Illinois: Marion

[♕-SlawkA-♕]

Welcome to Marion! In today's blog, we take you on a brief tour of this picturesque city located in the south of Illinois, our upcoming map expansion for American Truck Simulator. Let's take a look!

The original town included just a public square and one row of blocks around it, accounting for forty-one lots. Now, Marion is one of the largest and fastest-growing cities in southern Illinois, with more than 17,000 citizens. Visitors can also find some beautiful nature spots in the surrounding area, such as Crab Orchard Lake with its national wildlife refuge full of diverse flora and fauna.

As always, our Assets and Map teams have recreated various landmarks. Before your arrival into the city, you will be greeted by the "Welcome to Marion" sign adorned with an effigy of the city's clock tower from its town square.

Once you enter, you will be able to spot many local buildings meticulously recreated to represent their real-world counterparts, such as the Marion bank, hotel, water tower, or the laborers' training centre. If you are familiar with the area, we are sure you will also recognize some parts of the faithfully recreated road network in and around the town.

If you are looking for a job, you will find plenty there in the local establishments such as the warehouse, RV dealer, country store, truck and trailer service, farm, timber harvest site, and marina depots to keep you and your truck busy!

We hope you like this early preview of the Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator. If you do, make sure to add this map expansion to your Steam wishlist! Just don't forget that this DLC is still a work in progress, so anything you see here may be adjusted.
