Today, we're happy to share with you another blogpost focusing on one of the many cities which will be found in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Today, we're headed to Norway to give you a first look at the city of Bodø!


Located just north of the Arctic Circle, Bodø is the second biggest city in Northern Norway after Tromsø. Originally established as a trading town, it has a rich history in fishing and mining, which gave the town prosperity. During World War II, much of the town was unfortunately destroyed, but it has been completely rebuilt and enlarged, with a few surviving structures preserved. These can be found in our virtual recreation of Bodø as custom built buildings.




During the 1940's, due to the lack of housing, the Swedish Government helped build 107 apartments. This small area now known as Svenskebyen can be found in the heart of the city.

Today, Bodø is a bustling and vibrant city, with plenty of roads, landmarks and industries for truckers in our upcoming DLC to explore and discover. From the Stormen Concert Hall to the Aviation Musuem, we are sure you'll enjoy the sightseeing opportunities!





But let's not forget that we have work to do! As a trucker, you'll be able to find job contracts and deliver to depots at the City Airport, supermarket, the Yacht builders' Shipyard and more. If you enjoy your stay in Bodø, consider purchasing a garage in the city as your new headquarters or as an expansion to your current company.


We hope you enjoyed checking out the city of Bodø in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. If you are excited to get trucking in this region, be sure to add to your Steam Wishlist. Until next time, keep on truckin'!

We are excited to share with our community that the 1.51 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now officially released! Packed with new content, reworked map sections, UI changes, bug fixes and more, let's dive in and take a look at what's in store.


Before that, we have to give a huge shoutout to everyone who participated in the Open Beta phase, shared feedback, and reported bugs. Your invaluable contributions have allowed us to fine-tune content and eliminate bugs that slipped through the cracks initially. We hope that you will enjoy the new features, changes, and more that come with this update!


One of the first and most prominent changes you will encounter in this update is a complete redesign of our Title Screen. Whilst keeping in line with our recent user interface rework, we wanted a design which is easy to navigate and understand for all players.


First and foremost, one of the main differences you can notice about the new Title Screen is the focus on a truck in the centre of the screen. On the left, you can find the menu which allows easy access to the more important features of the game, such as Options, and other sub-menus such as the DLC (formerly DLC Browser) and the Mod Manager, which displays the number of MODs active next to it if you have any installed.

To access your Profile Manager, just simply click your profile widget located in the top right of the menu screen.


Functionally, we have also made navigation more comfortable with a gamepad or a steering wheel, requiring less time reaching for a keyboard from the moment you launch ETS2 or ATS. This design also leaves us space to make tweaks and changes where needed, as well as make additions in the future.

As part of our ongoing Germany Rework project, we are excited to announce that the cities of Bremen, Kassel, Osnabrück, and Magdeburg have been completely re-worked and are included for free as part of the 1.51 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2.



Players checking out these areas can travel on new and improved road networks, deliver to accurately represented industries in the area, discover and explore landmarks and more! Each of these areas has been rebuilt completely from scratch, utilizing new mapping techniques and technology.

Eager to learn more about each city and their update? You can read about all the changes in these cities in our individual blog posts which you can find here!



We hope you enjoy rediscovering these cities again! There is plenty to explore and we would love to hear your feedback, see your screenshots, and more. Be sure to share them with us on our official SCS Software forum, or on our social media channels!

In this update, we have slightly reworked all of the in-game intros for every city in the Italia and Beyond the Baltic Sea DLCs with an ownable garage. With seventeen cities in the Italia DLC and twenty-four in the Beyond the Baltic Sea DLC, a total of 41 cities have received new or updated Custom City Intros!



We've also taken the time to create a more realistic visualization of a truck's interior shadows through our new tool called Interior Shadow Tweaker. It allows us to create a simplified cage around the cabin of the truck blocking incoming light thus improving the realism of the lighting reflected in the interior of the cabin. No more washed-out materials in the interior when you are passing another truck, lamp or police beacon. We hope you enjoy this small but notable improvement to your trucking experience!








The main change is the addition of a search bar for easier navigation across all settings categories. When a search is conducted, matches are displayed in the current setting category, and sections where the search term also appears are highlighted.


