There are jobs to haul across all sorts of industries, as ever, and quite lot of sights to stop and gander at.

Help us celebrate tomorrow, September 7th, as we release our new Wyoming DLC, by taking part in our latest World Of Trucks event - Cruising Wyoming! Journey through this dynamic and awe-inspiring state of wild beauty, dominated by the Rocky Mountain rangelands and High Plains, while contributing to its rich economy.



We are asking our #BestCommunityEver to achieve the community goal of driving 80,000,000 miles (128,747,520 km) while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Wyoming.

While you are #CrusingWyoming, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in some of its key industries, transporting cargoes such as livestock and agriculture products, as well as materials that support the rail, mineral, mining, and chemical industries. Wyoming also offers plenty of new viewing platforms, designed with bespoke cinematic cutscenes, highlighting the attractions of that area. Some of these are:

• Big Horn National Forest, the Bighorn Mountains are a sister range of the Rocky Mountains.
• Grand Teton National Park, described as Mountains of the Imagination.
• Devils Tower, standing nearly 900 feet tall, is a popular tourist and climbing attraction.
• Hell's Half Acre, a geologic curiosity composed of deep ravines, caves, rock formations, and eroded earth.

And, once again, you can use your own trailer during all of this in the external market!

Wyoming DLC has 10 terrific new cities to visit, and we are offering a special reward for completing your personal goal, which will require you to deliver a job to or from each of them. All jobs for the event need to be 100 miles each (161 km) or more and don't forget to check out the rules.

Wyoming, The Equality State, is our latest addition to American Truck Simulator. Know that as you fuel up and prepare for this new adventure, we'll be right there with you in spirit. We're really looking forward to learning about your journeys in this amazingly wild, diverse, and beautiful state.

When a player completes delivery to or from each of the 10 Wyoming cities, they will achieve their personal goal.

All jobs for the event need to be at least 100 miles each (161 km), or more.

You can check if your recent deliveries met these conditions using your Log Book in your World of Trucks profile.

The event will be concluded on Sunday the 7th of November at 23:59 UTC.

One of the nicknames that we have yet to mention when talking about the state that will be arriving in the upcoming map expansion is "Big Wyoming". While Wyoming has earned this nickname due to its 10th largest area by landmass out of all 50 states, today we will do our best to make fans of this particular nickname proud in our own way and share with you some BIG news regarding the new DLC.



What could possibly be so big to justify us writing such an introduction? First of all, with the release of the new map expansion, new content is coming to the Special Transport DLC as well! With the intention of enhancing your experience as much as possible, our team managed to find the time to bring these three Special Transport routes to Wyoming that you can look forward to conquering:

[h3]Riverton to Jackson (Yellowstone)
Laramie to Rawlins
Casper to Gillette[/h3]



Secondly, perhaps it's time to admit to some "heavy conversation" we had internally over an aspect of the DLC. With a somewhat heavy heart, originally we had not planned to include the Yellowstone National Park, as it's not open to trucks for through traffic. But as the release got closer, we have started receiving more and more input from the fan community suggesting that we should reconsider. Eventually, we decided that we should add an extra couple of weeks of production time and figure out a way for players to access the region. You may have noticed a small "confirmation" on our message board for all the speculations on the inclusion of Yellowstone as posted here.

In the real world, semi-trucks are prohibited from passing through the national park, the region is protected from heavy traffic. But surely, there may be valid reasons for specific cargo to get in or out of the park when needed, possibly with a special permit issued by an appropriate local government agency. So while our in-game navigation should never route you through the park on long-haul jobs, we decided that we a bit of an artistic license we can deliver specific cargoes in or out of Yellowstone.

In the initial implementation, we are going to cover only a part of the national park, though it's quite likely that eventually, we may look into extending at least Road 89 towards Montana when the time is right. For players who want to explore Yellowstone, you may take advantage of one of the Special Transport options, where the regional authority will task you with delivering a large helicopter of the type used to fight wildfires.



Hopefully, you’ve already seen our official announcement of the release date for Wyoming DLC. If by any chance you’ve missed it, you can visit the blog post which also features an absolutely marvelous video trailer, and don’t forget to add Wyoming to your Steam wishlist once you check it all out!
