Leo is a little late to the party today, lol.

Normally i would have expected multiplayer to be hinted much much later but hinting it now seems like it could be earlier than expected(grain of salt) but until we get official word I'll expect it to come in late 2021.

Uhhhh... but we just did get official confirmation though. It was in the blog today.

Soon, hopefully. Really excited to see how they go about doing this!

Also in the general discussion thread, Timmy said that we can expect a blog post on multiplayer soon.

Kind of bummed they didn't go with a MMO approach exactly as TruckersMP I don't have pals that play this! But it's awesome they are doing multi as i've always wanted it in ATS because I do prefer vanilla over modded anything but mods in multi make a whole world difference such as longer frames and things that never make it to vanilla like more lights options all that good stuff without weird save edits or something so perhaps this will allow mods unlike TMP.

But what i sure love about Truckers MP is may not have pals that play this I certainly can sit at a truck stop and kinda feel apart of something or driving on the road and meeting a real player running the countryside.. it's small but nice while this private room choice is okay with it being vanilla it's bound to have actual traffic along with your friends so that is a + but guess will see how it goes

An approach to an MMO system requires much more resources than the approach to creating a private lobby system. In an MMO style you need dedicated people to always be observe if a problem will happen, more server capacity, among other things.

Except that SCS does not have the time, nor the staff to deal with the trolls that will always show up in an MMO style multiplayer. Really don't think they want to babysit a bunch of people.

I would rather have this limited to your friends that you invite only. Even if mods are not supported it is still a great step forward to where I won't ever need to use a hackjob again.
