Recently, we introduced a new experimental feature for ETS2 and ATS - custom city introductions. Thanks to the positive feedback that we have seen from the community, we are glad to let you know that we will further expand this feature in the upcoming 1.46 update!

These special cutscenes appear when a player selects a starting city when creating a new profile and, as you may know, they are currently available only for cities in Austria and the city of Hanover in Euro Truck Simulator 2. In the 1.46 update, however, we will add this feature to the Iberia DLC as well!

And not only that, this feature is also evolving across the ocean in the ATS world. Therefore, once the update lands in the game, in addition to Montana, new players will also have the opportunity to watch one of these awesome cutscenes when selecting their first city that has a garage in the Colorado and Wyoming map expansions.

Also, just a heads up, the screenshots used in this blog serve only as illustrative examples. If you’d like to see more, check out the posts about this topic on our social media - Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok. But you can always wait until the 1.46 update is released to try the new custom city intros on your own!

So, what do you think? Should we keep working on the custom city introductions? If so, let us know over social media by tagging our official channels, or leave us a feedback on our forum. We can’t wait to read your thoughts once again!

After every update release, wondering about what content is coming next is only logical, as there is always room for improvement in your experience of driving across our games by adding smaller and more complex features. Today, we are excited to start clearing up the fog a bit with the very first blog post dedicated to the 1.46 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

You may have noticed while driving across the Iberia DLC that there is a well-designed unreachable area near Madrid. We have decided to take the time and finish this settlement, which is inspired by the city of Arganda del Rey and it will feature the company prefab of Construcciones Elcano, a new heavy machinery service depot that made its first appearance in the Austria rework project.

While you were previously able to only drive around this zone on a nearby highway, with the addition of the settlement, we are also going to open up the closest highway exit so you can properly set out to explore this fresh piece of content.

We have much more information up our sleeves in regards to the 1.46 update for both ETS2 and ATS, so make sure to leave us a follow on our social media  (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) to stay in touch with all the latest news and updates!

From the scorching temperatures of the Tabernas Desert to the bustling city of Madrid, Iberia has been a popular destination for truckers since its release in April. Based on feedback from our community since its launch, our map team thought it'd be good to revisit the map expansion and bring some new additional content. 

Their main focus is to bring new country roads alongside the many highways of Iberia for you to use and explore. For those who prefer to take the more scenic routes while trucking, we know how much you'll appreciate it! 

So where will be these new roads located? The first new addition can be found north of Madrid, linking together the A-1 and A-2 highways. This new road (N-234) passes alongside the city, which also happens to be located by the River Douro, the mouth of which can be found in Portugal! 

The second new road can be found in the south of Portugal, starting near the city of Sines, passing by the city of Beja and ending in Spain, just above Seville! These new roads will not only provide truckers with alternative routes whilst out on delivery, but also more beautiful scenery and areas to explore in Iberia!

This content is being created by our new map designers as a part of their training program. However, we have been impressed by their work so much that we decided to use it and bring it to the Iberia expansion in the near future, most probably still this year. We always try our best to have some extra capacity to occasionally revisit/reskin some parts of the older in-game worlds, that's something you already know about us. Maybe you'll start seeing more of these extra additions across our released DLCs from time to time as well, who knows.

We hope you'll enjoy this new and free additional content that is coming to the Iberia expansion! 

Today, we want to share with you a few pictures from a new road segment that will be added to Euro Truck Simulator 2's Iberia DLC with the upcoming 1.41 update.

Autoestrada A24 runs north to south across the Douro river valley, connecting A7 and A25. It passes through a very scenic region of Portugal, famous for its many vineyards. Originally, this road was considered for release with Iberia DLC, but we did not manage to complete it in time. We decided to finish A24 anyway and bring it to you in an update, as we did not want to leave this beautiful part of Portugal behind!

We hope that you have as much fun pulling cargoes across Iberia as we had making it!

