Just 2 days till the Nordic Horizons DLC release

SCS is teasing new updates as never before, so in below video I collected not only footages and trailer but also 2 gameplay sessions.

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;)

Nordic Horizons DLC is around the corner, after ETS2 1.57 release
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.
ATS 1.57 Open beta
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.

Map Combo Study 11.04.2025
After the latest map combo releases we have some new maps released and can be added to the setup but some maps are still tricky and I have not enough time to test combinations so probably it will take time and I guess those will be final map combinations for 1.56. No one like broken roads and CTDs so I keep latest combos below as a milestone for today.
As always I strongly recommend to start with beginner’s guide and do not ask same questions again and again in the comments and TG channel.
Before you start please always check if the guide you see latest and actual (check dates and videos availability). Please also follow rules and requirements – correct load order, DLCs compatibility and avoid extra mods that did not mentioned in the guide. In some cases you need to create new profile for stable work of maps especially if your old profile have pieces of deleted mods, garages, trucks etc.
Every single mod (not only map) can break the game and you will have a problems.
ETS2 Big Map Combo for ETS2 1.56 – Tutorial – October, 27 2025
ATS Big Map Combo for ATS 1.56 with 18 Maps – October, 13 – 2025
Guide mentioned above and could be helpful:
You can find on youtube and forums some combos with 100+ maps but here I’m standing for quality not quantity. Why you need millions maps you never visit if they work not stable together and take more time to setup than you will play the game?

ETS2 1.57 news
For sure, the most awaited content we are waiting with the release of Euro Truck Simulator 1.57 is Nordic Horizon DLC which most probably will be released with new game version. But SCS announced some other perks of the update.
Dynamic Cargo Loading & Unloading
The dynamic loading and unloading feature is coming to ETS2 with the upcoming 1.57 update. First introduced this feature for American Truck Simulator, and now it will be brought in Europe as well. It will debut at selected custom and prefab depots in the upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC, and will also be added to all suitable prefab depots across the base map and map DLCs, plus one custom depot in Greece – so everyone can experience it!
Reworked Players Company Logos and Paintjobs
A part of SCS’s vehicles team has been reworking the selectable company logos that you can choose when first creating your driver profile, along with the matching company paint jobs available for your truck and trailer.
The idea basically came from shared vision of reworking the UI and various elements that have been updating over the last few patches. It will created more modern company logos, which will be available in both ATS and ETS2, as well as matching company paintjobs for trucks and trailers, which are coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 in this update.
Nordic Horizons DLC will come soon, after ETS2 1.57 release
We still have no release date of new DLC for ETS2 – Nordic Horizons, but we have good signals that the expansion will be released soon in 2025. Early trailer and gameplay preview from SCS usually means that the DLC is in final pre-release stage and since we never have open betas for chargeable content we get Nordic Horizon instantly. First time beta gameplay of new DLC was available for visitors of Poznań Game Arena in Poznań, in Poland.
It is most likely will be released after the release of 1.57 version of the game.
It will be probably challenge for map mod community – they have to adapt to new DLC or even merge with their content if the new area with collide with existing mod structure (e.g Promods). The mods locked on the game version can also loose compatibility but it usually resolvable faster than maps rebuilds or merges.
We are waiting for new big DLC of expanded new roads in Nordic Countries – Sweden, Norway and Finland and also waiting for Scandinavia rebuild which will be good update for this DLC.
In video below I collected first gameplay timelaps, trailer, available teaser footages provided by SCS on their media channels.
