American Truck Sim Roswell Previews

[Paul Jeffrey]

Aliens! Aliens everywhere (and not the super fast kind). SCS Software have revealed some new images from the upcoming New Mexico DLC for American Truck Simulator.

SCS have been working for several months on the next big DLC map expansion for American Truck Simulator, and with New Mexico just around the corner the developers have revealed everyone's favourite UFO spotting town will be included! Introducing Roswell, alleged scene of the infamous 1947 Roswell Landings.

Showing a bit of a sense of humour alongside some awesome attention to detail, SCS have made an impressive job of recreating some the most iconic sections of this famous American town in the yet to be released New Mexico DLC expansion.

Sadly no date has yet been confirmed for when we will likely have access to the DLC, however once again the screenshots indicate that deployment to the public build of the game can't be far away now...


American Truck Simulator is a truck driving simulation from SCS Software, exclusive for PC.

Yes sir , and i came with proof

Alien cafés, and earlier we saw rockets (presumably from around the White Sands range).
Starting to get a little spacey over at SCS.
Can't be long until we get the option of strapping a couple of JATO pods to the trailer for those REALLY heavy loads.

Btw, that's a pretty vaguely worded question in the poll.
Do I believe there's intelligent life somewhere else in the universe? Yes.
The odds of it not being true are astronomical (pardon the pun).
Do I believe they run around abducting people, and mutilating cattle? Er....no.

Actually not too bad. The first three pictures look pretty darn close. I might be wrong, but the fourth picture of the UFO Center is from the TV series "Roswell" and it's not actually in Roswell, NM. I think it's part of the film lot in Covina, CA.

They`re getting better each dlc. Let´s hope for some new trucks ingame. The truck companies should all be like Scania in ETS2, as soon they have a new one, work is starting to get it ingame, with full scania support.

They claim to have blue blood..
Wear funny crowns on their heads..
Live in big dusty houses in London.
Paid for by the 'poor' people...
Giant ears is the sign...

Here's some real life photos I took in 2012 for comparison (we took a detour on our Route 66 trip). There is a UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, although it looks nothing like their image. My guess is that they would have to pay a licence to use the real Center and have used the TV version instead. The Alien HQ and 3rd Rock From The Sun images are spot on though

I would expect them to include something of Santa Fe too.

Indeed 'UFO Center' looks like the set prop from when they filmed in Covina, Ca. Real building but they changed the outside. Was a blast seeing them film 'Roswell' there and in the cute downtown next to it back in '99. Nice town if you ever get a chance to visit there.

The branding on the museum has changed since you were there. SCS has got it right, they just changed the word museum to gallery.

Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why

Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home alright

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, "So long, we'll see you again"
