Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

[p]Recently, we had the exciting opportunity to be a part of the Find Your Next Game online showcase, a digital event that runs alongside Gamescom which highlights upcoming titles and projects across the gaming industry. We imagine some of you may have caught our special feature there, but just in case you didn't, let us share with you more about it![/p][p]
This year, we are proud to have our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 selected to be part of this year’s FYNG lineup! One of the conditions on being part of this digital showcase is that all featured video content has to be exclusive to the show and not seen before on any other platforms. So, our talented video team got to work and created a fresh, extended trailer made especially for this showcase, offering viewers a glimpse of the stunning roads, cities, towns, landscapes, landmarks, and industries that await you in this upcoming expansion.[/p][p][/p][p]Now that the show has concluded, we are happy to release the trailer publicly, which you can now watch on our official SCS Software YouTube channel. Take a watch of it below, and if you enjoyed it, make sure to leave a like, and comment! It really helps support our channel and future releases.

We’d like to thank the Find Your Next Game team for featuring us in this year’s event and for providing a platform where we could share this new content with a wider audience. We’re looking forward to showing you even more from Nordic Horizons in the near future. If you like what you see, be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist. We'd like to thank you all for your support so far, and until next time, keep on truckin'!

[p]Välkommen till Kiruna! In today's blog, we have another glimpse of what's coming for the Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Get comfortable and enjoy this little preview of the city of Kiruna, before you head there yourself in this upcoming map expansion.[/p][p][/p][p]Situated 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, Kiruna is actually Sweden's northernmost town! This location is unique as people living there experience two months of midnight sun in the summer, and it's also an ideal place to watch the magical northern lights from the beginning of autumn to the end of winter. [/p][p]While the town is not the largest in terms of population, it has so much to offer. Not far from it, visitors can find the country's highest mountain, Kebnekaise. It's also home to the world's largest underground iron ore mine. And let's not forget about the stunning beauty of the nature surrounding Kiruna, with forests, tundra, rivers, and an uncountable number of lakes.[/p][p][/p][p]The iron ore mine will be featured in our game as a massive depot where players can deliver cargo, both at ground level and deep underground. The Kiruna mine will become the largest custom depot in ETS2 and also the first to be located underground. It's a truly fascinating operation, with over 130 years of history. Each day, the mine produces enough iron ore to build six Eiffel Towers. The depot is complex, so players will need to rely on a full diagram of the area and custom signs placed throughout the mine.[/p][p][/p][p]Mining lies at the heart of Kiruna's economy, and its impact is so significant that parts of the city are being relocated to ensure the safety of its residents. This includes the construction of a new city centre three kilometres east of the original one.[/p][p][/p][p]This beautiful new city centre is being recreated by our asset and map teams through detailed landmark buildings. This includes the city's new town hall, featuring the original historic clock tower that has been carefully restored and relocated from its former site, along with several other notable buildings surrounding the new town centre.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition, truckers will be able to deliver cargo to the local railway terminal, a construction site, a recycling depot, and various other industries located around the town. [/p][p]We hope we got you excited to visit this city when the Nordic Horizons DLC is released. If we did, make sure to add this map expansion to your Steam Wishlist! Remember to stay tuned for more updates from the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2 by following us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and YouTube, or by signing up for our newsletter. Happy haulin'![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
