Today, S.S.P.P. forces were deployed to Pripyat. What exactly happened beyond the anomalous barrier remains a mystery. However, witnesses across the Zone report damaged helicopters retreating toward the southern perimeter.

What could this mean? Has Operation Pole failed? Or is it just a tactical move before the final stage?

All we can do now is watch…

As part of the Project Scandinavia Refresh for Euro Truck Simulator 2, we’re excited to introduce a brand-new addition to the map: the city of Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city! Our talented teams have been hard at work bringing this fresh location to life, and today we're happy to share a look at their progress.


Known as the City of Smiles, Aarhus will be accessible to drivers travelling along the E45 motorway, with two major highway junctions leading into the city. Aarhus itself features a blend of modern infrastructure and thriving industry, making it a must-visit destination for truckers!


One of the major landmarks in our recreation of Aarhus is Dokk1, a striking multi-purpose library and cultural hub located on the harborfront. It is the largest public library in Scandinavia and was named Public Library of the Year in 2016. Nearby, you’ll also spot the Havnearbejdernes Klub Århus, a historic waterfront building that once served as a social space for dock workers.


An industry we couldn’t leave out is the Port of Aarhus, Denmark’s largest container port, responsible for handling more than 50% of the country’s container traffic. Consistently ranked among the most productive container terminals in Europe for crane moves per hour and overall berth efficiency, it plays a vital role in national logistics and supports a strong local economy. We're sure drivers will find plenty of job offers here!


Surrounding the port are numerous industrial sites, large and small, including a chemical factory, which players will be able to deliver to and from. Be sure to brush up on your ADR skills before heading in!

Our team has also included several cultural and architectural highlights to give the city a distinct identity. Drivers can come across sculptures such as “Historiske Spor” by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt, as well as two unique art murals that bring a splash of local character to the streets. While exploring, you might also catch glimpses of other distant landmarks such as the International Student Centre, Domen Aarhus, Aarhus City Hall (with its tower visible on the skyline), and even the spire of Aarhus Cathedral.


In the heart of the city, players will also find the Aarhus Bus Station. This central hub has been carefully recreated with attention to detail and will eventually play a role in the recently announced 'Project Coaches' module. Whether you're delivering goods or preparing to transport passengers, Aarhus should have something for everyone!


We’re happy to bring this much-requested addition to the Scandinavia DLC as part of the ongoing refresh project, and we look forward to sharing more from this development in the future. We always appreciate your support and feedback and until next time, keep on truckin’!

The first month of early access has been so freaking cool. But we're only getting started. 9 Kings is in Early Access, and that means it's improving daily with constant updates. We're working hard, and we can't wait to share everything we've got in the oven with you.

Today, let's talk about what you can expect!

Over the month, we've tried to address your key feedback points and improve the core design of 9 Kings. Bug fixing, performance improvements, balancing, and QoL have all been central to our roadmap and will continue to be. There's much to be done, but as we move forward, we really want to expand 9 Kings with more content that will help it reach its full potential. So far, we've introduced you to a new deck of Rainbow cards, a new achievement pool, new decrees, and several QoL features. But let's talk about what's coming next.

9 Kings' meta-progression design has been one of the main feedback points we've been getting from you. And it's not going unnoticed: we've always wanted to add more depth to the game's progression and we will share the first part of this evolution soon. We're currently revamping the perk system to balance longevity with strategic decision making. In other words, we want you to have more reasons to keep playing 9 Kings without making the game too grindy. more unbalanced, or compromising our minimalistic design. Spoiler: you'll be able to level up beyond level 9.

New game modes will soon add more depth to the game, but we hope that the revamped perk system will give players more reasons to keep coming back, while still requiring you to be creative with a clear pool of resources. Expect the first version by the end of June!

You might've seen some spoilers of our dear 8th king. But we still want to keep some mystery in the air. For now, we'll tell you this: its 9 cards, perks, and play style will add a new layer to every single build you've ever explored in 9 Kings.

We created a clear canvas for the game so that we could make sure that every new card is meaningful and adds a potential synergy to everything else in the game. We hope we can achieve this here, in patch 0.8!

In between major updates (0.8, 0.9, and 1.0), we'll keep the constant content patches coming. These will not only optimize the game but also bring new content to the table such as new decrees, perks, Rainbow cards, achievements, Endless mode improvements, balancing, and more. We're always listening to the community and figuring out ways we can improve. We take EA very seriously and we want to make sure that when you come back to 9 Kings after a month you really feel the difference.

As with our 8th king, you probably know who the last one is. And by the name, you might assume it's a pretty ambitious one. And this is what we're aiming for. We can't wait to share our ideas with you and we hope we can build the best version of it together during EA.

The 9th king is coming in Q3 and, with it, the core 9 Kings experience will be concluded, so that we can then focus on the biggest and final landmark before 1.0.

We're hoping this can become something very cool. We'll get into more details soon, but once the foundation of 9 Kings is set, we have plans to expand it and elevate its replayability with pretty interesting new game modes that can work very well with our scope and vision. As we make progress throughout Q3, we'll add more details to the second half of this roadmap.

We can't give you many spoilers yet, but we want you to know we're working hard and thinking about this in our sleep. It's gonna be fun. We just hope you understand that getting the foundation of 9 Kings right before taking that step is gonna be key. We don't want to disappoint you and want to make sure we get all the pieces right!

And this is it for today. We hope this first roadmap helps give you a clearer perspective on where we're at and where we're going. And if not, please don't hesitate to reach out in the forums and on Discord.

Thanks for being a part of this journey with us. We hope you stick around and help us make 9 Kings the best game it can be.

We've been reading through all your Steam reviews, and we appreciate the feedback we've been receiving. We'd love to continue seeing more of your thoughts! It helps us know what to focus on for each upcoming patch.

Love,
Sad Socket team
