Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

[p]With the release of update 1.56, we are pleased to reveal an exciting addition to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 – Schmitz Cargobull Trailer Pack. Our collaboration with Schmitz Cargobull continues to grow, and this update introduces new trailer types and features that expand your hauling experience.[/p][p][/p][p]The highlight of this update is the Schmitz S.CS High Capacity Transport (HCT). This configuration features two trailers connected with a dolly. Schmitz Cargobull now becomes the second brand in Euro Truck Simulator 2 to feature a 32 m HCT trailer setup.[/p][p][/p][p]Also arriving in this update is the Schmitz S.KO City chassis, equipped with a steering axle, which provides greater manoeuvrability in tighter spaces. While this feature is primarily aimed at navigating urban environments, in Euro Truck Simulator 2, you are free to take it anywhere you like. Whether threading through narrow streets or tackling longer journeys, this new option adds variety and flexibility to your trailer fleet.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to these trailer configurations, we’re also introducing new lighting options across Schmitz Cargobull S.CS, S.KO, S.BO, and S.KI trailers. These lights proudly display the Schmitz Cargobull logo, adding an extra layer of authenticity to your setup.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve got plenty more to share as update 1.56 gets closer, so keep an eye out for the latest reveals.

[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'!
