100% discovered study 12.02.2025
It is so many map related news in our favorite truck simulator games, so on my side all previous guides and files are currently outdated. While in America until the release of new Louisiana DLC we have more or less 100% discovered, in Europe I have about 89% with Nordic horizons and Scandinavia refresh. And I don’t know how big is Louisiana DLC.
Since 2017 I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks. Some map updates take a lot of time but some is pretty small and can be discovered in couple days. Nordic Horizons, refreshed Scandinavia and Louisiana will probably finished in 2026. And as soon as my progress will be finished I will share it on Youtube and here the blog.
If you’re still on 1.56 and own new DLCs below you can find guides for both games. They will work on newer versions but undiscovered areas will remain grey.

First Map Combo for ETS2 1.57 – Tutorial – November, 30 2025
Map combo for ETS2 1.57 is currently irredeemable. You can combine classic pack of Promods, Roex and Rusmap but without Nordic Horizons (DLC will be overlap by Promods). If we exclude Promods we get current Rusmap which is not integrated with Horizons and will have broken roads. Horizonless combo make sense but it is shame to avoid such a beautiful expansion. So I provide an option but you should pick which one is preferable for you.
This update for ETS 1.57 includes Promods, Roextended, Rusmap and some other smaller but compatible maps. 12 maps, 31 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 (Nordic Horizons is optional and will not be available in this particular setup). Paid mods are optional.

New map DLC would be quite big in terms of territory and count of new cities – 41 (list below). Steam achievements are already available and if you played Promods actively one of it (Polar Explorer) is getting awarded right now.
Whole map in work in progress status but probably it will be in DLC:

Just 2 days till the Nordic Horizons DLC release
Just 2 days till the Nordic Horizons DLC release
We will get new DLC Nordic Horizons for ETS2 on November 27th. 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.
Hidden Roads Study – November, 24 2025
As you know I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically. Latest available guides with hidden roads is still actual but we have updates in ETS2 1.57 on refreshed Scandinavia, where I found at least 4 roads already, and will be more on Nordic Horizon DLC soon. In ATS, I assume, we will see also brand new secret paths with Louisiana DLC which will be released on December, 4. So for now I will not update guides until all these hidden roads will be discovered. I hope it will happen in 2025 but not sure because currently I have not enough time in the games.
Actual list of cities with hidden roads for Europe and America will be updated 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 04.25.2025, actual on 1.57 without Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 80 roads so far)
ATS (updated 08.23.2025, actual on 1.57 without Louisiana, 235 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.
Nordic Horizons Release Date 11.27.2015
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.
New Hidden Roads in ETS2 1.57
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.
And don’t forget to check the spreadsheet I will update https://trucksim.top/y9t6
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.
