[p]In our previous blog, we gave you a glimpse into some of the cities featured in our upcoming Louisiana DLC for American Truck Simulator. Today, we’re back with Part 2, where we’ll explore four more locations that drivers will be able to visit and deliver to. From industrial ports to small border towns, let’s take a closer look at what awaits!

[/p][p]Lake Charles[/p][p]Situated in the southwest corner of Louisiana, Lake Charles is a dynamic blend of heavy industry and entertainment. Home to several chemical plants and oil refineries, it’s one of the state’s most important industrial centers. But there’s another side to the city, one lined with towering hotels and glitzy casinos, making it a magnet for nightlife and leisure.



Deliver to industrial giants such as the Oil Refinery or catch a glimpse of famous resorts and arcades. Whilst you won't be able to visit these entertainment establishments, our team have recreated them in detail, bringing some of these well known landmarks to life![/p][p]
DeRidder[/p][p]
Not far from the Texas border lies DeRidder, a charming small town surrounded by forests and known for its lumber and paper industries. While modest in size, its industrial presence is significant, and both the sawmill and paper mill here will play a role in your deliveries.


Players will also notice some of DeRidder’s most iconic landmarks, including the historic Gothic Jail, a rare piece of local architecture, and the Beauregard Parish Courthouse. The town's humble charm and regional character offer a slower pace compared to Louisiana’s larger cities—but that doesn’t mean there isn’t work to be done.

Port Fourchon[/p][p]
Port Fourchon isn’t a city in the traditional sense, it’s a sprawling industrial hub located at the southernmost tip of Louisiana. Known primarily for its role in the offshore oil and gas industry, the area is home to shipyards, oil terminals, and a busy river port, all of which are represented in the DLC.


Unlike other places in the state, Port Fourchon carries a rugged and weather-worn identity, having withstood multiple hurricanes over the years. This gave our team a unique opportunity to depict a less polished environment, reflective of the real-world challenges faced by this critical port.

Alexandria[/p][p]
Centrally located in the state, Alexandria is where many of Louisiana’s major highways, I-49, US-165, US-167, and US-71 intersect, making it a vital transportation hub for the state. For drivers, that means plenty of options when it comes to routes and cargo opportunities.


In the game, you'll traverse this logistical heartland while spotting local landmarks such as the large powerplant, several distinctive churches, and the broader urban area that has made Alexandria a regional connector for generations. Whether you’re passing through or making a delivery, it’s a key stop for any
