Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

Hello, #BestCommunityEver! Fancy some Nordic Horizons news? Well, we have some right here for you. Today, we would like to show you the city of Skellefteå, which is currently being developed for this upcoming Euro Truck Simulator 2 map expansion.


Skellefteå is located near the northeastern coast of Sweden and is one of the highlights of Swedish Lapland. The city's population is more than 36,000 citizens. Its nickname is Guldstaden which means "gold town" because of Skellefteå's rich industrial and mining history, which was especially focused on gold.


As is always the case with cities we build for our map expansions, you will find plenty of landmark buildings inspired by their real-world counterparts in Skellefteå. These include several office buildings, a massive parking structure adorned with the Skellefteå logo, a unique hotel constructed entirely of wood, and alchemical signs symbolizing different materials displayed along a large gangway in the industrial area.


Naturally, you will also come across plenty of job opportunities in the local industries. We have mentioned the rich industrial history of the city, and that is why we just couldn't leave out the local steelworks company.

Other than that, truckers can pick up cargo in Skellefteå's logistics depot, building materials store, heavy machinery depot, and even a brand-new, yet-to-be-announced depot - but we won't spoil all the surprises for you now!


We hope you have enjoyed this little sneak peek into this upcoming map expansion for ETS2. If you are excited about the Nordic Horizons DLC, make sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist!

Today we're happy to share a new episode in our SCS On The Road series! In this video, we're taking you back to the summertime when we had the opportunity to attend Elmia Lastbil, an international trade fair for the transport and trucking industry hosted in Jönköping, Sweden. In collaboration with Scania Trucks, we were able to share the experience of our 4D Motion Simulator and offer a virtual test drive of their Scania S BEV at our virtual 1:1 recreation of the Scania Test Center located in Södertälje with attendees at the show.


Join Mark as he chats with James Cotino, Exhibit Unit Specialist at Scania Group and shows you around one of the largest haulage and transport events in the Nordic Region. The show was well attended with over 400 exhibitors plus an incredible array and variety of trucks and trailers from all over Europe. We were also lucky enough to check out the Nordic Trophy, which is an event where custom show trucks from all over the Nordic region come together to be judged in hopes of winning the title. If you love custom trucks, airbrushed paint jobs and more, you won't want to miss this!

We'd like to once again thank our partners at Scania for allowing us the opportunity to collaborate with them at their booth for this event. We really had a fantastic time and enjoyed giving attendees from across the world the opportunity to virtually test drive the Scania S BEV in Euro Truck Simulator 2. We also hope you enjoyed watching this recap! If you did, consider leaving a like or a comment under the video on YouTube. Until next time, keep on truckin'.

Dear #BestCommunityEver,

The holiday season is upon us! For many, this is a time to reflect on the past year and cherish moments with loved ones. Wherever you are and however you celebrate, we hope you’ll find the time to enjoy the holiday spirit this season brings. Like many of you, a majority of our team here at SCS Software will be taking a holiday away from the office to enjoy traditional festivities with friends and family. During this time, you can expect a bit of a quieter period from us across our official channels, but it won't be long before we're back on the road again in the New Year!

2024 has undoubtedly been a year of growth, change, and progress. With the release of Nebraska and Arkansas for American Truck Simulator and Greece for Euro Truck Simulator 2, many new miles have been added to the in-game world! From exciting firsts, such as the introduction of the first electric truck in ETS2, the Renault E-Tech T to the launch of the Driving Academy, we’re proud to have delivered new content and features to our #BestCommunityEver.

We also can’t overlook the major milestones we’ve achieved this year, including moving into new offices and expanding our team of over 360! None of this would have been possible without the hard work of our incredible team and partners and, of course, the unwavering support of you our community.


Looking to get some extra miles in over the festive period? Take part in our Return To Winterland World of Trucks event for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator! Experience the magical Winterland as you help deliver supplies and gift packs across the globe, which contribute to your personal and community goal to unlock tiers of in-game rewards! This year's event features a few special updates to make it even more magical than before. Read more on how you can take part here.


We also recently hosted our traditional Special Christmas Live Steam, which reflects on the past year and where we shared some teasers, glimpses of upcoming projects, and what is in store for the future of ETS2 and ATS. With Special guests including our CEO Pavel Šebor, don't miss out on what we shared! You can re-watch the entire stream at our official YouTube channel here!

