That's why we are excited to announce the release of a brand new tuning pack for the Actros Truck. With almost an endless range of tuning options, this pack allows you to create your Actros just the way you like it.


With this new pack you are able to customise your mud flaps, bumpers, bull bars, grilles, logos, windshields, visors, fenders, door handles, side skirts, exhausts, dashboard sets, lights and much more!


We can't wait to see how your Actros looks using this latest tuning pack, so be sure to tag us on social media with your photos. Which parts of your truck will you tune-up first?

We have been super busy in the recent days. Our On The Road team had to split up to visit five different countries on three continents in the past two weeks! Finally we are back in the office today to prepare the summary of both the Goodyear event and the community screenshot contest.

It is clear that our World of Trucks events engage and entertain the player community, we have been in fact surprised by the level of participation. We were glad to see that nobody complained much when we extended the event to give people more time to complete all the event jobs. The numbers are in, and so many people finished 10 jobs and earned the achievement!



For the community screenshot contest, there were over 2,000 valid entries (and much more photos actually, as many of you posted more than one). Many of the shots were absolutely stunning! Same as with our previous competitions, judging those entries was a pretty hard task because there's always way more beautiful pictures than there are slots for the winners.



Nevertheless, it had to be done and here are the winners! Feel free to express your love for these pictures too; the names are hyperlinked, so you are welcome to click on their names and give them a like!

All the winners above will be contacted shortly via the same platform they entered through; if you're one of them, do check your messages and choose your reward from our e-shop!

Thank you all for participation in Goodyear event. Until next time!

We are always excited and humbled at the same time when we hear that our games have profoundly and positively affected the lives of our fans. Marcus Armstrong sent us his story:

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

To everyone at SCS Software, especially those dealing with Euro Truck Simulator and American Truck Simulator. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone involved, even though you have kind of lost a player.

I use to be an avid fan of the series playing Euro Truck Simulator, UK Truck Simulator and then both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, investing in steering wheels, Track IR and gear sticks for my PC.

Two years ago the company I worked for had been turning in a direction I was not overly comfortable with. I felt that it was moving away from its core values and what defined it as unique and I started considering an exit strategy. This exit strategy becomes more important when, out of a team of three, one of us had to take voluntary redundancy.

As the youngest team member in my mid-thirties, I decided that I would be in the best position to get started a new career, a career in different industry as I was a little burnt out doing what I was doing. I needed to be able to get into an industry where I could retrain quickly and earn what I was earning before, or more. I ended up, within a two month period, passing both HGV Class 2 and then Class 1 license. By the third month, I had a job with R.T. Keedwell which I have been doing for the last couple of years, driving a Mercedes Actros MP4 (which I am currently writing this from a truck stop for the night, good ol' Hotel Mercedes).



So why am I thanking you guys and gals at SCS? Well out of several industries I had been trained in; Web Dev, 3D Animation, Administration and Finance, it was ETS2 and ATS which I had enjoyed playing so much that I decided to take out a loan to cover the training costs and then base not just my career on, but my lifestyle as well, I am a Trucker (even grew the beard). I'm currently racking up 2500km a week driving all over the UK where no two days are quite the same and I meet countless people from the companies we haul for and other drivers.

SCS, you gave me the inspiration to venture out into a career I had never would have thought of and now love doing. So again, a huge heartfelt thank you and keep up the good work!

Thank you, Marcus, we are so happy for you! We wish you all the best and safe returns from your hauls.

Marcus is actually an Actros driver as you could notice from the text and photo. What a lucky coincidence - conveniently, we happen to have a very related project in the very final stages of development. More information will be available really soon.

We are back home after an exciting and exhausting marathon that is Gamescom.

It was our honor and joy to meet so many of our fans in person. Thank you for stopping by! We are proud to have captured the attention of thousands of visitors, with so many people ready to stand for hours in the long queue to give a try to our truck sim motion seat setups. There was a reward there - a chance to be the first to drive through segments of the upcoming American Truck Simulator - Utah and Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Road to the Black Sea map DLC expansions.

Of course, we are well aware that only a small fraction of our games' fan base can make it to any gaming expo. So if you are interested in at least getting an impression of the atmosphere of a major gaming show from our perspective, we have created a short video recap for you. We'd also like to thank all the hardware and equipment manufacturers for their support in making sure that playing our games at Gamescom has been a first-class experience.

Thank you, you're breathtaking! ːcozybethesdaː

Romania, known for its beautiful forested regions and mountain ranges, is also home to many preserved historical cities. Many of them feature buildings and landmarks that have stood there for many years, but also are home to a variety of different Soviet-era homes and apartment blocks.


As you drive on the roads in Romania in our upcoming map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2, Road to the Black Sea, you will be able to explore these unique cities for yourselves.