With the recent release of Iberia for Euro Truck Simulator 2, our social media channels have been filled to the brim with photos & videos from your first journeys through this enormous peninsula. We love looking through them during the workday and we even share them with each other across our internal channels. It really does bring a lot of positivity among our colleagues as we love seeing drivers getting creative with video content and sharing some really cool snaps! 

We'd love to share a selection of content created by you, our #BestCommunityEver! What you see here is really just the tip of the iceberg; you can watch a lot more or find your favorite creators here. You can also continue to send us your screenshots and videos from Iberia on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #CruisingIberia.

Our #BestCommunityEver have also been busy in our #CruisingIberia event! In just 8 days, you completely smashed the community goal of 250,000,000 km! WOW! Looks like we are going to have to check your logbooks to make sure you have been taking regular driving breaks, as even we weren't expecting you to reach this goal so quickly!  

So what does this mean for the event? This means everybody who has completed their personal goal will receive a Plush Iberian Lynx toy and an Iberian Mask Bobblehead ornament as Steam inventory items via the World of Trucks site. If you haven't already completed your personal goal, don't worry! You still have plenty of time participate and we urge you take things slow, as you continue #CruisingIberia. Find all the details on how you can take part at our dedicated blogpost.

We have also received a large amount of reviews on our Iberia Steam Page. To everyone who takes the time to write reviews and give constructive criticism about Iberia, thank you! If you have enjoyed your travels through Iberia thus far, it would support us a lot if you could leave us a Steam review.

The BIG day is here! Preparations to release Iberia for Euro Truck Simulator 2 are in top gear! So what time will Iberia be releasing?

Please join us as we celebrate our new Iberia DLC releasing tomorrow, April 8th, by participating in our latest World of Trucks event - Cruising Iberia! Experience this vast, beautiful and historic peninsula, while on the job. Originating from the Ancient Greek word Ἰβηρία (Ibēríā), used by Greek geographers, the Iberian Peninsula is over 580,000 km² in size, so it's our largest DLC yet, with 49 cities available to choose from, each offering a wide array of cargoes.

We are inviting you all, our #BestCommunityEver, to take up the challenging community goal of driving 250,000,000 km while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Iberia. While you are #CruisingIberia, we encourage you to visit the many beautiful coastal cities on the north, east, and southern coasts. Iberia's two largest industrial powerhouses are Portugal and Spain. Their combined exports include, but are not limited to, textiles and apparel, food and beverages, metals, chemicals, wood products, oil refining, fish canning, rubber and plastic products, electronics and telecommunications, rail transportation and aerospace equipment, ship construction, and of course tourism.

Drivers will also have the opportunity to transport and deliver a variety of equipment and produce within the important fresh fruit and vegetable industry sector across Spain and Portugal. Newly created prefabs represent a wide variety of different farms that can be found in Iberia including large commercial farms and vineyards.

Of the 49 cities, we really want you to see at least 20 of them. So, we're offering a special reward for completing your personal goal, which will require you to deliver cargo to or from your chosen 20 cities. All jobs for the event need to be 200 km or more, so please be sure to read the rules.

And, of course, you can use your own trailer during all of this in the external market!

Iberia also features viewpoints! For the very first time in Europe, you can enjoy handcrafted cinematic views, highlighting the many attractions that can be found. A sample of them are:

• Visit the ancient port of Santander, the capital of the autonomous and historical region of Cantabria.
• Drive over the impressive Guadiana International Bridge, the southernmost land crossing on the Portugal–Spain border.
• View the striking Solar Power Tower of Andalusia, the world's first commercial concentrating solar power tower that took four years to build.
• Cruise through the Port of Valencia to smell the fresh sea air in the busiest port in the Mediterranean and the fifth busiest in Europe.
• Experience the beautiful City of Barcelona, the capital and largest city of Catalonia, known for its art and architecture.

Let's go cruising Iberia while contributing to its impressively large industry! Get ready for the journey of a lifetime, because we've only scratched the surface of what this latest DLC brings to Euro Truck Simulator 2. As always, we can not wait to hear your thoughts about this vast, beautiful, colorful, varied, culturally rich, and historic peninsula.
