It is only couple weeks we have to wait for brand new ETS2 DLC. That also means that final release of 1.57 will be even earlier. Prepare your money, prepare profile without mods, get ready for new event (Cruising Nordic Horizons:))
And how can I keep silence – the biggest surprise on the picture above is the truck. FH16 780. It’s not announced yet but pictures on the internet doesn’t lie;)
We still have no release date of new DLC Nordic Horizons for ETS2, but most likely it will be available in Steam after the release of 1.57 version of the game. This new big DLC will expand new roads in Nordic Countries – Sweden, Norway and Finland. SCS is teasing new updates as never before, so in below video I collected not only footages and trailer but also 2 gameplay sessions.
Even before the Nordic Horizon released and Scandinavia is just in ETS2 1.57 open beta I found the first hidden road in Denmark near Esbjerg. It comes with secret viewpoint Oddesund Bridge (Oddesundbroen). And I believe it is only beginning.
The guide for secret roads for ETS2 is way long did not get any updates since the Greece DLC and was refreshed in April of 2025. I believe with Scandinavia refresh and Nordic Horizons DLC we will find new hidden easter eggs.
Final Mega map combo update for ETS 1.56. The setup includes Promods, Roextended, Poland Rebuilding, EAA, Grand Utopia, Great Steppe, Sibir, Rusmap and some else. 36 maps, 86 files, RCs, fixes.

If you don’t have experience with map combos please first watch Beginner’s Guide
Map Combos for SCS trucking games are not an easy for newcomers. So you can find lot of ready setups for actual version, including here on Trucksim, but before start better to avoid obvious mistakes. In this guide I’m explaining how to build map combo for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) or American Truck Simulator (ATS), from how to download and combine maps, to tricks how to avoid crashes. I will cover the basics for beginners. Guide made in 2024 but is still actual in November 2025 on game versions 1.56 and latest DLCs

Following the ETS2 it has been started open beta test for American Truck Simulator 1.57. Comparing to European counterpart this change is not so impressive but is important for game evolution. Also we hope to see Louisiana DLC right after the final 1.57 release. Also the Road Trip Mode have to be debuted in 2026 and SCS make step on it with Gas Station tune-ups.
