Tomorrow is the last day for a chance to receive a Steam key for our special holiday Christmas Paint Jobs DLC pack for free!

You may ask yourself "How can I receive this special pack?" - it's all very simple!
All you need to do is to earn at least one achievement on your World of Trucks profile before end of the day on December 3rd (CET).


If you already have one or more achievements, you're all set. During the past two days, almost fifteen thousand people felt it was worth their time to grab an achievement... So if you don't have any yet, it's time to hurry to now!

This Christmas special paint job pack is just the beginning of cool things to come: we have prepared even more holiday themed content for Euro Truck Simulator 2, so stay tuned for more information soon!

Please note that only achievements on your World of Trucks profile count, as Steam Community achievements do not qualify in this event. The codes for Christmas Paint Job DLC will not be immediately available at the midnight deadline, you will be notified of the free key in your World of Trucks profile on Thursday morning.

Elite Dangerous Gamma 1.04 & Voice Attack

Well here we are again, another installment of the Elite Dangerous game, I am hooked on this right now ( aswell as spending countless hours testing ETS2 for SCS of course ), here is a short video showing a small run to deliver cargo ( after I completed a mission )



In this video I also use some voice, as Elite Dangerous can use a program called voice attack for some of the ships actions ( eg engage the hyper jump, retract/lower the landing gear etc ), also I have the HCS voice pack, which includes of 900 voice responses, below are links to voice attack and the HCS voice pack ( this is amazing value and adds a lot more depth to the gameplay )

Volvo Trucks plant near Göteborg

We have a couple of new screenshots from Scandinavia DLC, continuing where our last blog post left off: new special places based on real industry locations. This time around we would like to share a preview of Swedish Volvo Trucks factory in Tuve, Gothenburg.

When designing the area we relied on photos kindly provided to us by Volvo Trucks to ensure accuracy and good presentation.

Drivers in Scandinavia DLC will have the unique opportunity of becoming a vital chain of truck industry logistics by delivering new vehicles directly from manufacturing plants to showrooms and dealerships where they are sold!

Unloading cargo - Scania Factory in DLC Scandinavia

As the release of DLC Scandinavia is getting closer, we decided to give you another sneak peek at a new location included in the update. Today we would like to show off one of the new delivery areas: Scania truck plant in Södertälje, just south of Stockholm. This location and its surroundings have been carefully re-created in cooperation with Scania, allowing us to give you a feeling as if you were coming to the factory yourself.


Check out the picture below for comparison with actual factory entrance.

We also had one of the community's favorite video creators – Squirrel; known by many as creator and host of Sunday Night Trucking show – visiting us in our office today. As you can see, a formal hat and t-shirt exchange had to be made! Paul is a really cool guy, he recorded quite a lot of footage in our office and got a lot of honest answers to his questions. We are looking forward to seeing a video report from his trip to Prague!

That special time of the year!

Christmas is coming, it will be here before we know it. Our little in-house paintjob production shop is almost ready with a new seasonal truck livery DLC.

We really appreciate that our players are still ready to support ongoing development of the game by purchasing extra optional content from time to time. But for this special opportunity, we felt that we should give our fans a chance to obtain the new paintjob set for free. As a gift. Well almost, you still have to do a bit to earn it, but it should not be that hard. ;)

Here is the deal: Any registered user on World of Trucks is eligible, so long as you have been awarded at least one World of Trucks achievement - any achievement - by next Wednesday, December 3, 2014. There are already thousands of people on World of Trucks as of now who are already sure to obtain their free key, and we hope that by next week, more players will log in back to the site to work on their first achievement (just check your Profile screen on the site). Any achievement on the World of Trucks website counts - but beware, the game also supports a separate set of Steam achievements which are unrelated and do not count for this event! Anybody who will satisfy the condition above will receive his or her unique key to unlock the Christmas Paint Jobs Pack DLC on Steam on Thursday of next week.

But that's not all - this is only a start of something bigger. As a part of December update of ETS2 to version 1.15, we are now preparing a special Christmas event that should bring seasonal cargo for a bit of extra fun, and a chance for yet another exclusive freebie to earn. Stay tuned!
