Evolution of ETS2 – DLC Trailers & Releases (2012-2026)
This timeline showcases almost every official DLC trailer (+ free map expansions and reworks) from the 2012 base game launch through the upcoming Iceland DLC.
Watch how SCS Software expanded the virtual European trucking world from the original 18 countries to the complete continent, featuring:
Base Game (2012) – The foundation with 18 countries
Going East (2013) – Eastern European expansion
Major DLCs: Scandinavia, Vive La France, Italia, Beyond the Baltic Sea, Road to the Black Sea, Iberia, West Balkans, Greece, Nordic Horizons
Future expansions: Iceland DLC
It does not include future Isle of Ireland, Soul of Anatolia and UK Rework.
Each trailer is presented chronologically with game version info and covered regions. Perfect for ETS2 veterans wanting to relive the journey or newcomers discovering the game’s incredible growth over 13 years!
All footages taken from @SCSSoftware, the music has been replaced since most of the trailers have copyrighted tunes. Resolution of initial trailers was 720p and later 1080p so I framed them.
Map Combo Study 10.19.2026
A quick status update on where the Map Combo Study stands.
ETS2 1.61: the mega combo is taking longer than planned
I’m building a big mega map combo for ETS2 1.61, and it has taken more time than I expected. A lot of new maps were released and many existing ones got updates, so the setup kept moving under my feet. Trucksim is a hobby project and my time is limited, so I’m deliberately not publishing interim versions. I’d rather put the effort into one major, properly tested setup than hand out a string of half-finished ones.
The goal is to finish the new ETS2 combo this weekend. I can’t promise it, but that’s the target.
ATS: the big combo is done
The good news is on the American side. The larger ATS map combo is finished, and it should stay current for the entire 1.61 cycle. It includes most of the free maps that are available and can be combined right now.
I had planned to add paid mods as well, but that needs its own additional setup, and again time is the limit. For now the ATS combo covers free maps only.
What else is on the list
Alongside the combos, there are a few things I want to finish:
- Events that still need to be wrapped up
- More varied videos built around my own routes (see the North Dakota Routes)
- 100% discovery guides
- Hidden roads guides
Don’t forget about Beginner’s Guide which help new comers to dive to combos world. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.

Hidden Roads Study – October, 13 2026
A quick recap what is going on with hidden (or secret) roads in ATS and ETS2. First of all – Proximity Exploration feature released in 1.61 can help you to find most of the secret roads without any guides. You can turn on or off the feature but anyway it is the biggest change in the game on this topic since 2022, when hidden roads came as markable objects in version 1.44. For sure some roads are real secret and even with this feature you need to go around all roads to find the location of unmarked path. So for some time I will continue to update my guides.
Big guides need to be updated – for ETS2 I have to check what is wrong with roads number – double check how many roads we have and what I missed. For ATS with 1.61 we got new DLC South Dakota where 10 new roads found (video below) but additionally I also have to check again count of roads and correct it accordingly. It will take some time on my side. So below you can find current existent guides more or less actual on 1.61 but not fully accurate. Guides for Europe with 114 roads and 281 in America are available on my channel excluding South Dakota. But below you can see 10 new roads footages in this new expansion. And the next big update will be I guess closer to the end of the year with Iceland and British Columbia DLCs.
If I find any new roads or you suggest one I will not update it instantly since I skip mid-tier guide videos because of low views on YouTube. The same issue affects 100% discovery guides and map combo content. I know there’s interest from my audience, but without YouTube helping push this type of content, it quickly gets buried.
You can always check the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It probably won’t reveal the exact secret road locations, but it can help you figure out if you missed any areas.
ETS2 (updated 06.01.2026, actual on 1.61 with all map DLCs, 114 roads so far)
ATS (updated 06.28.2026, actual on 1.61 but without South Dakota DLC, 281 roads so far)
Collection of 10 found roads in South Dakota with locations footages.
100% discovered study 10.11.2026
We have guides for 100% in both games but for Europe it is actual for 1.60 and there are no dramatic changes in 1.61 and bear in mind that if you combine ETS2 vanilla map with Promods as I did in below video, you will get 100% on that profile. In ATS 1.61 I added South Dakota DLC and other small pieces appeared with Road Trip.
Below you can find 100% for ATS and ETS2. As well as 100% on ProMods 2.84.
I’m not sharing my RoExtended profile with 100% since nobody asks.
I believe my guides will be less useful since starting of 1.61 we got Proximity Exploration feature and you can get your 100% with your truck or car (or later bus) without profile modifications and all this stuff. To be honest I’m so tired of this infinite race for 100% and I will do it as long as enjoy it on my side.
ATS 1.61 – 100% Explored map with all DLC including South Dakota (October 2026)
ETS2 1.60 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (July 2026, all map DLCs)
Promods 2.84 on ETS2 1.61 – 100% Explored Promods map (October 2026, including Vanilla, all DLC)
I do these discovery since 2017 and I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks.
