Road to the Black Sea: Trains & Tram

There's a theme from Road to the Black Sea we didn't touch on yet - and you can probably guess what it is from the pictures.

The regions seen here are a beautiful mix of the old & the new, and so are the different kinds of rail transport that pass through these areas. They really give every city a different kind of living atmosphere, don't you think?

We've picked the cities of Cluj, Galati, Iasi and Timișoara to show you the differences. Anyone here able to say which picture belongs to what city? :)

Bulgarian Paint Jobs

With Road to the Black Sea approaching fast, we're filling in one of the missing national paint jobs pack coming nicely along with this map expansion - Bulgaria!

For now, we have this batch of pictures featuring new paint jobs on Bulgarian soil, but fear not. An actual release date for our upcoming DLC is coming soon - and release itself won't be long after!

Road to the Black Sea: Plovdiv to Istanbul

It's time we take a closer look at our upcoming expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2, Road to the Black Sea. Featuring the countries of Romania, Bulgaria and the European part of Turkey, there will be plenty to see on your travels.

We are excited to give you a glimpse behind the wheel of a driver travelling between the cities of Plovdiv in Bulgaria and Istanbul in Turkey. Be sure to keep an eye out when approaching the border, you may find that stricter searches are in place when crossing. Please note that this DLC footage features work still in progress.

Road to The Black Sea: Brăila Ferry

Located in the east of Romania, you'll find the city of Brăila. Built along the banks of the River Danube, it was originally best known for its fishing industry. Today, it serves as an important hub for many surrounding towns and small villages.

One such small commune is located right across the River. However, you will find that there are no bridges or tunnels to travel across into the village Smârdan. So how does one exactly cross the river? By boat of course!

The BAC river ferry will be the first of its kind to feature in our upcoming map expansion, Road to the Black Sea. Drivers using this service will be able to take a small break from driving and enjoy a 2 minute cutscene, featuring views of your journey across the Danube river in either direction.

There is plenty more to explore in our upcoming DLC, so be sure to add Road to the Black Sea for Euro Truck Simulator 2 to your Steam Wishlist!

Road to the Black Sea: Servicing the cities

In Euro Truck Simulator 2, trucks seldom venture to the historical centers of major cities. Traffic restrictions usually make it impossible, limiting trucks to the industrial perimeters of cities.

Our focus is usually on the industries at the edge of a city. Today we can illustrate it here on a gallery of screenshots taken around Sofia and Bucharest, the capitals of Bulgaria and Romania respectively, as featured in the upcoming Road to the Black Sea map expansion.

We hope that you will enjoy delivering cargoes to and from these locations with a wide range of industries including major airports!

Road to the Black Sea: Landmarks

Before a time of GPS and travel maps, landmarks played an important role for travelers. These places of interest were used as a way of knowing where they are, and which way to go. Thanks to today's technology we no longer have to rely on this method of travel. However, these landmarks still stand as a unique monument of history's past and times present.

In our upcoming map expansion Road to the Black Sea for Euro Truck Simulator 2, you will discover many landmarks on your journey. From impressive historic castles to beautiful cathedrals and remarkable bridges, you never know what you might discover next on your journey through these new lands.

Make sure to add Road to the Black Sea for ETS2 to your Steam Wishlist to be the first to be notified of its release!

Road to the Black Sea: Turkish Cities

From cities filled with culture, industries, and history to tiny villages nestled in the mountains. The Trakya region of Turkey is the gateway to Istanbul, is Europe's largest city by population, and also the largest city among our sim-games. As you travel towards the city you will begin to see a mix of past and present infrastructure, such as historical landmarks found near rising modern apartment buildings.

With people comes the need for work and industry. With manufacturing being one of the country's biggest economies, you will be sure to find a range of interesting and unique deliveries to and from these cities.

We are excited to bring these new regions to the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2 for you to explore. Make sure to add 'Road to the Black Sea' to your Steam wishlist to be the first to know when it releases! But until then yolunuz açık olsun.
