American Truck Simulator News

[p]Our SCS On The Road series continues with another exciting stop connected to our upcoming RAM & Dodge Car Pack DLC for American Truck Simulator as a part of the broader Road Trip project. This time, we had the privilege of spending the day with a truly iconic piece of American muscle - the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody.[/p][p][/p][p]Known for its aggressive stance, wide fenders, and unmistakable sound, the Challenger Hellcat Widebody is more than just a car; it’s an experience. To bring that experience authentically into our projects, we had the honor of recording the vehicle’s raw and powerful sounds firsthand. From the deep rumble at idle to the unmistakable roar under acceleration, every detail was captured for future use in our games.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]But sound recording was just one part of our day. We also took the chance to do a detailed walk-around of the vehicle, capturing reference material that will help our team recreate this legend as faithfully as possible.[/p][p]We’d like to extend a big thank you to Marek, the proud owner of this Dodge Challenger Hellcat, for lending us his valuable time. Not only did he allow us to record the car in action, but we also had a friendly chat about his experience owning such a remarkable machine and his passion for cars in general. Be sure to check out more of Marek’s awesome content on his Instagram or their YouTube channel - just a heads-up, it’s in Czech.[/p][p]Be sure to add the RAM & Dodge Car Pack for American Truck Simulator to your Steam Wishlist today!

This project is growing throughout our entire company and continues to bring a lot of new developments and challenges to many of our departments. Rest assured that we will keep sharing more updates on this project as it progresses. Now, without further ado, we'll let our colleagues give you a glimpse behind the scenes.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]We hope you have enjoyed this dev talk about our consoles project. If you're excited to hit the road on consoles, be sure to add ETS2 and ATS to your wishlist on your preferred platform.

[p]You will come across some really wonderful settlements in the Mount Rushmore State. In today's blog, we would like to show you some of them as our map designers are preparing these smaller towns for the upcoming South Dakota DLC for American Truck Simulator.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Belle Fourche[/h3][p]This town of just about 5,000 inhabitants is located on the western border of the state, near both Montana and Wyoming, and not too far from North Dakota, which makes it a regional trade center for people from these surrounding states. It holds the distinction of being the center of the nation because when Hawaii was admitted to the Union in 1959, its landmass – added to the landmass of the continental U.S. – shifted the geographic center approximately 20 miles north of Belle Fourche.[/p][p][/p][h3]Faith[/h3][p]This town is located in the northwest of South Dakota, just on the border of the Cheyenne River Reservation. Truckers passing through this rural settlement will be able to spot a local church, a fossil museum, or a metal dinosaur statue, all currently being recreated as landmarks by our asset and map designers.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Huron[/h3][p]Nestled in east-central South Dakota within the Glacial Lakes and Prairies Region, Huron sits along the scenic James River, an area rich in natural history. Travelers passing through will also find the town's famous landmark - the World's Largest Pheasant statue.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Interior[/h3][p]With fewer than 70 residents, Interior may be one of South Dakota's tiniest towns, but it shouldn't be overlooked. Established in the 1880s, it's the oldest community in the Badlands and serves as a gateway to the sweeping, rugged beauty of Badlands National Park.[/p][p][/p][h3]Murdo[/h3][p]Situated just off I-90, east of Interior, Murdo embodies the spirit of the Wild West through its cowboy-themed events and historic attractions. The town is also home to a remarkable museum featuring more than 200 classic cars - and we paid tribute to that heritage with our own recreation of one of the town's landmarks: a distinctive green vintage automobile.[/p][p][/p][h3]Timber Lake[/h3][p]Timber Lake sits along the Native American Scenic Byway, a route that showcases sweeping views of the Missouri River and the region's untamed, rugged landscapes. It is also nestled along the bank of the beautiful Timber Lake, so keep your eyes peeled for some scenic surroundings when you are driving in those parts![/p][p][/p][h3]White River[/h3][p]Located south of Murdo along U.S. Route 83, White River is a small community of just over 500 residents. Named after the nearby Little White River, the town is a gateway to outdoor adventure, offering excellent fishing and hunting opportunities, along with a strong cowboy culture that's celebrated through local traditions and events.[/p][p][/p][h3]Valentine[/h3][p]Although Valentine is already a city in our Nebraska DLC, its location near the northern border makes it a natural fit for expansion. With the South Dakota DLC, we're extending the city further north to include several notable landmarks. This approach - expanding border towns when introducing a new map DLC - is a common practice that helps create a more seamless and immersive experience.[/p][p][/p][p]And that's all for today! If we got you excited about this map expansion, make sure to add the South Dakota DLC to your Steam wishlist!

