Discover Avery Island in American Truck Simulator’s Louisiana DLC

Nestled in Iberia Parish in southern Louisiana, Avery Island stands as one of the region’s most unique locations. This iconic landmark is now brought to life in the upcoming Louisiana DLC for American Truck Simulator, offering drivers a blend of natural beauty and rich history.

A Natural Paradise: Wildlife and Greenery

Surrounded by swamps and bayous, Avery Island is renowned for its lush vegetation, live oaks, and dense greenery, all meticulously recreated by the game’s vegetation and asset teams.

The Flavorful History of Avery Island

Beyond its natural beauty, Avery Island holds a fascinating history. The McIlhenny family settled here in the mid-1800s, establishing pepper-growing and sauce-making traditions that would later earn worldwide fame. This legacy continues today, with the island’s long-running hot sauce production playing a key role in its identity for generations.

The island’s massive underground salt dome provided the essential mineral base for preserving and fermenting peppers, while the warm, humid climate created ideal growing conditions for spicy varieties. Over time, workers refined their methods, aging pepper mash in wooden barrels and developing techniques that spread far beyond the region.
