West Balkan for ETS2 will be release don Octobre 19th. This will close the last remainign gap in the Europe map, probably also allowing then to finally ferry over the Adriatic. Ireland is missing in the West, but it is a "rim state", does not leave a bif empty void in the middle of the map whcih then will reach from t he southern tipos of Norway, Sweden and Finland to the Meditarranean and form Portugal and the UK to the Russian border, and up in the north near Murmanks into Russia. So... they made it!

This is the road map with all stations and POI so far without the West balkan, imagine it to be there and you are fine.

I still occassionalyl driove this, it is so relaxing, and has sometimes suprising lots of atmosphere and beauty pleasing the eye.

Older regions get constantly updated to more recent visual standards. They started over one decade ago! Shall nobody say they are not committed. The title is still very popular and has a huge fanbase.

When I want to escape from the world, I fire up ETS2 or ATS in VR, dial in Frank Sinatra on the truck's stereo, and take a long haul contract across Europe or America. I have all the DLC for both, so a long haul run can be really long.

Same here, long hauls from one edge of Europe to the opposite rim of it. I bought ATS in a sale some years ago and had a look at it, its looking fine but Europe already is so immense and vast and big that I find it impossible to extensively play both and enjoy the map and its changes, so I moved away from ATS. Dido, Rumer, Smooth London and XO-FM being my preferred music choices, sometimes Vangelis.

I don't play it often, but again and again, regularly.

This announcement came unexpectedly. Did not forsee they would go for that region again.

Some games not just refuse to die - they thrive over time.

I'm glad that they are taking a second look at the Nordic countries updating and upgrading them to the games new standards just like they did with Germany and France. I hope they do the same to the UK, Austria, Belgium, and Poland.

While they do, dont forget that the Nordic DLC probably is around two years away or so. And before that comes Greece.
