ETS2 – Scandinavia map expansion and V1.17 Update coming

SCS Software is getting ready to release the Scandinavia map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2. They have now released a teaser trailer video to get the fans warmed up for the new release.

The Scandinavia expansion pack will feature Sweden, Norway and Denmark, including the new ferry terminals that will allow you to board ferries directly to discover 27 Scandinavian cities hauling over 80 new cargo types.

Furthermore, the development team is also working on a new update. The V1.17 update will also be released early next week. SCS is also working on a re-launch of the Euro Truck Simulator 2 website with all new presentation graphics.  After the release of the Scandinavia map expansion, an open beta test of update 1.18 will be scheduled. This update might also introduce the anticipated new Mercedes-Benz Actros truck into the game.
