ETS2
SCS Software released the Iceland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 on 10 November 2026, with the expansion going live at roughly 18:10 CET. The map takes players to the “Land of Fire and Ice”, covering 14 cities and settlements including Reykjavík and Akureyri.
The new region follows the Ring Road, linking coastal towns with volcanic fields and remote stretches of countryside. Along the way drivers pass natural landmarks such as Jökulsárlón, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Geysir and Thingvellir. SCS also built custom industries for the map, including farms, quarries and a silica factory near Húsavík.
A few details aim to capture what driving in Iceland actually feels like. Single-lane bridges force trucks to give way to oncoming traffic, and daylight hours in-game match Iceland’s real-world timing. The Northern Lights also appear over the landscape during night drives.
Livestream and Release Party
SCS marked the launch with a release livestream starting at 3:00 PM CET on 10 November, featuring members of the development team driving across the new map. The stream ended with a live feed from the studio’s own release party to celebrate the DLC going public.
Cruising Iceland Event
Alongside the DLC, World of Trucks launched the “Cruising Iceland” event on the same day. Players who complete deliveries to or from all 14 Icelandic cities earn an achievement and a Fire and Ice truck paint job. A community goal of 175,000,000 km driven to or from Iceland unlocks a Tröll hanging figurine for everyone who already hit their personal goal. Jobs completed through External Contracts or the External Market to or from Patreksfjörður reward a separate Atlantic Puffin cabin item. Full rules are listed on the event’s dedicated blog page.
What It Means for Modders
Anyone running a heavily modded ETS2 setup should treat this like any other major DLC release: back up your save and mod folder before updating, since map, UI and sound mods can break or conflict with new game files. Give map overhaul and traffic density mods a few days to catch up, and check load order if the game refuses to start after the update. Paint job and truck mods are usually safe, but anything touching map data or save compatibility is worth testing in a separate profile first.
