Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

It's the start of Gamescom 2019 hosted in Cologne, Germany! We are excited to be among so many different game developers and communities at this great event. We are also happy to be showcasing our games and expansions in a new and unique booth this year, which has been built in a truck garage-styled theme.



It features not only our famous SCS Motion Simulators but a range of PC setups with a variety of accessories and PC peripherals. A huge thank you to Thrustmaster, Steelseries, Tobii , Intel, Alienware and Speedseats for providing these fantastic setups. 





So make sure if you are visiting this week, to swing by Hall 6 at Booth B050, and say hello to our developer team and take a drive of ETS2 or ATS, which may even feature a few roads from future expansion. We'd love to also see you take plenty of photos & videos, just use the hashtag #GamescomTrucking and we will be sure to see them.

If are unable to make it, don't worry! You can keep up to date with us with what we're up to on location from our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook Pages (SCS Software, Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator).

Today we are happy to be able to share with you a selection of new industry prefabs, which we have created for our upcoming map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2, Road to the Black Sea.



The Black Sea region is home to a wide variety of large and diverse industries. From coastal shipyards to inland mining quarries, they provide a large economy for the surrounding cities and countries. Our team involved in the process have taken inspirations and created relevant and real industrial facilities as the basis of these prefabs.



We hope you enjoy this batch of screenshots which feature some of these upcoming industries.

The Goodyear Roll-Out ended up being so short that it took us by surprise honestly. Three days? For real?! We assumed that it would take over a week for you to make those 300K deliveries. We knew our fan community is very dedicated, but we still underestimated your commitment. We will know better next time.



Ultimately, over forty thousand people managed to complete the event after weadded an extra day to complete your personal goal, but it is obviousthere are still many more players driving the events for joy, or hunting for event-specific World of Trucks Achievements - and they don’t want to miss out forever on this one.
After weighing the pros and cons, we decided that we should take your suggestions to heart. Today, we are reopening the event in a limited capacity for all players, especially those who were on the edge of completing their personal goal of 10 deliveries. The rules have changed slightly; since the community goal has been reached already, there is no longer a chance to win a free Steam activation key for the DLC. But, you can still earn your World of Trucks Achievement and Goodyear Blimp hanging Steam inventory item.
This also gives us an additional opportunity to push the pedal to the metal with cross-promotion, and show the kind people at Goodyear that we can treat their brand withall the attention and respect we can provide.

The Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC is available on Steam now and remains a prize for those who previously finished the event during its first run.



At the same time, we're complementing the extended event with a community contest. Since there's no need to race now, why not make some cool screenshots of your Goodyear themed truck to share with others? Of course, you get a chance to win some nice prizes too!

• Tune-up your truck (and trailer optionally) using the Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC.
• Take an in-game screenshot - either of your truck (and trailer optionally) or inside the cabin of your truck featuring the new accessories.
• Use the vanilla game only (mods are not permitted this time).
• Share these screenshots either on your Twitter or Instagram profiles with the #GoodyearRollOut hashtag and tag Goodyear's and our profiles. The direct links to these profiles are as follows.

The Voice Navigation feature introduced in the 1.35 Update for both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 has garnered a large number of positive reviews. We have also heard our community's feedback loud and clear, that they want to see more language options included.

As promised in the announcement above, today's mini-update will see the inclusion of 6 new language options (and there will be some more in the future). In the meantime, be sure to check our Steam Workshop for the huge number of GPS voice-over mods there created by our great community (ETS2, ATS). For now, we will be focusing our time on future projects and other surprises.

We are also excited to release this video interview with both voice talents behind the English versions of the feature - Skye Bennett and Doug Cockle, both of whom have had experience voicing video game characters and in many other roles. Perhaps you can learn something new about these incredibly talented and well-known voice actors.

300,000 completed tyre deliveries, what an achievement! Our community never fails to impress us when working together to complete our World of Trucks events. The Goodyear Roll-Out event saw over 150,000 deliveries made in less than 24 hours, and we admit we were amazed to see that this event would be completed in such a small amount of time.
