If you want to, you can still write a review for the Louisiana DLC on its Steam page. We would really appreciate it! You can find the review section if you scroll to the bottom of the Louisiana Steam page. We have also reached out to a few content creators who got the opportunity to try out this DLC in early access to give us their opinion on the Louisiana map expansion.

“One thing that always amazes me about SCS Software is how well they capture the vibe of each state, and Louisiana feels like a wonderful and unique place to drive around. From the river-ferry crossings with their tailored cutscenes to the wildlife hiding in the swampy areas, the detail is really nice. Driving through New Orleans is a whole experience in itself! I’ve never been there in real life, but even at night the game makes it feel alive. One thing I love to look out for are the landmarks you can always discover, and in this case, you find murals scattered all over the map; they’re really solid representations of the real thing. It’s pretty cool how perfectly they nailed the mood.” - WildAnnie[www.twitch.tv].

"SCS Software has blown me away with the Louisiana DLC. Crossing that state line, it was clear that they did their research on the state. Capturing everything from the wetlands to the city landscapes. Driving through the winding bayous and across the bridges really brought out the overall feel for Louisiana. Cities like New Orleans, Lake Charles, and Baton Rouge are amazing. They put in so much detail. And the smaller towns made it feel like I was there. The industrial ports are massive! Crossing the river on the ferry alone is a super cool feature for this DLC. The sounds of Louisiana were not forgotten either. You can hear the wildlife in the background. I even heard a guitar coming out of an old shed, giving out some Louisiana vibes as I drove by. If you're a fan of ATS, you will absolutely love this DLC!" - Creepyhorseman[www.facebook.com].

"SCS has done a fantastic job with the Louisiana DLC. The Louisiana DLC is a great addition that perfectly captures the unique atmosphere of the American South. With an impressive 11 breathtaking cities, it offers a wide variety of environments – from historic towns to vibrant industrial hubs. The amazing secret roads are especially exciting, taking you off the main highways and through fascinating landscapes that spark a real sense of exploration. The new dynamic unloading areas are excellent, adding more variety, realism, and depth to every delivery. Overall, it’s an absolute highlight for every ATS fan." - Mr. GermanTruck.

"I think Louisiana was really well done, loved the scenery, the countryside, and also the city. They felt alive. I've never been to the US IRL, and driving through Louisiana in American Truck Simulator makes me want to visit. Well done to the team, and SCS has smashed it again. Looking forward to the upcoming DLCs, #BestCommunityEver. Keep up the awesome work! ;)." - Jamesdgaming[www.twitch.tv].

The cold winds return to Winterland once again, carrying whispers of joy and echoes of seasons past. But something is different this year. The realm, once quiet and still, now hums with new life, warmth, and cosiness, not just of fire and festive light, but of memory, pattern, and tradition.

Each of the five magical depots, from the mountain glow of Snowy Peaks to the sweet halls of Marigold’s, have begun to weave their warm spirit into the fabric of the land. Their stories now ride with you, stitched into the trailers you haul: woollen patterns of festive charm, echoing the heart of each place and delivery made.

These aren't just cargo trailers, they’re moving tapestries, motifs of magic, crafted with love. They speak of chocolate and crafts, letters and laughter, snow and song, energy and life.

So, we welcome our #BestCommunityEver back to Winterland and invite you to take the wheel and help carry Winterland’s wonders, woven in joy, across the frost-kissed roads of this living, breathing realm in our Woven Wonders of Winterland event for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator!

Prepare to embark on a heart-warming Winterland journey! As the magical depots awaken and their woven motifs spread across the land, we’re calling on the community to help carry this newfound spirit far and wide. Your task is to gather 200 Snowflakes for cities across the map in each of the 5 tiers, 1,000 Snowflakes in total.

Every completed tier will reward you with a unique cabin item, each one inspired by the warm patterns and traditions of Winterland’s five enchanted depots. Step into the season, take the wheel, and let the tapestry of Winterland grow with every delivery you make!

