Nordic Horizons: Oulu

by London

Hyvää päivää! As one of the northernmost countries in the world, Finland is best known for its breathtaking natural beauty, vast forests, & rich cultural heritage. In today’s blog, we’ll take a closer look at the city of Oulu, a destination you can explore and deliver to in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/f64cb88b579bead0e70c55af91717634257364b7.jpg As one of the oldest cities in northern Finland and the fifth-largest by population, Oulu offers a unique mix of architectural landmarks and economic significance, making it a key destination for truckers. Our team has recreated several large industrial zones around the city, including a food industry producer and a chemical factory. That isn't all however, as you'll be sure to discover so much more when you visit the city yourself! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/f0ac090eb1eb65662a377beabe99b84e7f788e7e.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/9a983a9b152f38498d11da97d5f6b3811cdccfcc.jpg Players wil...

Project Scandinavia Refresh

by London

Today, we're delighted to share with you a little more information about a project we have been working on for a while, the Scandinavia DLC Refresh. We have hinted at its existence during our recent Special Christmas 2024 Live Stream, so we thought we may just as well explain what it is all about. The motivation for starting this project was to bring the existing Scandinavia DLC content closer to our current standards, so that when you pass through it on the way to the new region covered by Nordic Horizons DLC, the difference is not too abrupt. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/ce9e960ee674184a298c5065f92c409ee8ce8aa4.jpg As one of our most popular and oldest expansions for ETS2, with over 5 million copies sold, we wanted to refresh the Scandinavia DLC to bring the region closer in quality with our newer additions. The ambition is not a total rework, but we aim for an extensive touch up, a “reskin” of the region with updated textures and technology. This will create a smoother driving transit...

Looking back at 2024!

by Tiktak

2024 has already come and gone. Before we dive into what is next, we thought it would be nice to take a moment and reflect on everything the past year has brought our way. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/0cadb0612ded9024f275d8ba144fc1675328635a.jpg We have made a lot of progress in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 in the past year. We released a few free updates for the games, new map expansions, trucks, trailers, paint jobs, and more! We're proud to have collaborated on some of these projects with some of the biggest companies in the industry, strengthening our partnerships and bringing exciting new content to our community. We believe these achievements have once again raised the bar, contributing to an even better gaming experience for all you truckers out there. Make sure to check out this fantastic video that captures the journey of our games and our company throughout 2024! We are very happy that we were able to release all of this new content for you.

SCS On The Road: IAA 2024

by London

Today, we're excited to share our experience attending this year's International Automobile Exhibition (IAA), hosted at the Hannover Messe venue in Hannover, Germany. This event is one of the most important on the calendar for truck manufacturers worldwide and serves as the leading platform for logistics, commercial vehicles, and the transport sector to showcase their products, innovations and ideas to the world. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/c553942515d0bcb361fb6424662a4a14c6070e39.jpg This year, we were honoured to have our simulation titles and 4D motion rigs featured across the exhibition floor, thanks to our amazing partners. This, of course, would not have been possible without the hard work of our colleagues at SCS Software, who transported all the necessary gear, including our 4D motion simulators (even the one usually kept in our office), from Prague to Hannover. Join Mark, Nemiro, and Oscar in this special On The Road Vlog as they travel to IAA and share their experiences from t...

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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/7ea3b101a9184796ac1beeef046a06a86ea90954.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/cc907f571715835fa0534a05640626d164a540f8.jpg 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.

Under the Hood - Sculpting

by London

An important aspect of creating realistic virtual representations of cities and towns in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator is not only the road networks and buildings, but also the recreation of important and unique landmarks in those areas. One such common landmark is statues, which are created from scratch by our talented digital sculptors, whom we've had the pleasure to talk to and share more about their work with you today! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/56784681adf1f1cf6148b91c460811d484f1c59c.jpg We spoke with Martina D and Věra Š, both of whom work in our Asset department and they create many of the statues along with a variety of other custom assets.