[p]We’re thrilled to release the KRONE Agriculture Equipment DLC for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator! This latest addition expands your job roster with a powerful line-up of officially licensed, KRONE-branded farming machinery.


KRONE is a global leader in high-performance agricultural equipment. From mowers and balers to forage harvesters and wagons, their machines form the backbone of modern farming. But productivity doesn’t stop in the fields, these machines rely on truckers to deliver them where they’re needed, making drivers an essential link in the agricultural sector.

Both of these DLCs feature new cargo types, including large-scale agricultural machines such as harvesters, balers, rakes, and mowers, all meticulously modelled by our Vehicles Team with a high level of detail. Each machine is transported on specialized trailers, which will offer drivers a fresh delivery challenge, no matter which side of the Atlantic you truck on.

[p]Alongside these new cargoes, we are also introducing a selection of KRONE-themed accessories for both ETS2 and ATS, which you can use to decorate your cabin interior and proudly display your support for this legendary brand. [/p][p][/p][p]

To celebrate this release, we are also introducing a special bundle that allows you to purchase both the ETS2 and ATS versions of the KRONE Agriculture Equipment DLC for the price of one. This is the perfect opportunity for players who enjoy driving between both continents to expand their cargo options and enjoy the full scope of what this collaboration has to offer. Check it out on the Steam Store by clicking here! [/p][p] We would like to extend a special thanks to Ingo Schoppe from KRONE Marketing, whose support, dedication, and expertise were invaluable throughout the development of this project. His guidance helped ensure that the machinery was represented as accurately as possible.[/p][p]
We hope you enjoy hauling KRONE Agriculture Equipment across Europe and America, and we look forward to seeing your screenshots and stories from the road. Be sure to share them with both us and KRONE on our official Social Media Channels. Until next time, keep on truckin’!

[p]Every year, October brings communities together worldwide to stand in solidarity and raise awareness in the battle against breast cancer. Pinktober, marked by the iconic pink ribbon, stands as a reminder of unity, strength, and the importance of knowledge. This campaign also serves as a crucial call for all of us to take better care of ourselves and to spread awareness among everyone.[/p][p][/p][p]Recognizing the signs and being proactive about health can make all the difference. Regular self-checks, staying informed, and scheduling professional screenings are some of the most effective steps we can take in protecting ourselves against breast cancer. Sharing these habits and encouraging others to follow them helps strengthen our communities and brings us closer to a healthier future together.[/p][p]Supporting Through Driving[/p][p]Since 2019, we at SCS Software have proudly stood with our community to support this important cause. Each year, through the sales of our special Pink Ribbon Charity Pack DLCs for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, we’ve worked together to make a tangible difference.[/p][p]Just as in previous years, 100% of the income from these DLCs will be collected and donated to the Alliance of Women with Breast Cancer, our chosen charity partner, at the end of October. Thanks to your incredible support in past Pinktober events, we’ve been able to contribute directly to their mission of helping and empowering those impacted by breast cancer.[/p][p]If you haven’t yet added these DLCs to your collection, or if you’d like to surprise a friend with a thoughtful gift, now is the perfect time. Not only will you be adding some meaningful flair to your trucks with the vibrant Pink Ribbon designs, but you’ll also be directly supporting a great cause.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]More Than Just Awareness[/p][p]While customizing your trucks and spreading the word is a wonderful way to show solidarity, we also encourage you to focus on the most important aspect of Pinktober: your health.[/p]

• [p]Take the time to perform regular self-checks.[/p]
• [p]Stay informed about potential symptoms and risk factors.[/p]
• [p]Visit your doctor for regular screenings and professional advice.[/p]

[p]These small but vital actions can make a big difference in prevention and early detection, and they are the best tools we have in fighting breast cancer effectively.[/p][p]Share and Inspire [/p][p]We’d love to see your support on the road! Decorate your trucks with the Pink Ribbon designs and share your screenshots on social media using the hashtag #Pinktober2025. By doing so, you’ll not only spread awareness but also inspire others to join the cause and contribute in their own way.[/p][p]We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to every player who has supported Pinktober in past years. Your generosity and participation help save lives, raise awareness, and support those directly affected by breast cancer. Together, let’s make Pinktober 2025 another month of unity, awareness, and hope.[/p][p]Drive safe, stay healthy, and thank you for being part of this journey with us.[/p]