Many of these areas were chosen for their surrounding industries, such as steelworks or manufacturing, which plays an important part in the economy of the country.

When the time arrives, we are sure you will love exploring these cities for yourself. You never know what piece of history you may find around the corner.

It's the start of Gamescom 2019 hosted in Cologne, Germany! We are excited to be among so many different game developers and communities at this great event. We are also happy to be showcasing our games and expansions in a new and unique booth this year, which has been built in a truck garage-styled theme.



It features not only our famous SCS Motion Simulators but a range of PC setups with a variety of accessories and PC peripherals. A huge thank you to Thrustmaster, Steelseries, Tobii , Intel, Alienware and Speedseats for providing these fantastic setups. 





So make sure if you are visiting this week, to swing by Hall 6 at Booth B050, and say hello to our developer team and take a drive of ETS2 or ATS, which may even feature a few roads from future expansion. We'd love to also see you take plenty of photos & videos, just use the hashtag #GamescomTrucking and we will be sure to see them.

If are unable to make it, don't worry! You can keep up to date with us with what we're up to on location from our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook Pages (SCS Software, Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator).

Today we are happy to be able to share with you a selection of new industry prefabs, which we have created for our upcoming map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2, Road to the Black Sea.


The Black Sea region is home to a wide variety of large and diverse industries. From coastal shipyards to inland mining quarries, they provide a large economy for the surrounding cities and countries. Our team involved in the process have taken inspirations and created relevant and real industrial facilities as the basis of these prefabs.


We hope you enjoy this batch of screenshots which feature some of these upcoming industries.

The Goodyear Roll-Out ended up being so short that it took us by surprise honestly. Three days? For real?! We assumed that it would take over a week for you to make those 300K deliveries. We knew our fan community is very dedicated, but we still underestimated your commitment. We will know better next time.



Ultimately, over forty thousand people managed to complete the event after weadded an extra day to complete your personal goal, but it is obviousthere are still many more players driving the events for joy, or hunting for event-specific World of Trucks Achievements - and they don’t want to miss out forever on this one.
After weighing the pros and cons, we decided that we should take your suggestions to heart. Today, we are reopening the event in a limited capacity for all players, especially those who were on the edge of completing their personal goal of 10 deliveries. The rules have changed slightly; since the community goal has been reached already, there is no longer a chance to win a free Steam activation key for the DLC. But, you can still earn your World of Trucks Achievement and Goodyear Blimp hanging Steam inventory item.
This also gives us an additional opportunity to push the pedal to the metal with cross-promotion, and show the kind people at Goodyear that we can treat their brand withall the attention and respect we can provide.

The Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC is available on Steam now and remains a prize for those who previously finished the event during its first run.


At the same time, we're complementing the extended event with a community contest. Since there's no need to race now, why not make some cool screenshots of your Goodyear themed truck to share with others? Of course, you get a chance to win some nice prizes too!

• Tune-up your truck (and trailer optionally) using the Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC.
• Take an in-game screenshot - either of your truck (and trailer optionally) or inside the cabin of your truck featuring the new accessories.
• Use the vanilla game only (mods are not permitted this time).
• Share these screenshots either on your Twitter or Instagram profiles with the #GoodyearRollOut hashtag and tag Goodyear's and our profiles. The direct links to these profiles are as follows.
  
  • SCS Software Twitter
  • Goodyear Twitter

The Voice Navigation feature introduced in the 1.35 Update for both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 has garnered a large number of positive reviews. We have also heard our community's feedback loud and clear, that they want to see more language options included.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/227300/announcements/detail/1612769067161257003

As promised in the announcement above, today's mini-update will see the inclusion of 6 new language options (and there will be some more in the future). In the meantime, be sure to check our Steam Workshop for the huge number of GPS voice-over mods there created by our great community (ETS2, ATS). For now, we will be focusing our time on future projects and other surprises.

We are also excited to release this video interview with both voice talents behind the English versions of the feature - Skye Bennett and Doug Cockle, both of whom have had experience voicing video game characters and in many other roles. Perhaps you can learn something new about these incredibly talented and well-known voice actors.

300,000 completed tyre deliveries, what an achievement! Our community never fails to impress us when working together to complete our World of Trucks events. The Goodyear Roll-Out event saw over 150,000 deliveries made in less than 24 hours, and we admit we were amazed to see that this event would be completed in such a small amount of time.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/227300/announcements/detail/2700389729474876279

To allow everyone the chance to complete their personal goals and earn a free Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC key, we will allow players to participate until Saturday 3rd of August 23:59 CEST (21:59 UTC) when the event will come to a close.

For those who have already completed their personal contribution, you can now claim your Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC key on the World of Trucks website by clicking onto My Page → Events. This key can only be activated via Steam.
