Scandinavia reveal

As we are getting closer to the finish line on ETS2 Scandinavia DLC, it's time to show you more of what we have in store for you. Here is a small scale map to reveal the destination cities we are putting into this world expansion. This little map doesn't tell the whole story - the highways, roads and city streets are now a much more detailed system than what we currently have in the older parts of our ETS2 universe.


We have dedicated a lot of time and attention to recreating Scandinavian sights and landmarks in order to make the scenery more vibrant and lifelike. We tried hard to distill the looks and sights of the region to stay true to its spirit, and in the process created a lot of new assets to make driving more varied and the exploration more interesting.



The scenery is additionally supplemented with new delivery types and unique locations such as Scania and Volvo Trucks factories. Since ferry transport plays important role in this area, Scandinavia DLC also will feature numerous ports and deliveries aimed at supporting those locations.

  3. Will this affect the Promod version of Scandinavia or does it enhance it?

    1. This DLC is for those who don't use map mods. There will be a conflict between the two as they're in the same area. The Promods team will adapt to the DLC map a bit after official release, but it will take some time to do that. Either way, I'm looking forward to it.

  9. You're destroying ProMods! STOP IT!

    Replies
    1. we don't all use promods or any mods no one is forcing you to use dlc, like no one is forcing us to hack the game/mod

      Delete
    2. This is not going to destroy Promods. Yes it will break the map temporarily until they get the map updated but it will most certainly not put them out of "business" as modders. If you notice the DLC does not contain any cities in Finland and does not have some of the more Northern cities that Promods has. Promods also includes a large number of cities in France as well as changes to other parts of the map.

      @Martin Cooper - I would prefer you didn't use the phrase "hack the game." Hacking implies that installing mods for the game hurts other people or hurts the developer itself. I would argue against that because I don't think the game would still be anywhere near as popular without mods.

    3. And you're underestimating SCS Software's work!

    9. dumbest comment ever. Promods are MODS. You have to be a fool to tell a developer to NOT release OFFICIAL CONTENT because of a mod. Developers don't generally take mods into account in terms of what they can add to the game that hasn't already been created yet because they mainly look at OFFICIAL CONTENT. It doesn't matter if a modding team releases content for the entirely of Europe that doesn't have roads yet. IT'S NOT AN OFFICIAL RELEASE and therefore is not a factor in whether or not a dev team releases that type of content themselves. This applies for ALL GAMES throughout the entire gaming industry.

    1. Agreed.! Denmarks second biggest city (Aarhus 260.000 inhabitants) and fifth biggest (Esbjerg 72.000 inhabitants) are not in the map, that is disapointing, especialy when taken in to account that other, way smaller cities are in the map.

      Anyways, I look forward to the release of this dlc.

  14. @ SCS - Are we going to get more drivers for hire? With more garages available to buy in the new cities, we need more. I have two profiles, and both of them have already employed all the drivers, I would really like to have more than the 154 that we currently have available.

    1. Said people have no understanding of how much work goes into game development and think that it takes no time at all to create a massive amount of work. These people are part of the instant gratification mentality in which they just want it now now now now now without any thought as to what it takes to make that work come to fruition.
      Those people will constantly complain non-stop like they've always done...but none of them have ever worked in game development before.

  36. It is good that you have announced the names of the cities in Scandinavian DLC. For people living there it's a good information for me it doesn't change anything because I've never been there and everything is exotic for me:) I've been thinking why your current projects takes so long. In Poland we have expression: if you don't know what is all about, it's about the money. I was surprised that ETS2 is still selling very well. On the websites like ebay or very popular in Poland allegro I can see that a lot of people are buying ETS2. So it means that you still get money for it. When you was launching ETS2 and Going East! DLC you didn't have it so much, am I right? So this projects was done quickly. Now you have plenty of time to launch it, because the money are no the problem. Scandinavian DLC maybe will be launching "soon" but I'm afraid that for ATS we will be waiting very, very long. ETS2 and ATS are competitive projects. So if ETS2 is still selling well you won't launch ATS. I know that you run your business, I understand it. But as a player I'm a little disappointed because of that. I hope voices of the players will change it.

    1. I recommend you to watch the videos (4 parts) that have recently been posted on this blog and will tell you all about the future of ETS2 and ATS.
      And in case you aren't willing to watch them, ETS2 and ATS aren't each others rivals at all.

  39. I'm a little bit disappointed to be honest. I always defended the long development proces as that would only mean more roads, but after such a long period and so many enthusiastic weblog posts, I expected more then just a 5th of Scandinavia.

    I appreciate your work, and the screens look really good, but in my opinion you are focusing on the little details to much instead of the complete picture. Less details and more roads would have give more gaming pleasure in the end.

  41. I am disappointed to see so few towns in denmark. Only one in the entire Jutland. The second biggest city is not even there.

  42. I'm sorry, but to work on this tiny expansion, map scale wise, for two years... I am a bit disappointed.

    I was really looking forward to driving up all the way to the North Cape. The most northern part of Norway. Sadly I can only drive in places close to the European mainland.

    While the quality is good I just feel it is too little. Going east added a lot more kilometers to the map.

    Oh well, here is to hoping that it will be further expanded towards the north soon. Although I'm sure resources will be put to completing ATS now.

I was somehow expecting this, when you look back at all the blogs about swedish cities comming to this dlc, but it is a little disapointing. It is also disapointing that the dlc only covers about 1/5 of Scandinavia.

It would be nice to visit Tromssa or Hammerfest at north and some Swedish cities too, maybe even Finland and St. Petersburg, as a starting point for Russian expansion?

  72. This community has never been shy to comment. Aside from the over emotional and rude comments [bravo folks, you know who you are and maybe you will learn manners some day like the rest of us], there is a sense of excitement mixed with disappointment in this latest update.

    I share this. Success brings expectations and meeting the expectations of such a large community is never going to easy or indeed without issues.

    There is a time-2-result concern here for sure. The time needed to deliver what appears to underwhelm expectations is an issue. Unless this DLC incorporates changes to the existing map which 1) enhance the over all map experience and 2) setup the map for faster future expansion, the disappointment remains for many I fear. If these points prove true, my disappointment reduces! I don't think this DLC will do all of that ... but we'll see.

    There is a clear call from the community for expanded maps to cover western, eastern, southern and northern Europe and now the rest of the commonly consider landmass of Scandinavia [irrespective of what Wikipedia states]

    For folks who don't use mods, SCS is providing expansion and at their chosen rate of delivery. It is what it is and it's all good really.

    For those of us who want larger area, TSM and ProMods have been leading the way and SCS in fairness is aware of the mod community and carefully supports it.

    So thank you SCS for the update, it looks fantastic. Please continue to work to improve the map and the quality and please maintain your careful support for the modding community.

They are a "vital" part of the world famous M25 that goes around London but they are nowhere to be seen. It's not as if they are new. I'm in my 40s & Dartford Tunnel is older than me. It would be nice to see those in the game, & many others that were missing from the start.

  96. As a citizen of Norway, I have so far relied on ProMods to be able to drive in my home country. And when I see that map, I still will.

    That is an insult to all your fans in Scandinavia. You have left out over 50% of each country. And Finland entirely. The arctic circle is not included, North Cape, and I a guessing that the northern light (aurora borealis) is left out also.



    This product is nothing to be proud of at all. It is yet another half-baked attempt.
