Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

The holiday season is a time of rest for most people, but for the logistics industry, it is the busiest time of the year! Over the past couple of months, drivers from across the world have united to deliver gifts wisely on both sides of the Atlantic in our Christmas Wise Giving Event.  



Thousands of deliveries needed to be made for cities across both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator and our #BestCommunityEver delivered! We thank you for all the hard work and time each of you put in to help unlock rewards for all drivers to enjoy in-game.



In less than 24 hours, drivers have already completed their personal goals of completing 15 deliveries across Europe/USA and 75 of the 350 hearts and gifts needed to receive the first tier of the community rewards. By the end of the first day of the event, Osnabruck became the first city to max out on both given and received gift deliveries and you, the community, reached the first tier! 

With that kind of momentum, it was no wonder that the final tier of the community goal was achieved on the 27th of December, just 10 days after the beginning of the event! The rate of deliveries completed even had Santa in the North Pole shocked! 



We want to thank every single driver who contributed to the event, and to those who really went the extra mile. It really brings a huge smile to the faces of the SCS team to see how much you enjoyed these events, and how you managed to complete them quicker every year, despite the many deliveries we challenge you with. We hope you enjoy the unique Christmas accessories and paint jobs that you have so rightfully earned and use them as a reminder of this year's event. 



However, the #XmasWiseGiving event wasn't the only event you could take part in during the festive period. For the first time ever, we had 2 consecutive World of Trucks events running alongside each other! 



On November 12th, with the release of Colorado for American Truck Simulator, we began the #CruisingColorado event. We set a goal for truckers to drive 60,000,000 combined miles whilst delivering to or from any of the 13 cities in the state of Colorado. With Colorado themed rewards to be earned, it only took our community 7 days to reach the goal of 60 million miles, incredible! 



This really does go to show the strength and power of our community when we work together. We thank you for your support and we look forward to sharing more development news with you in the future.

A trip to Spain is not complete without a visit to the country's capital city, Madrid! Located practically near the geographic center of the peninsula, Madrid is home to the Spanish Royal Family, lots of historical architecture, and two world-famous football clubs. 


Today we are happy to share with you these new images from our upcoming Iberia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, which will also feature our new visual lighting implementation. Please keep in mind, however, both the lighting and map expansion seen in these shots are still 'work in progress' and may not represent the final product at the time of release. However, we hope you enjoy them!



So what awaits drivers who visit Spain's most populous city? The city of Madrid will feature accurately-created highways, famous stadiums such as the "Coliseum Alfonso Pérez" and a range of industries for drivers to discover and deliver cargo to. From food markets to railway terminals and truck factories, drivers will find no shortage of contracts to help contribute to the local economy.



With sunshine, beautiful city views, and deliveries to be made, we are sure Madrid will be one of the top destinations on your list to visit when Iberia releases. Do you recognize any of the areas featured in these images? Let us know!



Excited about the release of Iberia? Then don't forget to add it to your Steam Wishlist! It really helps support us for future releases for our trucking titles.

With the upcoming release of the Iberia expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2, we know that many drivers will be excited to progressively make their way down Europe to cross into the peninsula for the first time. With France being mainland Europe's gateway to Spain and Portugal, our team is currently developing 2 new French locations which will be a part of a free update to the Vive La France ! DLC in the future. 



The first being the city of Bayonne, located in the southwest of France; it is the capital of the French Basque Country and an important connection for drivers heading to Spain as it is located close to the border. Bayonne will also feature local industries from which drivers can deliver to and from.



The second location will be the smaller commune of Lacq, which is located in the Arrondissement of Pau. While this small village will just be a scenic drive-through for most, there is one major industry that is located there. The industrial complex was built after the discovery of one of the greatest natural gas fields in the world. Today Lacq is home to the largest refinery in France and is one of the world’s largest sulfur producers and exporters. 



Both of these areas plus two new connecting junctions in Toulouse and Bordeaux will come as a free update to the Vive La France ! DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 when the Iberia DLC is released. Please keep in mind that all of these screenshots you see here today are work in progress, both in terms of development and the new visual lighting system present. 



If you haven't already, check out the Vive la France ! DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2; and add the Iberia DLC to your Steam Wishlist. It really helps support the development of our DLC's and we thank you for your support if you have chosen to already.

Happy New Year! We hope you found time to enjoy the festive period and time to relax and settle down with a cup of your favourite hot drink. However, we know that many of you continued to work hard over the Christmas period as you took part in our #XmasWiseGiving World of Trucks event! 



With brightly-decorated Christmas gift trailers and festively-painted trucks, drivers from across the world came together to help deliver gifts across the Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator with a goal to achieve, and on the 27th of December you, our #BestCommunityEver, completed the community goal! 



Thanks to all your deliveries and hard work, you have unlocked the final tier of the community goals! If you have completed your personal goals, you will be able to claim your rewards under the Events tab on the My Page section of WorldofTrucks.com. 


If you still have not found the time to complete all your deliveries or have yet to start, don't panic! You will have until 23:59 UTC on the 17th of January 2021 to complete the event with the special gift trailers, using the World of Trucks external contracts and earning festive rewards for your truck exterior and cabin. If you have only just found out about our event, you can find more information about how to take part here. 



Another event that has been running since early November is the #CruisingColorado event, in which you can earn free rewards for delivering to and from cities in our latest expansion for American Truck Simulator. Even though the community goal was reached within a week, we wanted to make sure that drivers could complete at their own pace. This event will also end on the 17th of January 2021 at 23:59 UTC, you can read the rules and find out how you can participate in this event


We look forward to bringing you lots of exciting content for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator in this new year and we look forward to sharing development news in the near future.

The year 2020 is coming to an end in a few hours. It's been a very hard year for most of the world, but we want to focus on something positive here. Despite some setbacks and hard decisions to make, the work on new map expansions, new vehicles and parts, new game features, and our 3D engine improvements continued at a solid pace. We have managed to keep our chins up and remain productive, and both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 keep getting better.

Allow us to reminiscence and review the content and features we have released throughout 2020!

We're looking forward to bringing you more specific news as we develop and release the new features.
