- SCS Software рассказала о системе переключения режимов для Coaches и Road Trip в ETS2 и ATS - 27 September 2026
SCS Software опубликовала дневник разработки, посвящённый системе переключения режимов для грядущего дополнения Coaches в Euro Truck Simulator 2 и Road Trip в American Truck Simulator. Эта функция связывает разные типы геймплея, позволяя переключаться между карьерой дальнобойщика и поездками за рулём автомобиля или автобуса. Игры серии выходят за пределы грузоперевозок, поэтому разработчики разделили их на три режима: грузовика, автомобиля и автобуса. У каждого свои геймплей, прогрессия и карьерные системы. Режим грузовика по-прежнему строится вокруг доставки грузов и развития транспортного бизнеса. Режим автомобиля, появляющийся вместе с Road Trip, делает упор на исследование мира и репутацию среди клиентов. Режим автобуса сосредоточится на работе по маршрутам, комфорте пассажиров и их удовлетворённости. Прогрессия между карьерами раздельная: режим автомобиля использует репутацию вмест…
- Coaches & Road Trip: Mode Switch - 25 September 2026
Ready to hit the road? Today, we're taking a closer look at one of the new systems created for our upcoming Coaches DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Road Trip for American Truck Simulator; Mode Switch. This feature helps bring different types of gameplay together, allowing you to move between your trucking career and new adventures behind the wheel of a car or coach!ETS2 & ATS are expanding beyond trucking, and with that comes the need to clearly separate the different careers and gameplay experiences available to players. This is why we have divided the game into different modes, Truck Mode, Car Mode and Coach Mode.Each mode has its own gameplay, progression, and career systems. Truck Mode remains centred around transporting cargo and building your trucking business, while Car Mode, introduced with Road Trip, places a greater emphasis on exploration and building your reputation with…
- Больше сотни развязок: SCS Software показала, как создаётся Soul of Anatolia для Euro Truck Simulator 2 - 23 September 2026
SCS Software выпустила новый дневник разработки дополнения Soul of Anatolia для Euro Truck Simulator 2, посвящённый дорогам и развязкам. О процессе рассказал карт-дизайнер Павел, работающий в студии более семи лет. По его словам, в рамках DLC он проектирует крупные шоссейные развязки и готовит задания для других отделов по префабам, туннелям и светофорам. Только больших развязок на карте будет больше сотни, и главная сложность — уместить их в границах карты, не нарушая требований студии. Развязки Павел собирает на отдельной тестовой карте. Сначала появляется черновой прототип с нужным числом полос и типом пересечения, затем подгоняются радиусы поворотов, длины дорог, высота просвета под мостами и максимальные уклоны. Цель — приблизить развязку к реальному аналогу, сделать её компактной и удобной для проезда. Готовый прототип переносят в основной проект. С префабами иначе: сначала Павел…

It was a friend who showed me the world of trucks. He had just gotten his heavy license, and one morning he gave me a ride to school in the oldest Scania I had ever seen. But from that moment, a spark was lit. Maybe I could drive a truck too? It felt so cool and free! So I applied…

- UK Rework: Historic Bristol - 9 September 2026
Today, we're heading to Bristol, a historic city in the south-west of England known for its harbour, maritime & industrial heritage and iconic landmarks. We’re excited to bring Bristol to life as a brand new city in our UK Rework project for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Our talented map and asset teams have been working hard to recreate its distinctive character, landmarks and industries for players to discover. So, what can you expect to find? Let us show you!

The city grew around the River Avon and became one of Britain's most important ports, playing a major role in maritime trade and engineering.

- Coaches: Vehicle Ownership & Job Schedule - 21 August 2026
Ready to swap cargo for passengers? Then we've got some exciting news for you! Today, we're sharing more details about the upcoming Coaches DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, including coach ownership and how you'll plan and take on passenger transport jobs. All aboard!

From there, players will be able to manage, inspect, customise, and sell their vehicles whenever they wish.
