Today, we're happy to share with you an update on Phase 3 of the California Rework, and what the team has been working on recently. This blog serves as a part 2 on 'The Golden State', so we recommend taking a read of that blog, if you haven't already!

This means we've been able to utilize more of the map to create more road networks, expand city sizes, introduce new industries in the area, and ultimately, bring the quality of the state up to date with our current DLC quality standards.

Specifically, the work has been taking place between the San Francisco and Santa Cruz section of the highway, which has been reworked with new assets and a new layout, built from ground up using the newer scale to allow for more details and accuracy.

As drivers make their way along the highway, they are treated to awe-inspiring vistas of the Pacific Ocean on one side and lush, rugged coastal cliffs on the other. The road winds its way through rolling hills, towering redwood forests, and charming coastal communities. Our teams have paid particular attention to recreating these same views and areas in the rework.

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled as you don't know where they'll pop up next.
