Ideal podcast game and source of all my lorry knowledge Euro Truck Simulator 2 is expanding its map to Ireland in the future, devs SCS Software have revealed. The DLC, dubbed Isle of Ireland, will include both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as fresh trucking locales.

It's another entry in the list of add-ons in the works for Euro Truck Sim 2, which also includes a Nordic map expansion, coaches, and a number of reworks to existing areas. The latter includes a UK revamp announced just the other week, which should ensure that driving from Birmingham to Belfast shouldn't resemble a voyage from 2013 to 5.

[p]Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new upcoming map expansion coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2! May the road rise up to meet you as our teams set out to bring this long-awaited expansion to life behind the wheel. From lively cities to winding country lanes, we are thrilled to announce... [/p][h2]The Isle Ireland for Euro Truck Simulator 2
[/h2][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Carved by rugged coastlines, endless green pastures, and a history that stretches back thousands of years, Ireland is a place where every road feels like a story waiting to be told. In this upcoming expansion, you will be able to explore both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, each offering its own distinct landscapes and atmosphere.


Drivers will be able to tackle narrow routes lined with stone walls and hedgerows, travel on untamed coastal stretches battered by the Atlantic winds, and roll through small villages and towns steeped in charm and tradition. From the energetic streets of Dublin and Belfast to the peaceful rhythm of the countryside, making a delivery without pausing to admire the view will be a challenge in itself!


Along the way, you’ll encounter some of Ireland’s most recognisable landmarks including the Rock of Cashel rising proudly above the Golden Vale, the dramatic slopes of Ben Bulben overlooking Sligo, the unmistakable Samson and Goliath cranes dominating Belfast’s skyline, and of course the world-famous basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Haul through farmland, cross windswept landscapes where folklore feels close at hand, and navigate into vibrant city centres where modern life and centuries of history stand side by side. Ferry ports such as Rosslare will also play an important role, opening the way to connections across the Irish Sea and beyond.[/p][p]We can't wait to show you more as development continues, but please keep in mind, that everything shown so far is still very much a work in progress, with more details and previews to come as development continues.[/p][p][/p][p]
We hope this first glimpse of Ireland has sparked your excitement! Don’t forget to add the expansion to your Steam Wishlist, it really helps us along the way and ensures you won’t miss the release. Until then, we look forward to sharing more from the roads where céad míle fáilte, awaits every driver.

[p]We have some exciting news for our European truckers! The dynamic loading and unloading feature is coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 for the very first time with the upcoming 1.57 update. Let's take a closer look at what's in store for you![/p][p][/p][p]We first introduced this feature for American Truck Simulator, and now we're excited to bring it to ETS2 as well. It will debut at selected custom and prefab depots in the upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC, and will also be added to all suitable prefab depots across the base map and map DLCs, plus one custom depot in Greece - so everyone can experience it![/p][p][/p][p]For now, this feature will be available for logger trailers. Drivers using an ownable logger trailer, delivering Logs, Large Tubes, or Iron Pipes, will be able to experience loading and unloading their cargo with the help of a material handler equipped with various attachments or a crawler excavator. Once you arrive at the designated area and position your trailer correctly, the loading process will begin automatically with the cargo you're hauling.[/p][p][/p][p]Once loading is complete, your GPS will automatically update with your destination. When you arrive at the depot, simply select the "Where do you need it?" option and head to the unloading point, where your trailer will be emptied. [/p][p][/p][p]Across prefab depots in the base map and in currently released map expansions, you'll be able to experience this feature at several sawmills, construction sites, material stores, steelworks factories, and more. For custom-made depots, it will be available at a number of timber harvest depots in the upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC, as well as at one custom shipyard depot in Athens, Greece. We plan to expand this feature in future updates.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope you will enjoy this new feature in ETS2 once it is released in the 1.57 update. Until then, stay tuned for more updates from this map expansion by following us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and YouTube, or by signing up for our newsletter. We will see you on the road![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p]Our work on the Scandinavia Refresh project for Euro Truck Simulator 2 continues, and today we’re excited to share another location that you can look forward to - the city of Karlstad![/p][p][/p][p]Located in central Sweden, Karlstad plays an important role in connecting various regions of the country. As part of the Scandinavia Refresh project, Karlstad has been newly added to the game, with the city built entirely from scratch and its surrounding areas reworked to match the quality and standards of our newer map regions.[/p][p][/p][p]While we don’t want to give away too much, Karlstad is home to a variety of recognizable landmarks and interesting spots that add to its local charm. You may find yourself passing by a busy train station, cultural and sporting venues, cozy accommodation options, and several public facilities that give the city its distinctive atmosphere. The nearby countryside also offers some beautiful driving routes for those who enjoy scenic deliveries off the main roads.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to these sights, there are a number of depots and service locations across the area, from fuel stations and farms to logistics centers, and more. Truckers can also look forward to a local garage where they can expand their operations in this part of Sweden. Our ETS2 Map Designer, Lukas, who worked on Karlstad, shared a few words about his experience: [/p][p][/p][p]“Karlstad was my first proper city, and I really hope I did it justice. I spent many late nights working on it, my girlfriend even started to get a little jealous, but I wanted to make sure the city feels alive, detailed, and full of little stories around every corner.”[/p][p][/p][p]Lukas also hinted that Karlstad may hold a few secrets for those who like to explore: “There are four gas stations, three are functional, one is hidden, and around three and a half secret roads to discover. I won’t say exactly where, but let’s just say there might even be a certain jumping ramp out there somewhere. Maybe you could start a little ‘how far can you jump’ competition!” [/p][p][/p][p]We look forward to sharing more updates with you soon as work on the Scandinavia Refresh project continues. Until then, keep your eyes on the road and enjoy exploring Denmark’s newest connections! We hope you liked this preview! Make sure to stay tuned for more updates from this map expansion by following us on X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and YouTube, or by signing up for our newsletter.
