Alaskan Road Truckers Gets Free DLC; Content and Roadmap
The developers of Alaskan Road Truckers remind of their future plans. We learned details about upcoming content for the simulator, including DLCs.
Road Studio does not abandon Alaskan Road Truckers. The truck driver simulator, which debuted last month, will be expanded despite the mixed reception. Fans can expect new content, including free and paid expansions.
Alaskan Road Truckers - plans for the future
Developers of Alaskan Road Truckers reminded in a press release of the game's development roadmap, which they vaguely presented even before the game's release.
- Later in November, new game modes will appear in the production: easy and hardcore.
- In December, a large free DLC will debut, called Ice Roads. It will introduce new missions, map areas, cargo types and another type of challenge. The period will also see the release of a "distinctly themed/styled" paid cosmetic expansion, as well as a Christmas event with various free items to be won.
- Further in the future, we can expect a new truck, a mission or a DLC introducing mechanics related to "exploration of the game world outside the truck."
- The console version of Alaskan Road Truckers is still under development. The game will be released for PS5 and XSX/S in the run-up to Christmas.
We have also learned that fixing bugs and the game's performance is expected to last until the end of November. Recently, the developers informed, that they are working on improvements to artificial intelligence, controls for steering wheels and controllers, and general optimization improvements. Subsequent updates solving as many problems as possible are expected to be large, but thus will be released less frequently.
It's the poor condition of Alaskan Road Truckers is the main reason for player complaints and mixed reviews. We know that in the first week after release the game sold 33,000 copies.
