Around the World - North America

[Zimmerbz 168]

I'm confused about the ATW North America from the Dev update last week.  Were they just showing what is currently in the sim or will there be some new release or update with these highly detailed cities?  From the cities I have seen in the sim, it would appear that they are already in there but i'm not 100% sure.  Can someone clarify what that is?

I think I figured it out. Look on the Development Roadmap for entries that say "World Update" in GREEN.

The last one was for Japan, and it looks like there aren't any more this year through end of November. Maybe there will be one in December

So what was updated for the Japan World update?  More detailed cities, etc?

The „around the world“ videos have nothing to do with the „world updates.“ They show what‘s currently in the sim (well, apart from the watermasks) and are not previews of the world updates.

They said in the latest Developer Q&A that Update #7 is slated to be the USA World Update. Update #6 meanwhile will be an optimisation update.

What Shack said, the 'Around the World' videos are unrelated to the world updates, this is a series they've been doing for a few months now
