Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

The rework of several German cities in Euro Truck Simulator 2 is drawing ever closer and you should definitely get ready to explore the city of Nuremberg like never before! Let’s take a look at what this beautiful city with rich history will offer once the update arrives.



The entire city was built from scratch with an addition of a newly accessible part of the city center to which you will be able to deliver construction materials. As you explore this new section of the city, you'll be awed by magnificent landmarks such as the Nuremberg Opera House, the Main Railway Station, and the Church of St. Lawrence.



Despite not being situated on a major European river, the city still plays a vital role in transportation thanks to the Main-Danube Canal, which links the North and Black Seas. Along this channel is the port of Nuremberg, which serves as a hub for river port docks and the transshipment of petroleum products.



In addition to the new features in the city center, adjacent sections of the A3 and A6 motorways have also been redesigned alongside the city. This means players will have a smoother and more realistic driving experience as they travel through Nuremberg. The Kreuz Fürth/Erlangen and Kreuz Nürnberg Süd interchanges have also been updated and there will be a brand new sawmill to the north of A6!



All in all, we’re sure this rework will be a fantastic update to not only the local fans but everyone who loves to explore the entire in-game world. We have some cool news for you coming soon, so make sure to follow our social media channels (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) to stay in touch with all the latest announcements.

On the 6th of February 2023, a devastating Earthquake struck southern and central Turkey, as well as northern and western Syria. This awful event has caused a catastrophic loss of life and devastation to many homes, towns, and cities, which has displaced millions of people across both regions.

To assist with the relief and rescue efforts of this terrible disaster, we have joined forces with other great game developers and Humble Bundle to release a special Turkey & Syria Relief Bundle. 100% of the proceeds from your bundle purchase go directly to helping those affected and includes 70 gaming titles worth over $1000.



Humble selected three charities to be part of the bundle. These charities have focused efforts in Turkey and Syria, in directly helping those displaced and affected by these terrible events.

Direct Relief is deploying medical supplies from its facilities in the U.S. and Europe for Turkey and Syria. More than 22 tons of medical aid has been staged or is being shipped for Turkey and Syria since the earthquake began. The organization has also committed $3 million in financial support for response efforts.

International Medical Corps responded immediately to the Disaster. They coordinated with local health authorities to address critical gaps in services and enable functional healthcare facilities to rapidly scale up their care for communities, dispatching medical supplies, consumables, pharmaceuticals, and non-food items to support healthcare facilities and people.

Save The Children is coordinating closely with local partners on the ground, including Turkish Red Crescent and Support to Life, to distribute tents, hygiene kits, clothing, heaters, blankets, and other essential items. In addition, their Emergency Health Unit (EHU) provides life-saving healthcare in emergencies.

So many great game developers have come together to help support this cause by contributing their titles to the bundle. You'll find every genre under the sun, and all for a fraction of the price (or more if you're feeling generous); which goes to directly supporting those in immediate need of medical supplies, food, water, shelter, and more.

We thank you for your support in advance if you choose to purchase this special bundle; which is helping those who need it most. You can purchase the Humble Bundle here.

It's now time to reveal one of our projects that we've been working on for some time already, and to confirm all the speculations about the very cool yet mysterious and unique video we published back in October. Yes, we're talking about the teaser in which not only members of our crew, but a real camel took part in as well!



Everyone who speculated that this teaser is related to the European trailer company Wielton was right, and we are proud to officially confirm that the cooperation is real and it’s happening. We got in touch with the amazing people from Wielton back in 2022 at the IAA automotive fair in Hannover, where the initial discussions and the first steps in our common interest to bring Wielton trailers into Euro Truck Simulator 2 began. We were honored to find out that the team over at Wielton was already very familiar with ETS2 and with our #BestCommunityEver, and that they were ready and looking forward to joining the truck sim universe with their famous brand.

From the very first moment, it has been nothing but joy and fun to work with Wielton, and we are grateful to be connected to such a cool and open-minded team of people working within the automotive industry. From providing us with high-quality reference data for our vehicle department to being creative in producing unusual but cool marketing content - it's been an absolute pleasure to work on this project together!



A few weeks back, we were also invited to visit their production plant in Wieluń, Poland, to gather some tiny pieces of missing reference data for our 3D graphics designers, and to also take a guided tour through their facility to check out the production process. We can now confirm that we have seen with our own eyes how their teams are tirelessly making sure every single one of their trailers, every tiny detail and part is being made with a deep dedication for perfection and top quality! And we’ve observed their production very closely, as you can tell by the video below!

We would love to use this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to everyone from the Wielton team for all the help that they have given us so far. We can't say when this project will be ready for a release, but if you'll keep your eyes on our communication platforms such as our social media channels you surely won't miss any updates related to this topic!

With the intention of celebrating the timeless tradition of Valentine’s day, exactly two weeks ago we introduced a brand-new thematic World of Trucks event, in which we asked the players to deliver special Valentine Presents cargo across all the trucking territories. And now, since the event was successfully concluded on Sunday the 19th, we'd like to thank and congratulate everyone for taking part and offer you some final thoughts and impressions.



The community goal which was set at 500,000 deliveries was actually completed before Valentine’s Day itself and we consider that to be absolutely amazing! We knew that achieving this number wouldn’t be an easy task but all of you managed to surprise us with your true passion and dedication to finish the goal as quickly as possible. We also appreciate all the feedback we have received and, as we hope to return with another event next year, we’ll make sure to take it all into consideration. For now, let’s take a look at some of the final statistics from this year’s Sweet Valentine event.



These numbers are truly incredible and we hope you are enjoying the Trucker Cupid and Box of Chocolate rewards. We realize that Valentine’s Day is a really time-limited holiday, but you can now explore ETS2 or ATS with the accessories all year long. Additionally, don’t forget we have also updated the Valentine’s Paint Job Pack for each game with the styles used for the special event cargo!



The power of our #BestCommunityEver is always one of the main highlights of any event and it was awesome to see you all sharing the love all over social media and other platforms, such as Youtube or Twitch. We really enjoyed looking at the screenshots, videos, and live streams, and it brings a lot of joy to all our teams to see how much you enjoy these World of Trucks events.



Once again, we are grateful for all your effort and the love you showed us during this event. We hope we’ll be able to provide you with more challenges and entertainment in the future as well, and while we are unable to say right now what our plans are, keep an eye out on our social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) to always be notified of any potential announcement.