We'd like to thank you all again for your support, and we can't wait to spend many more miles on the road with you in 2025. From all of us here at SCS Software, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Last week, we released the IVECO S-Way for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Now, we bring you a fresh SCS On The Road episode where we show you this truck in real life!


We had the pleasure of visiting IVECO earlier this year where we filmed this episode for our #BestCommunityEver. The host of today's episode is Oscar, who interviewed Federico Giovanetti, Senior Product Manager, and Fabio Avidano, Product Manager at IVECO. Federico and Fabio shared everything there is to know about the stunning S-Way, and we're incredibly grateful to them and the entire IVECO team for their fantastic collaboration. Thanks to their support, we were able to bring this wonderful truck to our game and record this episode for you. Now, without further ado, let's watch it together!

"The Greece DLC is a fantastic addition to Euro Truck Simulator. SCS Software releases a DLC that gets better and better every time. Once again, they've done a fantastic job with this DLC, which I know ETS2 players really enjoy. Getting out on the road and exploring the many detailed cities this wonderful DLC has to offer brings a huge amount of immersion and realism. I really enjoy exploring Greece. It's great fun to discover the amazing landscapes along the way. I'd like to thank SCS Software for the really great work they've done with the Greece DLC and all the work they've created in the past. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they have planned for the future!" - ES8Gaming.

"Coming from someone who did not know much about Greece going into this DLC, after just a short drive on this map, I found myself ready to plan a trip to this country in real life! SCS has completely raised their bar once again with one of the most scenic maps I have yet to experience. This map is eye candy in every single corner, especially the islands and the port cities. During my live streams, I kept asking "How did they make this?" The detail is even more than I thought possible and it is one of my favourite maps yet!" - RyaStream

"The Greece DLC is a stunning addition to ETS2. The mountains add a sense of splendour to every journey, with their twisting paths offering both challenging and breathtaking panoramas. As you explore further, landmarks like the Corinth Canal and Meteora Monasteries give a sense of history, making the map feel realistic. Some of the city roads can be narrow and challenging, but that’s part of what makes this DLC so special, it feels real. From the islands to the urban centres, every detail feels thoughtfully crafted. Greece in ETS2 feels alive, vibrant, and deeply rooted in its rich culture and history, making it an unforgettable addition to the game. I believe it’s a must-have for anyone who loves ETS2." - Milan

"The Greece DLC is not just beautiful, it adds seriously challenging routes for truckers to master! You'll be driving around the tightest of streets while admiring ancient monuments, stunning vistas, and incredible modern architecture. In my opinion, Greece may be the most varied map DLC yet for Euro Truck Simulator 2. So much detail is packed into every corner, and it's well worth venturing off the mainland to any of the five Greek islands. The new industries of olive oil and marble add a Greek flavour to the job market, while the addition of deliveries at hotels provides for some of the best parking challenges you'll ever encounter!" - Simulator Adventures

"I had such a good time with the Greece DLC. While cruising the beautiful roads, big and small, I could almost feel the Mediterranean heat outside the truck! I've been wanting to explore Europe in a truck, and with Euro Truck Simulator 2, I can. Sharing the trips with my viewers and fellow online players has brought me so many laughs and good memories. My favourite part is the ferries, hehe! The Greece DLC really shows how much the developers care about their game and fanbase. It struck me how detailed everything is, and it almost felt like exploring Greece for real! Thank you SCS Software for bringing us new adventures!" - TruckerCassie



We’d like to take a moment to express how amazed we are by the incredible efforts of our community in the #CruisingGreece World of Trucks Event. The community goal was to drive 200,000,000 km while delivering cargo to or from any city in Greece, a milestone you achieved in under two weeks. Wow! For those with a busy schedule over the holiday season, don’t worry, you still have until February 2, 2025, at 23:59 UTC to complete your personal goals. You can read the full event rules in our dedicated blog post.

To wrap things up, we want to thank you once again for your unwavering support, kind reviews, and constructive comments. Our developers continually work hard to deliver great content, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see it reflected in your positive feedback. Thank you all so much!
