Witches of Brackenreach Event

Double, bubble, engine rumble,
Through the marsh and forest, tumble.
Fog drifts low and lanterns flicker,
Magic stirs as night grows thicker. 

In the swamp where wisps do play,
Haul your load a ghostly way.
Past the roots of crooked trees,
Through the howl of autumn breeze.

Brackenhelm in moonlight glows,
Winding roads where mystery flows.
Cauldron brews and herbs ignite,
Witches sing in veiled delight.

“Driver bold, come cross our land,
With pumpkin magic treats in hand.
From dock to keep, from vale to shore,
Six runs you need—and maybe more!”

Autumn leaves and shadows dance,
Air is thick with spectral chance.
But fear not ghosts or forest groans—
The witches guard these ancient stones.

So light your lamps and clutch the wheel,
For Halloween tonight is real!
Through portal gates you now shall go,
To Brackenreach, where legends grow.

Upon return, attend the call,
To spread the spooky treats for all,
Not just to Brackenhelm as one,
But cities, towns and everyone.

For Hauloween is in the air,
And there’s no time to flee nor dare
To hide away from all the treats
That wait for you, but not to eat,
NO, they must be hauled, delivered quick,
Then parked away, now that’s the trick!

 

Get ready to roll this Halloween in our Witches of Brackenreach - World of Trucks event, a hauntingly delightful twist to your usual trucking journey, where mystery and challenge meet the open road. The adventure begins today for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator!

This year, we ask you to help us reach a combined community goal of 1,500,000 deliveries. That's a huge number, but we know that our #BestCommunityEver has no limits! Also, as you will see, there are a lot of exciting new things to look forward to!

Beyond the veil of our world lies Brackenreach, a mystical realm steeped in legend and guarded by three elemental witches. Now, through shimmering portals appearing across your homeland, you are invited to step into this spellbound valley to cross foggy swamps, brave eerie forests, and wind your way to the ancient Castle Brackenhelm. Help the witches and the villagers this Halloween by braving the haunted marshes to deliver vital Halloween supplies. The realm awaits your courage—and your arrival.

Your personal goal? Complete 15 Halloween deliveries across any trucking territory, including 3 to and 3 from Castle Brackenhelm, more detailed in the rules below. 

On top of all this, you’re also encouraged to help spread the spooky and fun Halloween spirit across the rest of the world by delivering festive supplies to and from cities within the homeland. There will even be some enchanted cargo making its way from Brackenreach back to the homeland—perhaps the witches’ and villagers’ way of saying thank you for your help!

Our #WitchesOfBrackenreach this year offers a spellbindingly impressive new desktop theme that will run during our Halloween event celebrations, we hope you enjoy the lively and spooky atmosphere it brings!

We will also be hosting a special developer live stream where we’ll discuss how the event was designed, share some fun insights, and enjoy Halloween in a nice and relaxed session while playing and contributing towards the community goal. Join us on Tuesday, the 21st of October, from 18:00 CET on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook, and journey to the Witches of Brackenreach with us!

Witches of Brackenreach Rules:

Using External Contracts with a World of Trucks-connected profile in Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator, or both, the community goal is to achieve 1,500,000 deliveries of Halloween treats and supplies to or from any city, including the mysterious land of Brackenreach, where your destination will be Castle Brackenhelm. 

There are 4 types of cargo that can be delivered in this event:

1. Halloween Treats
2. Halloween Costumes
3. Halloween Herbs & Spices
4. Halloween Crafts

Your personal goal is to complete 15 Halloween deliveries across any trucking territory, including 3 to and 3 from Castle Brackenhelm, using Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator or both games combined.

Your bonus goal is to discover the Witch House, hidden within the land of Brackenreach, by driving to it.

Rewards

• Personal: Players who complete the required 15 or more Halloween deliveries will gain a unique World of Trucks Achievement plus an enchanted Witch's Compass cabin item, as a Steam inventory item.

• Community: When the community goal of achieving 1,500,000 Halloween deliveries is met, and if the player has also achieved their personal goal, then they will receive a bewitched Black Cat hanging cabin item, as a Steam inventory item.

• Discovery: When the player discovers the Witch House, hidden within the land of Brackenreach, they will receive a Spooky Horn vehicle accessory as a Steam inventory item.

Brackenreach directions:

A portal to Brackenreach appears once you accept event cargo bound for Castle Brackenhelm.  Find it on the map, a spiral icon, and navigate to it. Look for the sparkles with falling autumn leaves!

Leaving Brackenreach with cargo takes you to its destination; without cargo, you’ll be sent to a random city for a new job.

Note: In order to qualify for any community reward, you must complete at least your personal goal in Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator or both. Each reward will be a Steam inventory item for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Once completed, claim your reward in the Events page on your World of Trucks profile.

The event will be concluded on Sunday, the 16th of November at 23:59 UTC.

This is our biggest Halloween event ever, and we are super excited to learn of your brave and exciting journeys to the legendary land of Brackenreach, and if you even dared to search for the three guardian witches. It has been such an incredible effort by all the teams to create this wonderful new place, and we’d be thrilled to see photos of you as you venture through all the challenges, reach your goals and enjoy the spoils, this season of Halloween. Share your screenshots and videos with us using the hashtag #WitchesOfBrackenreach on our Facebook ATS / ETS2, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram profiles, and we will share our favourite ones.

Happy Hauloween & Cruising Arkansas Events Conclusion

On Sunday night, we officially ended two running World of Trucks events. Now, it is time to take a look at how successful they were. Our #BestCommunityEver managed to complete both the #HappyHauloween and #CruisingArkansas events on time and thus earned their community rewards!

We always celebrate the release of a new DLC with a World of Trucks event, and Arkansas could not have been an exemption. The #CruisingArkansas event started on the 16th of September with a community goal of driving 125,000,000 miles (201,168,000 km) while delivering cargo to or from any city in Arkansas. We were happy to see that our #BestCommunityEver reached this impressive number on the 1st of November with more than two weeks to spare!

As you can see in this infographic, you have overcome the goal by more than 22 million miles and completed over 450 thousand deliveries!

Along with this event, we have also hosted the annual #HappyHauloween event which started on the 25th of October - this year's theme being ghosts. The community goal of collectively completing 1,300,000 deliveries of Halloween Treats (which is almost double from two years ago) was completed in just two weeks on the 7th of November so everyone who completed this event can now treat themselves to spooktacular rewards!

The numbers for the Hauloween event are even more impressive. The total job count was overcome by a stunning 469 thousand! And while doing that, you drove over 460 thousand miles. Impressive!

We hope you thoroughly enjoyed both events and are now ready to claim your exclusive rewards! For the #CruisingArkansas event, participants earned the White-tailed Watch ATS truck paint job as a personal reward, while the community unlocked the beautiful Diamond Apple Blossom hanging pendant.

Meanwhile, completing the #HappyHauloween event means you can now decorate your cabin with the spooky Booing Ghost as a personal reward, along with the fun Grumpy Ghost hanging toy as a community reward.

We also appreciate all the photos, videos, and other content you shared with us on social media. It really makes our teams happy to see how much you enjoy participating in these events.

If you couldn't fully complete these events, we hope you still enjoyed taking part! And don't worry, more will come in the future. Make sure not to miss any upcoming event by following us on X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube where we always share the latest news and updates. Until then, keep on trucking!
