American Truck Simulator: Illinois is currently in development and therefore unavailable to purchase.

The Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator is a forthcoming map expansion developed and published by SCS Software. A blog post dated February 11, 2025 officially confirmed its development, placing it alongside other states like Missouri, Iowa, and Louisiana in the rollout schedule for new expansions. As of now, no official release date has been announced, though SCS is known for revealing release dates once they are close to launch.

This expansion will bring to life the Prairie State with a convincing mix of urban and rural landscape features. Players can look forward to iconic Route 66, the vibrant cityscape of Chicago on Lake Michigan’s shore, and small-town charm in places like Quincy, Rockford, and Marion. The region’s diverse economic activity—ranging from agriculture and manufacturing to logistics through Chicago’s rail hubs and O’Hare International Airport—promises a wide variety of cargo types and delivery opportunities.

In terms of gameplay, Illinois will present unique driving environments and challenges. Long-haul trucking along the Mississippi River, rolling farmlands, industrial zones, and urban inner-city delivery through Chicago are all expected to feature heavily. Supporting this, developers have shared glimpses of truck stops, highway layouts, and landmarks via blog updates and teaser imagery, enhancing anticipation of rich, regionally specific content.

Promotion for the Illinois DLC has been gradual and community-driven. SCS Software introduced the expansion via their official blog with a wave of posts detailing features such as truck stops, settlements, and city previews which encouraged community engagement and speculation. While still awaiting release, the expansion has already generated enthusiasm among fans, who appreciate the meticulous attention to geographic detail and the thoughtful recreation of Illinois’s economic and physical character.
