The cities of Los Angeles and San Diego are being rebuilt from the ground up with the 1.53 update for American Truck Simulator. The SCS Software team announced that with the 1.53 update, they have moved to phase 4 of the California rework project. Now, screenshots have been shared for Los Angeles and San Diego, two major cities rebuilt from scratch. After years, Los Angeles is finally getting the scale and design it deserves in the game.
San Diego
Nicknamed “America’s Finest City,” San Diego has been completely rebuilt. They retained the best areas from the original version while adding new locations that were highly requested by the community. In San Diego, players will nearly reach the Mexican border as they drive on the I-5 or enjoy views of Snapdragon Stadium as they travel along the I-8. CA-905 will take you directly to the border, passing through a sprawling logistics warehouse district. Additionally, we’ll have the opportunity to cross the iconic Coronado Bridge and see San Diego from a whole new angle.
Los Angeles
The City of Angels, Los Angeles, was also redesigned from scratch, just like San Diego. While some areas from the original L.A. (rebuilt as well) were preserved, such as Santa Monica, the beginning of the I-10, and the major intersection of routes I-10, I-5, and US-101, many more iconic areas of Los Angeles were added. These include L.A. Airport, the L.A. River, Long Beach Pier, and the I-405, one of the busiest highways in the U.S., along with several other locations. Thanks to the excellent work of SCS Software’s 3D modelers and map designers, players will be able to discover numerous landmarks and logistics depots in the reworked city of Los Angeles.
With the 1.53 update, many California cities, including Los Angeles and San Diego, will be renewed.
