With the Nordic Horizons DLC, ETS2 finally expands to the far north - and you can discover huge new areas that are more detailed than ever before.

Welcome to the far north - what awaits you

The Nordic Horizons DLC takes you deep into Scandinavia's untouched landscapes. The developers at SCS Software place particular emphasis on authenticity: coastal roads, forests, fjords, snow-covered regions and modern cities have been created with extreme attention to detail.

You can look forward to one of the largest map expansions in ETS2 to date - perfect for long-distance drivers who want to discover new regions.

New countries and cities in the DLC

In the Nordic Horizons DLC, you can expect several northern European countries that were previously not included in ETS2 or have been massively revised. These include:

  • Finland (expanded)

  • Norway (new & extremely detailed)

  • Sweden (revised + new cities)

  • Faroe and Åland Islands (depending on final version)

The number of new cities and smaller towns that SCS has integrated into the game is particularly striking. From modern harbors and rural settlements to tunnel passages and mountain routes, everything is included.

Realistic nature & challenging roads

The Nordic region offers some of the most challenging roads in Europe - and that's exactly what you'll feel in the new DLC:

  • Narrow Mountain Roads

  • Ferries and island hopping

  • Long bridges and tunnels

  • Coastal roads with spectacular views

  • Changeable weather and often challenging conditions

So you are not only visually thrilled, but also challenged as a driver.

New freights & companies

The expansion also brings new economic sectors to ETS2:

  • Wood and paper industry

  • Fishing & maritime transportation

  • Wind power industry

  • Agriculture & heavy machinery

These industries bring fresh orders and sometimes special transports that put your skills to the test.

Technical improvements

SCS is also giving the DLC modern engine features that make the game world look more alive:

  • Better vegetation

  • Newly designed weather effects

  • More realistic coastal landscapes

  • Improved lighting

The north clearly benefits from the new graphics quality.

Conclusion A must-have for every ETS2 fan

With the Nordic Horizons DLC, SCS Software sets new standards for map expansions. You can expect huge new areas, extraordinary landscapes, challenging roads and a variety of new transportation options. If you love ETS2 and are looking for new challenges, there is no way around this DLC.
