One of the trucks that you have been so anxiously anticipating is finally getting close to completion… Rest assured we are pushing hard to make sure you’ll get it as soon as possible.
Trucks happen to be the most notoriously difficult type of 3D model to build and implement for our games than any other of our assets. We are always thinking about ways to speed up their delivery to you, but there was not a single case where it would take us less than half a year to implement a new truck. How can we speed this up? We are now looking into more advanced 3D scanning technologies to acquire high-detail reference data. We are also discussing internally if we should not try shipping an initial release of a truck with limited amount of cabins, chassis and upgrade variations. Would it make sense for you?
Anyway that won’t be the case with The New DAF XF Euro 6 – it is coming with traditional palette of cabin, chassis selection, and other upgrade options.
Even if trucks are eating considerable amount of company human and financial resources, we still resist the temptation to ask for money for the upcoming Euro Truck Simulator 2 standard truck models and will continue bringing them to you free of charge in future updates of the game. We feel that it's fair to ask for support from time to time with additional optional elements for the game, but the core experience is improved for everybody.
Thanks for your patience. Currently the new DAF is about ready for final testing iterations, we are targeting its release for the second half of September.
