Great news from SCS Software presenting ,,Nordic Horizons DLC" a new map expansion soon for Euro Truck Simulator 2 game.

Our fans always keep asking us what it is that we are working on. Why are there periods of time in our communication when we focus more on one game or the other? Creating a major map DLC is a process that takes several years from pre-production to optimization and release. We usually hesitate to start talking about a project too early. There is always the concern if we are able to manage expectations. At the same time, we feel that it is useful to give the players an insight into what we are working on. It's important for promotion as well as to get some early feedback.

Fortunately, we are now in a position where we dare to talk about a second map expansion that we currently have in development for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Yep, the ETS2 map team is now pushing in three directions, having more projects in the pipeline at the same time. In addition to the extensive rework efforts and the already announced Greece DLC, we are eager to reveal that one more map expansion is already in the early stages of production! You can start looking forward to exploring the enchanting landscapes of Northern Europe in the Nordic Horizons DLC!

You can look forward to exploring the expansive fjords of Norway all the way to the Arctic Ocean, occasionally crossing breathtaking bridges or going through underwater tunnels. The experience is elevated by the inclusion of a large number of narrow roads, offering a unique driving challenge. Keep an eye out for reindeer along the way, whose presence adds a touch of wildlife to your scenic route. Fishing villages dotted along the coast will further immerse players in the rich coastal culture.

Along the way, you will encounter industrial areas featuring mines and paper mills, adding an extra layer of realism to your trucking adventure.
Finland's Lapland, with its dense coniferous forests to the expansive barren tundra, presents a stark contrast to the southern part of the country. The DLC emphasizes smooth roads, ensuring a zen-like driving experience for players to truly immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings.

In the realm of trucking, the DLC pays homage to the rich history of Scandinavia, home to iconic brands like Scania and Volvo. Truck enthusiasts will appreciate the authentic representation of the region's trucking legacy.
