DLC Arizona

[Callipso]

I'm sure they won't change it, after all France has these one lane interchanges all over the place from its original build. Only when they decided to fill the rest of the country in did they consider that those should be at least two lanes wide. kind of bone-headed imho. lots of other countries still use those one laners too makes you hate traveling through France or Italy just to not have to deal with those nightmare overpasses. Let me in AI! stop blocking the one lane!

Yea I hate it when the AI does that and makes me wanna wreck into them. Though after DLC Arizona, which state they are going for next? New Mexico? Utah? Oregon? Idaho? Hawaii?

[Volleybal4life]

Hawaii wouldn't make many sense if you ask me

I think, the next few will be. In order of inclusion:
Utah or Oregan, Idaho, Washington.

[ETS2-User]

There are rumors that SCS already started developing New Mexico.

[RoadRageDude]

So they are basically developing the Southern states and then going North from there?

[MandelSoft]

Ask yourself the question: what alternative do they have?

My guess is they head toward Texas and take maybe 2 years to get that DLC out. Many people will complain that it hasn't come out fast enough and then play it anyway when it arrives.

[RoadRageDude]

I think they will do Texas in 2 bits: West Texas and East Texas or any kind of combination like that.
