Evolution of ETS2 – DLC Trailers & Releases (2012-2027)
This timeline showcases almost every official DLC trailer (+ free map expansions and reworks) from the 2012 base game launch through the upcoming Iceland DLC (2026-2027).
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 DLCs
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.
Hidden Roads Study – February, 18 2025
Since the last update we have numerous new secret roads in ATS 1 .58 I was thinking about updating the guide for America – I found already 10 new hidden roads and still in progress. But I believe soon we will see also new Illinois DLC so can expect new secrets on that new state. Unfortunately youtube rank and promote older videos first and below guides have a very bad discoverability and low views. So I don’t want to spent a lot of time for guide with 700 views.
Below you find all hidden roads in ATS and ETS2 found in version 1.57.
You can see the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It is probably won’t help you with exact secrets locations but you can check if you missed any.
I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically since 2022 when this feature been released on ETS2 and ATS 1.44. But maybe right now it is time to freeze the series and let others do this job.
ETS2 (updated 01.24.2026, actual on 1.57 with Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 110 roads so far)
ATS (updated 12.26.2025, actual on 1.57 with Louisiana DLC, 245 roads so far)
[Guide] How to open 100% map in ATS with all DLC incl. Louisiana
This guide is little outdated if you switched to 1.58, where there are extra roads added but it is still actual and can be used to start with kind of 96%. And for 1.57 with Pelican State (Louisiana) here is whole 100% profile and source file.
Obviously you need all map DLC and as always I would like to remind you to back up before doing anything with your profiles.

[Guide] ETS2 1.57 and 1.58 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (with Nordic Horizons)
After the release of ETS2 1.58 my guide is still actual so you will get 100% explored road in 1.58 as well as in ETS2 1.57. In below video I’m sharing the procedure how to do it on your side as well as tools and files. Text file with discovered items and fresh profile with opened map. Please note that these files are actual for current state of the game in February 2026 on ETS2 1.58 and can be partially will work on later versions but always check if the new update available for this topic.

Map Combo Study 02.06.2025 (Final for 1.57)
Open Beta 1.58 for both games is available now and I will not update map combo setups for 1.57 unless minor fixes of links will come. With official news about game version 1.58 starting to surface, it’s safe to assume that an open beta is just around the corner. 1.58 is major update so we have to give the modding community some time to adapt to the new features and technical changes and release new vesions of their maps.
Until that happens, we still have large and stable map combos available for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Big for US and Giga for Europe.
There are already well-established rules and best practices that help avoid conflicts and common mistakes I’ve covered in Beginner’s Guide, which I strongly recommend watching before building or updating your map combo. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.

ATS Big Map Combo for ATS 1.57 with 21 Maps – January, 19 – 2025

Final Giga Map Combo for ETS2 1.57 – Tutorial – February, 2 – 2026
If you’re not planning to switch to version 1.58 until its public release you have a chance to enjoy gigantic map combo like this one. It is most probably the final edition of map setup for ETS2 1.57 and I have combined 81 maps to make amazing long hauls like one I started in January. Have to remind you that this setup is not for everyone – you probably will not have enough time behind the wheel to discover all small corners of the map and soon on ETS2 1.58 we have to start from the beginning and most of mods will be updated. And if you just jumped in trucking simulators world don’t ignore Beginner’s Guide which can answer a lot of important questions.
Today’s combo includes Promods, Roextended, Rusmap, EAA, Eurafrica, Poland Rebuilding, Maghreb, Silesia, Beyond, Grand Utopia, Bartoland and other maps. 81 maps, 175 files, RCs, fixes. As always please follow the instructions in video and note that combo designed to version 1.57 and requires all map DLCs (including Nordic Horizons). Paid mods are optional. Extra mods are not recommended unless they are compatible with other mods and tested.

Cruising Louisiana event is close to reach its goal
With the new DLC for American Truck Simulator we get World of Trucks event and this time it’s #CruisingLouisiana – typical but still attractive since we can discover new state and get another trophy on ours Wotr page.
Currently 122,979,167 / 125,000,000 miles so it is very close to the community goal.
Rules and rewards are pretty equal as for other “Cruising” events so if if you played it once just apply to the new names or read details in SCS Blog.

Please note that these files are actual for current state of the game in February 2026 on ETS2 1.57 and can be partially will work on later versions but always check if the new update available for this topic.
Obviously you need all map DLC and as always I would like to remind you to back up before doing anything with your profiles.

Hidden Roads Study (Final in 1.57) – January, 27 2025
Looks like all hidden roads in ATS and ETS2 found at least for now on game version 1.57, so this digest will be probably appear later this year when I have something to tease and discover.
You can see the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6 and guides for both games below.
On the last digest I mentioned that Hidden Roads Study series will likely be put on hold or possibly discontinued and count of views of latest videos convince me to freeze it. Nevertheless below you can find the most comprehensive hidden roads guide for ATS and ETS2 for this moment. I’m not gonna transform to shorts, clickbait and fake speculations just for views or extra couple bucks.
I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically since 2022 when this feature been released on ETS2 and ATS 1.44. Actual spreadsheet list of cities with hidden roads for Europe and America is updating periodically here https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It is probably won’t help you with exact secrets locations but you can check if you missed any.
ETS2 (updated 01.24.2026, actual on 1.57 with Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 110 roads so far)
ATS (updated 12.26.2025, actual on 1.57 with Louisiana DLC, 245 roads so far)
Unfortunately, YouTube search results often prioritize older videos, so even though I’m updating descriptions, outdated guides still rank higher in search results. Please always check if a more recent and updated guide is available.
Map Combo Study 01.26.2025
With official news about game version 1.58 starting to surface, it’s safe to assume that an open beta is just around the corner. As always, a new major update means it’s time to rethink our map setups and give the modding community some time to adapt to the new features and technical changes.
Until that happens, we still have large and stable map combos available for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Most upcoming updates to these combos will likely focus on polishing, compatibility fixes, and minor improvements, with the possibility of a few new maps being added.
At this stage, it’s not yet clear how version 1.58 will affect maps and mod management overall. However, for the current game version, there are already well-established rules and best practices that help avoid conflicts and common mistakes. I’ve covered these in detail in my Beginner’s Guide, which I strongly recommend watching before building or updating your map combo. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.