This year, you'll notice far more activity along the roads than before. Local traffic glides past in festively painted vehicles, their colours and patterns echoing the magic of the depots themselves. Each encounter offers a spark of warmth to the frosted landscape, making the whole realm feel more alive than it has in seasons past. 

You’ll be able to track the community progress on World of Trucks[worldoftrucks.com] or directly in the game using the updated External Contracts interface.

Christmas Winterland Directions

A portal to Winterland appears once you accept event cargo bound for Winterland.  Find it on the map and navigate to it. Look for the sparkles! Leaving Winterland with cargo takes you to its destination; without cargo, you’ll be sent to a random city for a new job.

In preparation for your travels, we’ve also added a new Winterland Desktop Background Theme, bringing the realm’s warmer glow straight to your screen. Soft, cosy lighting now fills the world, a cabin radiates life and warmth from the hearth, and a parked vehicle rests beneath a blanket of snow, adding to the seasonal charm. These touches deepen the seasonal atmosphere and set the stage for the adventures ahead.

Return to Winterland Event Rules:

Using External Contracts with a World of Trucks[www.worldoftrucks.com]-connected profile in Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator or both, the community is to deliver supplies and gift packs to and from Christmas Winterland using as many cities as possible. There are 5 different depots in Winterland for all deliveries, to and from. They are:

1. Christmas Market...a town square market

2. Marigold's...a chocolate factory

3. Northstar...a post office

4. Rudolph's Crafts...an arts workshop

5. Snowy Peaks...a mountain resort market

Your personal goal is to complete 15 deliveries for them including at least 1 delivery to or from each depot, using Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator or both games combined.
Snowflakes are gained for those cities that have delivered to or received from Winterland. For a city to receive 1 Snowflake, the community needs to complete 1000 deliveries between it and Winterland. Each city can receive up to 5 Snowflakes!

The community goal is to reach at least 1000 Snowflakes for cities across all trucking territories. A unique community reward will be unlocked for each tier of 200 Snowflakes accomplished, with 5 tiers in total.

Rewards

• Personal: Your contribution of 15 or more deliveries to or from the 5 Christmas Winterland depots will gain you:

• A special World of Trucks Achievement.

• A wonderful Winter Woollies truck paint job

• A bonus reward, for those that don't already have it, of last year's collection of 6 festive arrays of decorative exterior cab lighting, designed as truck accessories for each game. This collection is compatible with the top-tier trucks from all brands.

• Community: There will be 5 tiers to unlock. Each tier will bring a special cabin item reward for both games, based on the 5 unique depots within Christmas Winterland, so let's hit the road!

The event will be concluded on Sunday, the 11th of January at 23:59 UTC. 

We will also be hosting a special livestream with the devs, where we’ll explore how this year’s Christmas event was designed and created, in a relaxed conversation with our colleagues from the World of Trucks team, while also playing and contributing toward the community goal. Join us Tuesday the 16th of December from 18:00 CET on Twitch[www.twitch.tv], YouTube, or Facebook[www.facebook.com], and explore the Woven Wonders of Winterland with us!
Also, pencil in the 18th of December, from 18:00 CET, for our annual Christmas Stream featuring Pavel Šebor! There will be plenty of interesting updates as usual, some teasers for upcoming content, but for sure, there will be loads of fun with a touch of SCS magic! The stream will take place on our Twitch[www.twitch.tv], YouTube, and Facebook[www.facebook.com], so don't miss it!

We await your stories from your journey back to Christmas Winterland of the wonders and joy you’ve shared and discovered. We’d be thrilled to see more photos as you reach your goals and enjoy the rewards of this season of giving. Share your screenshots and videos with us using the hashtag #WovenWondersOfWinterland on our Facebook ATS[www.facebook.com] / ETS2[www.facebook.com], X (formerly Twitter)[x.com], and Instagram[www.instagram.com] profiles and we will share our favourite ones.
