A little over a month after the arrival of its Nebraska DLC, American Truck Simulator has set its sights on a new destination, with SCS Software announcing Iowa - AKA the Corn State AKA the Hawkeye State - as the latest expansion in the works for its vehicular trundling sim.

Since launching back in 2016, American Truck Simulator has - through its gradual succession of DLC releases - made its way across California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. Arkansas and Missouri are up next, with the newly announced Iowa to follow. That leaves a couple of holes in the map as SCS continues its west-to-east sweep across the US, but presumably the studio will get around to Louisiana and the Dakotas eventually.

Anyway, Iowa! "The Hawkeye State is a blend of natural beauty, rich agricultural heritage, and vibrant cities steeped in culture and history," explains SCS on Iowa's newly launched Steam page. "If you take the time to explore, you'll find Iowa is home to many unique landmarks, which we encourage you to discover and even take a photo or two."

American Truck Simulator's determined trundle across the picturesque highways and byways of the United States continues this week with the launch of its latest paid expansion - and 15th explorable state - Nebraska, on 16th May.

Nebraska was revealed to be in the works last August, bringing American Truck Simulator's current tally of confirmed explorable states up to 17. Since its release in 2016, the trucking sim has expanded to include California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The arrival of Nebraska this week brings us up to 15 states, and developer SCS has already announced Arkansas and Missouri are on the way.

Staying with Nebraska, though, SCS describes it thusly: "Located in the heart of the Great Plains, Nebraska's vast and diverse landscape consists of prairies, rolling hills, and the crucial Platte River. While hauling cargo through the Cornhusker State along historic routes, you will have many opportunities to witness iconic landmarks and truly immerse yourself in the state's spirit, from its pioneer history to the modern energy of cities full of ever-growing industries."
