SCS Software has confirmed that the Iceland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 launches on November 10, 2026, just after the 1.62 update. After more than a year of previews, here’s the full picture.

What’s in the box: 14 cities and settlements, including Reykjavík and Akureyri, linked by the Ring Road. Expect famous stops like Jökulsárlón, Goðafoss, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Geysir and Þingvellir, plus narrow single-lane bridges where you yield to oncoming traffic.

New work: custom farms, quarries and a silica factory in Húsavík, along with Keflavík’s fishing-town depots.

Atmosphere: the Northern Lights can show up in the sky, and daylight hours follow the real Icelandic calendar.

How we got here: announced June 2025, followed by previews of churches, the Ring Road, coastline, Keflavík, Akureyri, depots, fjords, scenic viewpoints and a first gameplay drive from Seyðisfjörður to Goðafoss.

Leaked Map:

Cities visible in the photo

  • West and Westfjords: Ísafjörður, Patreksfjörður, Hólmavík, Ólafsvík, Borgarnes
  • Southwest: Keflavík, Reykjavík, Selfoss
  • North: Blönduós, Akureyri, Húsavík, Þórshöfn
  • East and southeast: Egilsstaðir, Höfn

What else the map shows

  • Route 1 (the Ring Road) runs around the whole island. The map also has secondary roads such as 30 to 41 in the southwest, 54 to 62 in the west and Westfjords, 85 in the northeast, and 92 and 93 in the east.
  • Anchor icons mark ports or ferry points near Patreksfjörður, Ólafsvík and the south coast near Selfoss.
  • Camera icons are scattered along the coast and the Ring Road. Together with the “Tourist Jobs” tab at the bottom, they look like sightseeing and viewpoint spots.
  • There are fuel stations and service points in nearly every town, plus a few stops along the quieter southeast stretch toward Höfn.
  • The Westfjords are a maze of fjord roads, which matches the “fjords define how roads are built” angle from SCS’s fjords preview.
  • The Highlands in the center are empty, so the map sticks to the coastal and Ring Road network.

American Truck Simulator continues its expansion into the American Midwest, and one of the most anticipated upcoming map expansions is the Illinois DLC. This new state will bring players to the heart of the U.S. transportation network, featuring major cities, iconic highways, and a diverse economy centered around agriculture, industry, and logistics.

SCS Software revealed official date of release – May, 14 – 2026 as well as official video trailer.

Welcome to the Prairie State

The Illinois DLC was officially announced in February 2025. The state is often called the Prairie State, known for its vast farmland, historic towns, and one of the most important transportation hubs in the United States.

In ATS, Illinois will allow players to:

  • Drive along historic routes such as Route 66
  • Explore the state capital Springfield
  • Visit the massive metropolitan area of Chicago
  • Travel through agricultural regions and industrial corridors

The state sits in a key geographic position connecting the Midwest with the rest of the country, which makes it an important logistics hub both in real life and in the game.

Cities Expected in the Illinois DLC

According to teasers and previews, Illinois will include a mix of major cities and smaller towns. The currently known or expected cities include:

  • Chicago
  • Springfield
  • Peoria
  • Champaign
  • Bloomington
  • Rockford
  • Quincy
  • Effingham
  • Marion
  • East St. Louis
  • Moline

These locations will allow players to experience a mix of large metropolitan areas, mid-sized industrial cities, and smaller agricultural communities.

Detailed City Previews

Peoria

One of the cities already showcased by SCS is Peoria, located along the Illinois River.

In ATS, the city will include:

  • Industrial depots related to heavy equipment manufacturing
  • A custom river port depot
  • Scenic riverfront driving routes
  • Connections via Interstate 74 and US Route 24

Peoria’s strong manufacturing heritage and river logistics will play an important role in the cargo economy of the region.

Champaign

Another previewed city is Champaign, part of the Champaign-Urbana metropolitan area.

Highlights expected in ATS include:

  • University-inspired landmarks and buildings
  • A recognizable downtown skyline
  • Agricultural industries such as corn and soybean farming
  • Depots like food processing plants, warehouses, and retail stores

The region will represent the agricultural heart of Illinois, providing a variety of cargo opportunities for players.

Smaller Towns and Settlements

In addition to the main cities, the Illinois DLC will feature at least 11 smaller settlements. These towns help make the map feel more realistic and provide additional road connections and scenery.

One example shown by the developers is Monmouth, a historic agricultural town in western Illinois near the Iowa border.

These settlements will likely include:

  • Small agricultural communities
  • Scenic rural roads
  • Truck stops and service areas

Industries and Cargo

Illinois is one of the most economically diverse states in the U.S., and the DLC will reflect that with a wide range of industries.

Expected cargo sectors include:

  • Agriculture (corn, soybeans, farm supplies)
  • Food processing
  • Manufacturing and heavy equipment
  • Logistics and warehousing
  • River and rail transportation

The state is also known for its role in national exports and manufacturing, making it a natural fit for ATS freight operations.

Roads and Truck Stops

Developers have already teased several truck stops and highway facilities located across the state, including rest areas near:

  • Peoria
  • Rockford
  • Effingham
  • Rend Lake

These locations will provide realistic rest areas for long-distance trucking routes through the Midwest.

Illinois is expected to feature major interstate connections, including corridors linking the state with neighboring DLC regions.

Final Thoughts

The Illinois DLC represents an important step in the eastward expansion of American Truck Simulator. With major logistics hubs like Chicago, historic highways like Route 66, and a mix of industry and agriculture, the Prairie State has the potential to become one of the most interesting regions in the game.

Illinois looks like a promising addition to the growing ATS map.
