At last, we are ready to commit to an official release date of the first edition of American Truck Simulator; the game will hit digital and retail stores on February 3, 2016.
As the readers of our blog will no doubt know by now, this release will be just the first step on the road. A couple of trucks and the state of California that we are bringing you with the base game release is only a fraction of our grand vision - to cover all of North America eventually and to chase every relevant truck manufacturer for a license to allow us to include their trucks into the game.
Well, we have to set on the way, and this is where we start. Hold on tight!
Great news! Looking forward to Februrary 3!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christams Holidays SCS
Thanks for the release date for this game and I can't wait to play it
DeleteThanks for the release date for this game and I can't wait to play it
DeleteCurrently ETS2 is my most played game, so you can imagine i look forward to ATS , Thank you SCS , wonderfull job!
DeleteF. Dravin, dont worry SCS promised to not just Make DLC`s but also release Things through Patches. And as far is i remember they also mentioned States As being Partially part of the patches. So basically some may cost and others are free.
DeleteAwesome news!
ReplyDeleteSWEEEEEET! And I am glad you guys are doing it State by State. I'd rather have detailed smaller areas than something like Europe where everything looked the same no matter where you drove. Judging from the screenshots, though, I don;t see that happening with ATS :)
ReplyDeleteYes i agree. europe is made really bad. It needs redoing but they only think of the new generation. Sad :(
Delete"And I am glad you guys are doing it State by State."
DeleteI just hope there won't be 50 DLC's, 20 usd each :P
It's better than nothing...
DeleteI can see both sides of the fence for sure. I hope to not be shelling out for DLC on the level like Train Simulator does. I refuse to buy Train Sim's DLC because they charge as much for DLC as they do the base game ... actually a cople of their routes cost MORE than the game itself.
DeleteBut I definitely do not mind paying a bit additional for each state as long as it is themed to that state and quality. If we get a couple of states in and it all feels like the same state, then yeah I'll definitely be sad.
I hope SCS will be adding more North American content not in the shape of single state releases, but will instead do them in bundles, e.g. The rest of NW, Southern states, Midwest, etc.
DeleteDON'T FORGET CANADA DLC! :P
DeleteCan't wait till they eventually do Canada then. I want to see how they make my home look
DeleteAnd then have your truck get stuck in our lovely snow.
DeleteYes!! best news ever
ReplyDelete:O nice :D
ReplyDeleteHI MAX POWER (Kravaty)
DeleteSCS please do pre-order
ReplyDeleteThey aren't planning on it
DeleteI would buy if i see better physic, and sounds.. Not copied physic from ETS, and paste here, and we feel like driving vans
ReplyDeleteIt's a truck simulator,what do you expect?It's bound to be like ETS2...by the way,the sounds and physics in Ets2 are fine,I don't know what more each hater from this blog wants...
DeleteSimulator? Ehhh. I have doubt you don't known what "simulator" does exactly mean..
DeleteSo if the game have only real logos truck, suddenly becomes simulator?
So, everybody who critise the bad work from SCS is hater? Meh, i don't known what going with today people.. Everyone for him is hater.. Current truck physic fine... Ok, i also have doubt u never seen a truck in real life.
DeleteYou don't feel the weight in this game..
Its more like "arcade simulator American"
That's what the mods are for -_-
DeletePlease, go visit a play to Project Cars, Omsi Bus Simulator 2, and other cars/buses simulators and come back here and tell me what makes ETS or ATS simulators.. Maybe only truck logos? If I'm wrong, please correct me
Delete@Shaun...
DeleteYeah the game is always been based on mods...
SCS don't even need to work, modders will fix it.
A simply clean 4/10 without mods. :/ really
Do you know that people can enjoy the game without "feeling the weight"?It doesn't have to be exactly like the real to be a simulator...there are mods,use them if you aren't satisfied...At least the game exists,would it be better with nothing?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI do agree that Omsi 2 feels more real than ETS2, but that dosent mean ETS2 is a bad simulator. I'm quite familiar with trucks myself, and i would say that ETS2 dose represent the features pretty close to reality. Overall it is one of the better games who has "simulator" in the title.
