will there be more states getting unlocked

[(H.S.) WARLOCK]

winder if there more states getting unlocked over the years to come like state mexico and all of the east side of the USA including Florida

[Capt. Carrot]

Yes. SCS so far have committed to doing at least the contiguous 48 states of the USA and, IF there is still demand for new content, they will look at going North into Canada and south into Central America

Now why in the world would SCS make more states? They really enjoy getting asked this question a million times, by a million different people every time a new state comes out, so why ruin the 'fun' by making more states?

"Unlocked" isn't how new states are delivered, each one takes years of work to create, and SCS try to release two per year, but there have been unusual circumstances recently, so delays have happened. The last DLC map, Texas, was also the biggest state as a single DLC and took correspondingly lots more work to produce.
The aim is to cover all the contiguous states on the mainland, with the distant prospect of Canada and Mexico in the future. Read the SCS blogs and watch for announcements about releases to come, the dates are never finalised until just at the point of release, and asking for a date will not get a reply from SCS, and nobody on here knows anything, so can only guess.

Oklahoma and Kansas will be "unlocked" soon ....

It would be great to get the chance to reach the East Coast, it would be fabulous to be able to push north towards at least 60 degs latitude and south towards the Equatorial. But ultimately, it is up to you, our fans, if this happen - you will vote with your wallets. We expect to get the right guidance from you on future growth of our team to handle the new opportunities and challenges.

The general consensus will be once they reach the smaller states east of the Mississippi that we should start seeing state packs, or multiple states in one DLC.

We, the player base, vote on continuing development with our wallets. This simply means buying the official map expansions even though they are not a required purchase.

No "unlocking" there only buying.

SCS should def begin to prioritize gameplay mechanics over map content. IMO ATS desperately need better economy / contracts and supply mechanics to utilize the player's company more and make hauling finally feel relevant in the sim.

Besides that there's a great modding community out there who could help make the map complete. SCS could utilize it. But it's the gameplay mechanics development what's missing the most.

Just pointing out, Mexico is not a state, Op.

I am with you. As we venture east, the states overall get a touch smaller until you reach the nation's Northeast Corridor where you have several small states. Tennessee however shaped sort of rectangular. North and south wise, it may be small, but east and west wise, it's pretty big. Now since Texas has been complete, we do see the construction of the Midwestern states. Yes, the new state comes in the form of a DLC and the only way the player will have access to it is if he or she pays some money and buys a copy of the state DLC. The plain states may be easier since you have several miles of open land and not as much development as in some other states. In Oklahoma, I hear you see lots of sunflower plants.
