Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator developers SCS Software are still at work on their official multiplayer support for both truck sims. The Convoy game mode will let up to eight players hop in a private session together to complete jobs on the open road with synced traffic and weather. It's still in an experimental state, SCS warn, but they've made the first version available on a beta branch for those who are determined to go on a test drive.

Since the release of Iberia for Euro Truck Simulator 2, truckers from around the world have been taking part in the #CruisingIberia event! In just over a week, you've smashed the community goal of 250,000,000kms! That is incredible! 



So far, more than 30,000 truckers in Euro Truck Simulator 2 have achieved their personal goal of completing delivery to or from any 20 unique Iberian cities, with thousands more already working towards their goal. Not to mention our social media profiles are still receiving a lot of amazing posts and photos under the #CruisingIberia hashtag! 



So, in an effort to give players more time to finish their personal goal and to explore Iberia at a more leisurely pace, we've decided to extend the #CruisingIberia event until Sunday, July 11th 23:59 UTC!

It's been a while since I've booted up Euro Truck Simulator 2 and gone for a relaxing drive myself, but it remains just so delightfully wholesome. These people, they love trucks.

After update 1.40 revamped the game's lighting system back in March, developers SCS Software have been working on a revamp of the game's photo mode. When 1.41 launches, you'll now be able to fiddle with the time of day and the weather, so you can capture your truck looking its best.

We know how much our players love to take photos! From rest stops to landmarks, our social media channels receive hundreds of photos each week of drivers on their virtual travels in ETS2 and ATS! That is why we are happy to share with you a peek at one of our upcoming features in development for the in-game photo mode in 1.41. 



We understand that lots of you take your time to get the perfect shot, and for many, this also includes finding the right lighting conditions and weather. So to help create that perfect trucking memory, we have implemented a new feature that may save you quite a bit of time when it comes to using console commands! 



Introducing the new Time and Weather options! Players will now be able to choose the conditions of their liking, to create the perfect trucking snap just by simply adjusting a new slider to change the time, or clicking on two buttons to control the lighting/weather, all of which will appear in the updated in-game photo studio. We can't wait to see how drivers will use this new feature in the future and we look forward to seeing your snaps! 



Be sure to let us know in the comments your thoughts on this new feature. We look forward to sharing more upcoming 1.41 development news with you in the future!

But here's where the race for everlasting fame begins! Because now, we will all decide together who the ultimate winner of the #RenaultTrucksEvolution community contest design will be; who'll become a real legend, whose design will not only be implemented into ETS2, but also recreated on a real truck as a monument to this close collaboration between the automotive and gaming industry!

Please visit this special landing page and cast your votes, to help us decide who the star of the show is, the chosen one, the person who designed the most impressive and unique design out of these 5 finalists. You can take some time to closely inspect and browse the designs. The community voting is now active and ends on the 2nd of May, 2021, at 23:59 CEST. Also, we highly suggest you read the full regulations here.

The winner, along with the winning design, will be revealed later this year in the summer at a very special event in Lyon, France. This is where the winning designer will be invited by Renault Trucks, to be the star of the night, to reveal the truck and to test-drive it as well!*

*The planned reward of an expenses-paid trip to the launch event in Lyon might be subject to change, as neither SCS Software nor Renault Trucks can guarantee that future COVID-19 travel and safety restrictions will allow such an event to take place.