DeleteI understand your point, but at what point does making the game too real take away from the fun? Maybe you, and about 5 other people in the world would like it to be so realistic that its like we are actually working as a truck driver. Well I like it the way it is now, I don't want a job, I want a game that I can enjoy. You sound like one of the jerks that give people a hard time on multiplayer if it takes them more than 30 seconds to park their trailer.
DeleteDie.
DeleteDo you come here just to be a whiney baby all the time. My very first game on PC was Live For speed , then rFactor and many other sim racing games. I was a backer for Project cars while it was being developed and I know all to well what a sim is because I have been playing sim racing and driving games with thirteen years. So I can confidentally say ETS 2 is a simulator for druck driving.

DeleteThis must be a clone of the guy that can't stop complain about SCS. They are complaining about the exact same thing...
DeleteHye Xenforo MacedoniaNS Shut the fuck up you cry baby no wounder SCS is coming out with it so soon is u could not shut the fuck up in letting them do their job
DeleteYou just made my day!!!
ReplyDeleteYay Stefan! :D

ReplyDeleteThank you! We wait.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this day to come now its offical
ReplyDeleteGreat timing there, SCS! :D Best birthday ever! :P

ReplyDeleteThat's true

ReplyDeletelooking forward to it
ReplyDeleteGreat!!! Good times ahead.
ReplyDeleteDobre wieści ... No to czekamy...
ReplyDeleteYeeh! Finally :D
ReplyDeleteHow much will be game price? 50-60 usd?
ReplyDeleteCurrently on Amazon UK, they're taking pre orders (and have been for a while) for £14.99 (about 22usd) So I would guess around that mark.
DeleteIt's not the 3rd of June 2023 :( ,but it's a good release date anyways...
ReplyDeleteAh, you funny dude ;)
DeleteNew trucks new maps and new paint jobs will be released on june 3rd 2023

ReplyDeleteok to fajnie wreście fajna gra
ReplyDeletedobre vijesti
ReplyDeleteHey Great news, hope that this game has got the radio call communication like the 18 wheels of steel. Can't Wait. Merry X-mass and a happy new year 2016. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteEnfim uma data, vamos em frente. Parabéns.
ReplyDeleteYou guys literally made my day! Thank you soooo much. I'm definitely buying the game as soon as it hits the stores!
ReplyDeleteI remember SCS as a developer of many quite boring and bad games like Haulin, American Long Haul, Extreme Trucker and German Truck Simulator for example. So the transformation which the company went from these poor games to current massive successful ETS2 with many people eagerly waiting ATS is awesome success for me. All best to you SCS. I'm proud that I am Czech and know that in our little country there is company with that potential. I can't wait to release. / Mnoho úspěchů při dokončování hry a doufám, že se s ATS definitivně zařadíte mezi top vývojářskou elitu, kam teď už určitě patříte.
ReplyDeleteI agree Lukas
Deletegood news but........i hope you will not sell my contry states by states
ReplyDeleteyê yê vui vãi nồi
ReplyDeleteI hope Rhode Island and Delaware won't cost as much as Texas when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteAh. We should expect a pricing per area coverage...
DeleteOr a pack with small states for the same price as the big ones
DeleteMerry Christmas and happy new year to all the people you too scs good job i was talking shit to get the release date of you scs but no hard feelings o.k scs
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Merry Christmas to all! :)
ReplyDeletePre-order Steam???
ReplyDeleteNo pre-orders
DeleteRelease date for American Truck Simulator is on FEBRUARY 3 6102 i guess i'm right yes FEBRUARY 3 6102
ReplyDeleteToo
ReplyDeleteBeta next week?
ReplyDeleteThere will be no beta
DeleteNice!!! Thx for your great works SCS!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat news!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it.
When can you pre-order it on Steam?
ReplyDeleteAny plans about collectors edition, like the ETS2 one?
