Nebraska is a state of the United States, which is featured in American Truck Simulator as an upcoming map expansion DLC. It will be the thirteenth map of DLC involving map expansions, but the twelfth paid one. It will be the first map release of 2024.
Located in the heart of the Great Plains, Nebraska’s vast and diverse landscape consists of prairies, rolling hills, and the crucial Platte River. While hauling cargo through the Cornhusker State along historic routes, you will have many opportunities to witness iconic landmarks and truly immerse yourself in the state's spirit, from its pioneer history to the modern energy of cities full of ever-growing industries.
