Discover the Charm of the Pacific Northwest in ATS - Oregon

Truck enthusiasts and road-trip aficionados are in for another immersive driving experience with the release of the "American Truck Simulator - Oregon" expansion. Developed by SCS Software, this highly anticipated DLC expands the game's horizons into the picturesque landscapes and economic opportunities of the Beaver State. Whether you're a seasoned hauler or a virtual tourist, the Oregon DLC offers an array of content that enriches the core gameplay of the original American Truck Simulator.

New Terrains and Economies to Explore

The DLC opens up 14 new cities for players, including Salem, Portland, and Eugene, weaving them together with over 5,000 miles of new roads to ensure a trucking experience that's both vast and varied. The smaller scale of Oregon compared to previous in-game states does not detract from the detail and density of the content it offers. Players will encounter new rest stops, gas stations, and service shops, all meticulously modeled after their real-life counterparts.

Named landmarks like the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and Crater Lake are featured, giving virtual truck drivers touristic goals aside from their cargo deliveries. With the addition of twenty-four new roads, including five Interstate Highways and a historic highway, there are plenty of routes to explore for entertainment or efficiency.

New Industries and Job Dynamics

SCS Software has also infused Oregon's local economy into the game with new industries such as logging and furniture manufacturing. In sync with these industries, a new Chain system has been formulated, reflecting the authentic wood production process in Oregon. This system engages players in a complete cycle—from transporting logs from the forests to delivering finished goods to various outlets—adding depth to the vocational aspect of the game.

Robust Graphical and Gameplay Foundation

The superb graphics and fluid controls for which American Truck Simulator is known have been applied seamlessly to the Oregon expansion. The trucks, landscapes, and architectural representations continue to impress with their high fidelity to reality, ensuring that players remain immersed in their virtual profession.

Despite the praiseworthy inclusion of these details, some iconic Oregon landmarks have been left out. However, considering the broad spectrum of what is included, the level of detail provided in those areas is commendable and contributes to a rich trucking atmosphere.

Conclusion: A Trip Worth Taking

All in all, "American Truck Simulator - Oregon" is a comprehensive and inviting expansion that offers enough new features, sights, and economic chains to refresh and delight both old and new players alike. Its carefully crafted representation of the scenic state of Oregon adds a significant volume of content to an already robust game, ensuring that the journey across America’s roads remains engaging and enjoyable.
