Iowa is coming
Hawkeye State will have its representation in American Truck Simulator and it will be very soon. You’ve already seen sneak peek video and additionally SCS released Iowa gameplay footage which means that new DLC is on the way.

We also have 4 hidden achievements for Iowa in Steam (The Hawkeye State, Piggy Express, Golden Acres Explorer and Madison County Bridge). So we have chance to see the new expansion on next version of the game – 1.55 is still not even on the open beta and it could be final release right before Iowa DLC in the June or July. And it means that we have one DLC per version since Missouri released in 1.54 (Arkansas was on 1.52, while on 1.53 we have seen big California rework). Good pacing. Together with another early revealed state (probably South Dakota, but can be combined Dakotas bundle) we have 4 DLCs work-in-progress.

We also can assume cities that would be in Iowa DLC. Count of 12. My family lived in Des Moines (Urbandale) and I know a little about capital city area but nothing more. Another relatively big cities are Cedar Rapids and Davenport. The rest are really small towns, Iowa not a bit state anyway. But we are sure that SCS will do its best to show all the state’s atmosphere.
American Truck Simulator: 2025 Video Trailer
SCS wrote in their blog: It’s incredible to think how far American Truck Simulator has come since its original release in 2016. From its humble beginnings in California with just a handful of trucks and states, the game has grown into a vast, immersive virtual world enjoyed by millions of players across the globe.
Over the years, developers introduced a wide range of features and improvements, both big and small, that have helped shape American Truck Simulator into what it is today. With updates including a complete UI overhaul and a new weather and lighting system, an updated gallery, the introduction of city intros, viewpoints, new cargoes, loads of new trucks, the Convoy multiplayer mode and more; ATS has continued to evolve with every update.
