After the last blog post about the upcoming phase of Germany Rework, we’ve seen many questions about whether the popular city of Hamburg will be included in this phase as well. Well, wonder no more as we can officially confirm that Hamburg will receive a completely new look in the 1.48 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2!


Founded in the 9th century, Hamburg quickly became a prominent trading hub due to its advantageous position along the Elbe River and its access to the North Sea. Throughout the centuries, Hamburg flourished as a key member of the Hanseatic League, an influential medieval trading alliance. Its success as a trading center led to economic prosperity and cultural development, attracting merchants and artists from around the world. Today, Hamburg remains a vital economic powerhouse, boasting one of Europe's busiest ports and a thriving maritime industry.









Having paid extra detail to the local port, after rebuilding Hamburg from the ground up, this bustling port city will captivate with its grandeur and magnificence, offering not only an expanded size with an addition of Maschener Kreuz but also a delightful passage over the Köhlbrand Bridge. While our focus primarily lay in embracing the city’s essence, the city has unveiled many new surprises when it comes to landmarks, such as the presence of towers near gas stations, where our dedicated team made pit stops during our small research expedition.







Hamburg concludes the list of German cities that will receive a new look in the upcoming 1.48 update. We are however excited for what the future might bring so remember to keep your eyes on the blog in the future or follow us on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) to stay in touch with any latest announcements.

The West Balkans region is experiencing a construction boom, with ambitious projects reshaping its urban landscapes. From revitalizing historic sites to constructing modern infrastructure, the region is embracing construction as a driver of economic growth.


With each building rising skyward, there is an ever-growing demand for more materials, tools and equipment to support these projects, and that's where you come in!





In our upcoming West Balkans DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, you'll find new construction site depots across a few different cities. From various buildings to wind farms, there'll be no shortage of jobs for truckers in this part of the world.






Just as important as the active construction sites themselves are the depots which provide the necessary equipment and materials needed for the job. Players will be able to pick up loads from material store depots, such as warehouses and shops with the necessary cargo needed for the receiver.







Our asset team has also been hard at work constructing and creating new assets for these depots, to really bring them to life. We hope you enjoy the work and detail that has been put into this booming industry in the West Balkans.




Fancy reading up on some the newest infrastructure to be completed in the West Balkans? Why not check out our recent blog on Bridges, which contains the recently constructed Pelješac Bridge. While we're still hard at work completing this upcoming DLC, you can also help out by adding the West Balkans DLC to your Steam Wishlist. It really helps support our projects, so thank you if you already have. We'll see you on the roads until next time!

Among other changes in the upcoming rework of German cities in Euro Truck Simulator 2, you will also be able to set out on a captivating journey through the reimagined city of Kiel. In this blog post, we'll dive into the details of the extensive work of our map designers and show you how they managed to bring the city up to the current standards.


Kiel is a city rich in history and enchanting charm, situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea in northern Germany. With its origins dating back to the 13th century, Kiel has a fascinating past that has shaped its present-day character. Initially a small fishing village, it flourished into a bustling maritime hub renowned for shipbuilding, trade, and naval prowess.

The reworked Kiel has undergone a complete transformation after being rebuilt from the ground up. The surrounding roads and highways have been revamped, along with the layout of the city, which provides a new driving route through a residential area that leads to a bustling shopping zone and the heart of the city. The market zone features a service station and a supermarket depot, catering to all truckers' needs.





As you continue your journey, you will reach the central area of Kiel, where the Gablenzbrücke bridge offers a breathtaking view of Kiel Central Station and the panoramic beauty of the city with a number of landmarks. Just a short distance from the historic district, you can explore the newly designed port area, featuring a shipyard depot with landmark vessels and submarines. We hope the authenticity and charm of the port area will add to the overall experience of discovering Kiel's maritime heritage.





The garage in Kiel has been relocated close to the shore, providing not only a place to stay at a convenient location but also a mesmerizing view of Kiel Central Station and the opposite shore of the city. Additionally, strategically placed depots, including an IKA depot on the outskirts and the Load Unload Plaza in the city center, ensure efficient cargo operations.



The second phase of the rework of the German cities is arriving in the 1.48 update, and we hope you are really eager to get your chance of exploring a number of cities in a new way. To stay in touch with all the latest news regarding the project or the game update itself, leave us a follow on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and you will never miss out on anything important.

As you may know, a part of our map team have been busy reworking Germany, to bring it up to our current map standards. Today, we are happy to share with you an exciting project which we have worked closely with our friends at Feldbinder on. Let's take a closer look shall we?


Welcome to Winsen, a charming town located southeast of Hamburg, and home to the renowned Feldbinder factory; which we are happy to announce, will be available for owners of the Feldbinder DLC in the upcoming 1.48 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Our map team have worked together with the team at Feldbinder to recreate this facility in-game with as accurately as possible.