We have also reorganized the existing options in the settings for better clarity. These options are now divided into subcategories within each section. Additionally, two new categories, "Interface" and "Accessibility," have been added to the bottom menu for better clarity.


We've also introduced some changes that provide ease of access when it comes to changing the Desktop Background in ETS2. You can now change your menu background directly using a shortcut from the main menu, or alternatively, you can access the same option via the interface section in your settings.


However, that's not all! We've now also made it possible to preview your backgrounds before changing them. Simply click on the background of your choice via the carousel, and you'll be presented with a short preview of how it will look, before confirming your selection.


Players will also be notified through a small widget on the main menu if they have received a new Desktop Background option as part of an event reward or update. Clicking on this will also direct you to the new settings that have been implemented in this update.

As a bonus to better desktop background visualization, we've also added a new background named 'Black light studio'. We hope that you like it! Be sure to check it out.

We are enhancing the controller settings system, which will enable players to control the game with ease and offer them more flexibility and control. These changes will also pave the way for exciting future projects! Not only will you now be able to control more game features while using only your controller, but we also tried to set up the controls in a way that resembles driving a vehicle in real life which we hope will be natural and more immersive for you!



Although these changes will improve the controller settings and make it easier for players using controllers to engage with the game, there may be some cases where customized control settings could be affected. Unfortunately, players who have heavily modified their control layouts through the Steam controller configuration UI and shifted them from the default settings may see their custom configurations reset to default after the update.

We're also happy to introduce the option to enable and disable the Blind Spot Sensor and Automatic Differential Lock.


The Automatic Differential Lock helps manage traction in difficult driving conditions by automatically engaging when needed. The Blind Spot Sensor provides visual and audible warnings to improve safety when changing lanes.

We hope you enjoy these features, which ultimately allow you to tailor your trucking simulation experience based on how you enjoy it!

In this episode hosted by Nemiro, we travelled to Germany to take a look around Kögel Trailer's factory. We also had the pleasure to meet with Sebastian Hönig, Kögel's product manager who has been working there for all his professional career.

The 1.51 update will bring a change to the way controllers work in both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. We are enhancing the controller settings system, which will enable players to control the game with ease and offer them more flexibility and control. These changes will also pave the way for exciting future projects!


These updates will introduce some new features designed to improve the overall gameplay experience for players using controllers. One of the key improvements is the addition of preset settings for modifiers, which will allow players to control essential game features directly through the controller and comfortably play the game without the need for a keyboard or other device.

Not only will you now be able to control more game features while using only your controller, but we also tried to set up the controls in a way that resembles driving a vehicle in real life which we hope will be natural and more immersive for you!



Although these changes will improve the controller settings and make it easier for players using controllers to engage with the game, there may be some cases where customized control settings could be affected. Unfortunately, players who have heavily modified their control layouts through the Steam controller configuration UI and shifted them from the default settings may see their custom configurations reset to default after the update.

Although issues like this can happen, we hope you will enjoy the exciting future projects that this update will enable us to develop. Until then, make sure to stay up to date on any news by following us on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

In our upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, you'll discover a variety of unique industries throughout the country. In today's blog, we want to highlight one of the larger factories where drivers can deliver to and from. Let's take a closer look!


Located in the northern area of Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece, you'll find a pretty sizeable Cement Plant! Built and established in 1962, the plant supports 300+ direct and indirect jobs for the local economy and beyond. Its virtual creation in the Greece DLC has been built by our talented teams and features custom Landmark models, a detailed layout, and a recreation of one of the largest-scaled artistic mural projects in Europe, which spans across many of the buildings in the plant.





This impressive industry can be seen from across the city, including from the highway; it simply cannot be missed! You can be sure to find plenty of job contracts available to and from this plant, as it is one of the leading producers of cement in the country.





We hope you enjoyed this look into one of the larger industries you'll find in our upcoming Greece DLC, and we look forward to sharing more previews from this work-in-progress addition in the near future. Until then, if you'd like to support our development, you can do so by adding the Greece DLC to your Steam Wishlist! Thank you to all those who have done already. Until next time, keep on truckin'!
