Germany Update

As you know, the 1.31 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 was recently released, which was warmly received by players, but time goes on and today the staff at SCS Software have begun to talk about the changes players can expect in the ETS 2 1.32 update.

One of the biggest requests from players, expressed in the comments, is the desire to see the old base map territories of the game in an updated form. The developers listened to these requests and some of the studio’s staff are already hard at work updating the base areas of the Euro Truck Simulator 2 map. The developers plan to update the old territories at least to the level of the latest expansions (Italy, France). Updating the old regions requires special care and attention, as there are many different dependencies, so the developers decided to start with the main region of the base map – Germany.

It will not be possible to overhaul the Germany map in a single update, as it is a fairly large territory comparable in scale to any of the individual expansions. Therefore, to avoid delaying the release of updates and expansions already in progress for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 (Baltics and Oregon), the developers decided to update the base map gradually. With each new game update, updated territories will be added. This way, they plan to update the entire old map and then move on to one of the first expansions released for the game that extended the playable area.

As you can see in the comparative screenshots provided (screenshots are shown in pairs – before and after), the developers have significantly reworked the autobahns, and they also plan to seriously overhaul some of the cities, while other settlements will be updated visually only – new textures, new vegetation will be added, and current shortcomings will be removed. What will be presented in the ETS 2 1.32 update will be just the first stage of large-scale changes that will progress from the northern regions of the map to the south. All changes will be available to all ETS 2 game owners completely free in future game updates.
