Euro Truck Simulator 2: Scandinavia DLC out on May 7

[Alex Franchini]

SCS Software has new details for its Scandinavia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

It looks like the long-awaited second expansion pack for the truck sim is just a month away.
This time SCS seems to have gone all-out on the art department, saying that the manpower involved in the creation of the new landscapes exceeds the one required for the base game.

I'd say a sharper focus on the landscapes is a good thing, especially since the vistas in the base ETS2 map were slightly samey, albeit still pleasant.Take a look at the teaser trailer and screenshots in the article and tell us if you think they've succeeded!

It does look pretty, but hopefully it won't put a strain on low-end PCs. On the contrary, SCS is still optimizing the game through new updates, and they "have improved framerate stability on low-end systems".
The public 1.17 beta should be out next week on Steam, to boot.

Because Finland isn't part of Scandinavia maybe?

I think Pro Mods developers have said they will make it compatible with the new addon.

Maybe not, but I ever wanted to drive in Finland... :/

That depends on the definition you are using. In the broadest sense even Faroer Islands and Iceland are included in Scandinavia.

Then ProMods is your friend.

'Nordic-Countries' is prefered I would say, if you want to include those territories.
Scandinavia are the three kingdoms of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. That's the official definition. But let's not open a can of worms here.