ReplyDelete:DD YEAH' love scs but please hungarian paintjob on ets and ats ;) :D
ReplyDeleteSeriously?!?!... Who gives a shit about paintjobs! Fix other more important things, like actual sounds for all trucks, rain (& the dust when it rains! WTF is that about?), the list is very long. If you want a paintjob, make it yourself or use a MOD!!!
DeleteIf you want better rain and sound to all trucks.. Just mod it! Same thing.. We all think different! Just get it.
DeleteWe want pre orde.. I mean open beta to find bugs before release :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I see many "elitists" critisising this game as not enough simulator. Theese are the fans of unnamed graphically ancient MEGA bugged game that needs core i7 + nvidia titan to run properly. :) Keep crying on.
I would like more simulation/administration aspects though.
Just in time for my birthday ( feb 9th)!!
ReplyDeleteGreat new
ReplyDeleteFINALLY :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
ReplyDelete1st step is ready : 3 february

ReplyDeleteSplendid news! Thank you and keep up the excellent work SCS Software team.
ReplyDeleteAwesome news!!! Thanks SCS!
ReplyDeleteBest news this month. Very excited to exchange my FH for a VNL... if it's in the initial release, can't remember. Peterbilt if not I think.
ReplyDeleteFantastic news on the release... Come on the 3rd february 2016 ;) ...State by State is ok but lets not have the DLC too expensive else 52 (number of states) x £10 = £520 + base game = TOO EXPENSIVE !!!
ReplyDeletesome states are really small, we sould have around 20ish DLC's for USA, cause the smaller are going to be in bundles, like East Coast North DLC
DeleteI want free map, we pay for base game for california state only?. NO STATES DLC
DeleteRiivas Noiia true!!! That's exactly what i think.
DeleteOmg I have been waiting for this game forever best in news kve had in a while
ReplyDeleteWill there be ice roads
ReplyDelete+1000
DeleteAbout real brands of truck manufacturers :
ReplyDeleteI think real brands are cool but, on the other hand, that may be the reason we can not have too many upgrades to trucks because most of them are not " official" upgrades.
I don´t care if truck brand is "Majestic" if SCS can offer hundreds of upgrades or spare parts to that truck. It is great to see "Mercedes" logo and brand but when we go to customize this and all the other trucks, upgrades and spare parts are really bad, and that´s why modders have great trucks and those others, like me, who never use mods have trucks " like a virgin " ..... :)
+1 on your thoughts, this will give more excitement to players
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAt last, Now i can play in America, not only Europe :), I hope we get an attractive offer, for ETS2 Players
ReplyDeletemm went long to give out:/
ReplyDeleteSimply Beautiful, I been waiting for this to be release far to long. Thank you SCS for your hard work & dedication to make this happen.
ReplyDeleteawesome.
ReplyDeleteawesome.
ReplyDeleteFinally a OFFICIAL word from SCS instead of all these know-it-all drivers who don't know ****!!!! #ImReady
ReplyDeleteYeah
ReplyDeleteAnyone know if they will be making it easy to mod? Or easy to transfer mods from ETS2? I was hoping to see an official program from the devs to help mod creators.
ReplyDeleteHAIL TO THE KING, BABY! :)
ReplyDeleteI Wish it would Come Earlier
ReplyDelete*yells*FREAKING FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY after all those years of hype waiting!!!!! thank you SCS for finally a real date!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see a release date for ATS:California...
ReplyDeleteA couple of questions SCS:
- Is ATS following the same economy model as ETS2 ?
- Is the map designed on the same scale as ETS2 ?
- Does it come with dx11 support ?
- Are you going to release a free Demo like for ETS2 ?
Hope ATS map expansions will come out on a faster rate then ETS2( one at every 1.5 years ) and i hope the price of them will be lower then those for ETS2. North America is a big place and i dont plan on spending thousands of dollars on a out-dated game. We should get the other states either in a bundle or if they come as one on smaller price then SCandinavia or Going East.
Thank you !
There will be no demo
DeleteAre you SCS ?
DeleteI like how people talk without knowing...
