new state New State

Anybody hyped about the new state?

[Zuna]

Explain a little bit?

You are referring to a rumor that the next state of ATS is going to be New Mexico, If so i was hoping that the map would be expanded to the north instead of the south.

I think he means the map expansion of the ATS map with new states.

 

I wouldn't get too hyped up about all of this yet because the map rescaling is still in beta, so it might take a while.

Welp, no official word has come from SCS on the new state; it is all just speculation at the moment.

 

And also, I wouldn't be expecting it anytime soon. They haven't even released the official game update for the rescale first. 

 

Also, there will likely be bugs with the rescale, that is the point of an open beta so then they can iron out any bugs that the closed beta-testers missed out so we will have to wait for that.

Someone from SCS has already posted on this forum that there will not be a new map coming out this year, but the rescale is basically done.

No new content this year as scs just barely completed the rescale.  Let's focus on that then look to fresh new content next year sometime.

Thats right they don't need to rush it. Let's see where the rescale brings us at least we are busy with testing that for now

SCS has not confirmed anything but if one of their past blog posts can hint at anything is that the next state to be added should be Oregon. I can't find it right now but I recall a post from them, made shortly after ATS's release, stating that they want to expand to the north soon because of the Paccar factory located in the state of Washington, implying that they want to add the factory itself in-game as they have done with Volvo and Scania's on ETS2. Since Washington is all the way up north, the addition of Oregon first is a must. It is true that there is a very long road stretching out of Arizona and into what is supposed to be New Mexico, though I wouldn't really say that really is much of an evidence (if we can even call it that). After all, California also has a good portion of road heading towards Oregon and Nevada too owns a road that goes north. So yeah, I believe that so far, it is more likely that Oregon will come first. Though only SCS can tell. But first the rescale needs to be finished. 2017 is promising for ATS!