Its real life counterpart, covers a massive 90000 m² area of industrial real estate, including a crane-accessible hall space, which hosts operations associated with the processing of aluminium for special silo trucks of any volume. Along with the vehicle production process, this facility is also home to all of the central functions associated with sales and administration of Feldbinder, as well as the central department associated with the global sales of spare parts.



Drivers in Euro Truck Simulator 2 will be able to deliver to and from 2 new depots within the factory area, one for dropping off much needed cargo, parts and more, and another area for picking up brand new trailers fresh off the factory line to deliver to businesses and customers around Europe.



A small part of the surrounding suburb of Winsen has also been recreated by our map team. Whilst this area is more a scenic pass through, we are sure you'll still find it pleasant to drive through.









We'd like to thank the wonderful team at Feldbinder for all their help on this project. Without them, it wouldn't of been possible! We can't wait for you to explore it all for yourselves. We'll be sure to let you know once its ready. Until then, keep on truckin'!

Last month, we revealed the first city that will receive a new look in the second phase of the rework of German cities that is coming in the 1.48 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Today, we are very excited to let you know that Rostock will be a part of this phase as well, and there are many changes coming to this historic city.



The city has been rebuilt from scratch with a brand-new layout, along with the E55 and E22 roads and highways around Rostock which have also been modified and redesigned. As you enter the city from the E55, you will drive through the logistics part of Rostock, which features a garage, a service station, a truck dealer (Renault), and a supermarket depot.







As you leave the logistics part of the city, you will approach the historical part of Rostock, where you will be greeted by a stunning view of three churches: St. Peter, St. Nicholas, and St. Mary. Across from the historical part of the city is a newly constructed harbor area, where players can look forward to the new marina depot. The harbor area also features landmarks such as Mönchentor gate, houses with unique architecture, icebreaker Stephan Jantzen, as well as Circus Fantasia a little further on.







Rostock is located on the shores of the Baltic Sea and at the mouth of the Varnava River. The Varnava flows into the sea in the north of the city, and at this confluence is the port of Rostock. Players can follow the city circuit to reach the port, which has four parts that feature unique depots that copy the industry of the Rostock port. Moreover, a new wind tower factory depot is designed specifically for this port. Players can also catch ferries to Gedser and Trelleborg from the port of Rostock and there is also a new railway terminal depot just under the ferry.




So, freunde, how much are you looking forward to this phase of rework of German cities? Let us know in the comments! There are still a couple of locations we’d like to show you in the future, so, to not miss out on any official news, give us a follow on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) and keep an eye out for any updates.

Grüezi, welcome to Zurich, Switzerland - a city that offers a perfect blend of modernity and tradition, set amidst stunning natural beauty. You may already be familiar with this charming compact city in Euro Truck Simulator 2, however today, we are happy to share with you a look into the transformation that has been carried out in our ongoing Switzerland Rework project.



As we've done for many cities in rework projects, the current 'old' city of Zurich in ETS2 was completely deleted so that our team could rebuild the entire area from scratch. This allows us to work with new tools and techniques that were not available or known to us previously when the base game was created.





From landmarks such as the Prime Tower, Zurich Museum, to the Hardbrucke and Limmat river, our team has been hard at work reworking the city in detail. Behind each city, you'll find numerous industries looking for drivers to transport goods and Zurich is no exception. From small local businesses to large industrial depots, truckers will have no shortage of jobs in this area. A car dealership, train loading depot, electronics factory, gas plants are just some of the industries you'll be able to deliver to and from in and around the city.




Our team have also paid particular attention to the road network in and around Zurich, bringing some of the iconic bridges, intersections and highway junctions into Euro Truck Simulator 2. Cars and Trucks are not the only vehicles sharing the road in the city however, you'll also have to keep an eye out for Trams.




There is a lot of work and attention that has gone into Zurich, so we don't want to ruin it all once! We will leave it up to you to explore when the time comes. Are you excited to visit? Let us know in the comments!





We hope you enjoyed seeing all of the progress out teams have made on the Switzerland Rework. We look forward to sharing more inside looks on the development progress in the near future. Be sure to follow us on our Social Media pages to keep up to date with all the latest. Uf Widerluege!

The oil industry in Albania has a long history, dating back to the early 1900s when the country began commercial oil production. Today, Albania has a relatively small oil industry compared to other countries in the region, but it remains an important contributor to the country's economy.



The town of Fier, located in southwest, is one of the main centres of oil production in the country; which we've recreated in our upcoming West Balkans DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Here, drivers will be able to take on delivery contracts from the oil well, which is the first of its kind in ETS2.







Our team have paid particular attention to detail to this industry, which features a completely new depot with new assets which have been custom made. The surrounding area has also been built around this new industry, bringing players a more true to life experience when delivery from this area.






The oil extracted from these wells are transported to refineries and storage facilities located elsewhere in the country; so be assured there will be plenty of opportunities to haul from here and across the West Balkans region.






We look forward to sharing more in-depth development blogs in the future which will feature local industries and more. Like what you see? Consider adding the West Balkans DLC to your Steam Wishlist, it really helps support our studio and we thank those that have done so already!