DeleteSCS will make a demo avaiable at day 0
1-probably yes
Delete2-the map will be at a lower scale with more detail, theres 20 cities in california instead of like 20 countries on whole scandinavia for example
3-not at release
4-yes
Just watch what you say too, just look at the company behind farming sim, there was a demo for 2013, and then for 2015 there was nothin at all...
DeleteSCS themselves said there will be a demo, don't come at me with theories
DeleteDont plan on buying ats just yet. I will wait and see how it evolves, maybe you can make a free demo so i can see how it is.
ReplyDeleteMaybe just get the free pirate version and see how it is.
Demo will be avaiable at day 0...
DeleteLOL you are on SCS blog saying you will pirate their game, what a scumbag
again all haters to can't let SCS do their Job in making a good game
DeleteI Drove A W900L Truck In Real Life So I Can't Wait For The Long W900L KW With The 53' Trailers :) Anyone Else Drive Or Use To Drive For A Living ?
ReplyDeleteThe Interior wont be the same like it was in real life it well look like this http://www.atsmodsland.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ATS-trucks-interior-by-ATS-team-8.jpg
DeleteDon't look to bad Timothy, wish it look more like the real thing or close to it, instead of the flat dashboard look.
DeleteReally looking forward to playing this great job scs
ReplyDeleteo ce kas
ReplyDeletekaip ce veike
ReplyDeleteI just hope doesn't cost more than $25-$30
ReplyDeleteIt's only $19.99! But wait there's more! Order now and receive another copy free of charge, just pay for shipping! Just joking its probably going to be $59.99!
DeleteWooHoo, can't wait
ReplyDeleteThis game will unlock in approximately 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days and 11 hours
ReplyDeleteoh close to play my fav gameeeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks scsssssss i love uuuuuuuuuuu
scs please release the game with cheap price please :(
ReplyDeleteI will definitely NOT buy this game at release...maybe never! SCS dissapointed us with poor quality of ETS2 and lot of trivial and unimportant stuff (paintjobs, unreal physics for them and for entire truck...poor rendered particle system(dust) , no posibility to spend more money on secondary stuff like garage upgrading(visual), ugly curtains in the expensive Accesories DLC and ignore the real demands and "must have" like multiple point deliveries, tandems, optimize the shitty "Inexistent" economy, all the Companies Bases are looking the same everywhere...)
ReplyDeleteNice news to read before the weekend! Keep the great work. Can't wait for pre-order and of course release!
ReplyDeleteJust a little off-topic tho... Y'all are working (and almost finishing) ATS, but didn't stop releasing stuff for ETS2. So are there any plans about still expanding the map? Mainly asking about the rest of Italy and France, and adding Ireland, Spain, Portugal and other East Europe countries.
(I know there are mods for that, but I'd love to see something official, maybe even working with the mod releasers)
awesome notice, i'm really excited for this Simulator, please don't forget Mexico, and principaly the state of Sonora, Baja california, Chihuahua and all the north of Mexico please!
ReplyDeletepero es gratis por favor
ReplyDeletewhat about time zones on USA? will you stick with the time zone of youri starting city, change with the timezone of where you are at or what will you make?? it will be unrealistic if there was no difference because at 7pm california theres sun, but in new york at the same time it's 10pm and it's night
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete" to cover all of North America eventually" Shouldn't it be renamed as, "North American Truck Simulator" then? lol, can't wait for it SCS Software!
ReplyDeletelol but south america is where brazil is so haha i dont think it should be called that lol
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteExcellent! Please find Eureka too. (Pun intended...)
ReplyDeletebiggest think i feels ets2 lacks is if you take you're foot off the clutch the truck should lug out and idel away with out needing throttle.
ReplyDeletebut i know the real volvos, man, so on dont do that and i guess why they made it euro spec but still another option that would make better.
you cant feel the weight of the trailer... I think it needs bit more attention to detail in the small things. i do look fowards too this but hopefully the trucks feel more real..
You don't see very many Man trucks in California. We do have some cool Volvos though.
DeleteOnly 6 weeks and a few days to go. It will be interesting to see how the World of Trucks website ties ATS with ETS2.
ReplyDelete
