Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

Last month, we shared a blogpost containing information and previews of Border Crossings in our upcoming West Balkans DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. With 30 crossings in total, we couldn't fit them all in just one blogpost! Today we are happy to share with you even more screenshots of unique border control points found across this in development DLC, we hope you don't mind! 



In the first blogpost, we shared that our map and asset teams have constructed these crossings as realistically as possible. These regions contain some very unique and sometimes unusual border control areas which can be sometimes difficult to obtain information or references about, due to their sensitive nature. 



However, we feel it is important to be able to represent these areas, even if some of the border points are part of the Schengen area and do not require stopping. 



As you can see, the size of these control points varies quite drastically! From the large crossing between Horgos & Röszke to the small one located in the valley between Vardiste & Kotroman; but each has its own important purpose. 



We are looking forward to you visiting all these wonderful and unique countries that can be found in the West Balkans DLC. Until then, keep an eye on our socials for all the latest news, and be sure to add the DLC to your Steam Wishlist if you haven't done so already.

Hallo, Freunde! It’s time to look at another city that will receive a brand-new look in the upcoming rework of the German cities that we are currently working on. Today, we’ll show and tell you a bit about what changes you can expect to see in the amazing city of Frankfurt am Main.



Perhaps you have already noticed the frequent pattern but reworks of individual cities are no easy feat, as once again we had to build the entire area from scratch with only a few exceptions. You will still find a familiar garage and Iveco truck dealer in the city and the city circle has mostly remained the same with an exception of a new junction in the northern part, where it connects to the Autobahn 5, so you can get extra access point to the city (the passages to enter from south and east will still be available).



Frankfurt has been through some turbulent and dynamic history but through it all, it has managed to withstand the test of time. There are currently over 750,000 inhabitants living in the metro area and the local economy is continuously growing. This is why we have expanded the city itself while also adding more depots and a part of the nearby industrial park!



The city has one of the largest airports in Europe and we had to reflect on this fact in our work as well. The local airport in the game will be expanded and you will be able to drive through some of the nearby parts, while also feasting your eyes on multiple landmark buildings, including a newly-built long-distance train station and a congress center. Additionally, there will be a new custom airport cargo depot as well!



We hope you are truly excited to set out on the roads and take a drive to the reworked Frankfurt am Main. While we still cannot provide any precise date for when this project will arrive in Euro Truck Simulator 2, we suggest following our social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) and keeping an eye out for any possible updates.

How time flies! The year 2022 is behind us and, as always, we would like to take a brief look back at everything that we went through over the last twelve months.



When we glance at the combined development and progression of American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, we can say that there are certainly a lot of positives that are worth bringing up. We have managed to release several projects, such as map expansions, new vehicles and parts, in-game features, and general improvements in numerous updates. But to top it all off, we are glad that we could further strengthen some of the partnerships with real-life brands, which, as well as this being reflected in our games last year, leaves us excited for what the future holds. We hope all of these elements helped to raise the bar once again and successfully improved the gaming experience of every player.

Check out this awesome video that showcases everything that our games and we as a company went through in 2022!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas gifts are part of the holiday tradition and since you, our #BestCommunityEver, have been extremely good and supportive this year, we’d like to show you our gratitude in the form of a small early present. The Christmas Paint Jobs Pack DLCs for both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 have received some new additions!



Last year during our annual Christmas World of Trucks event we introduced a number of uniquely painted trailers that contained gifts for transportation. After your excitement and many requests, we have decided to add these awesome-looking styles to the existing DLCs dedicated to this special holiday. That means with the start of the #ChristmasReflections event yesterday, both packs (ETS2 and ATS) received three new paint jobs for your trailers!



We can’t wait for you to combine the matching paint jobs on your trucks, but feel free to experiment and mix it up a bit as well. Make sure to tag us on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) and show us what you will come up with. We truly hope this update to the packs will cheer you up and fully evoke the holiday spirit within you!
