucks, and trailers.
