“Breathtaking” Iceland expansion released for Euro Truck Simulator 2

Euro Truck Simulator 2’s latest environment expansion is now available: Iceland.

The Northern European nation is known for its diverse topography, from vibrant coastlines to volcanic landscapes.

So, while it’s not the packed city streets of mainland Europe, or the long roads seen in American Truck Simulator, the varied scenery should be ideal for ETS2 hauliers.

Of course, cities are included. The capital, Reykjavík, is there, making up part of 14 “cities and settlements” on the map. Traversing the main Ring Road, which takes in the aforementioned scenes, is possible. So too is viewing the Northern Lights and a distinct lack of darkness, thanks to accurate real-world timing.

Single-lane bridges are also a theme, requiring you to either rush through in the nick of time or wait your turn.

First announced in June 2025, the Iceland DLC is now available, 10th November 2026, for £9.99 / $11.99 / €11.99

It follows a general game update, version 1.62, which added special edition liveries and new garages earlier this week. It arrives ahead of Coaches, a new vehicle and mission type, which will be released on 12th November 2026.

Our ETS2 Iceland verdict

The Traxion team found the Land of Fire and Ice compulsive, having tested it on a recent YouTube livestream. You can rewatch that to get an early sense of the new DLC, but John and Oasley have also provided their verdicts:

“SCS Software continues to deliver quality DLC maps, with the latest Iceland DLC featuring endless coastal roads, littered with gorgeous scenery,” said Traxion Oasley Beattie

“Exploration really is the highlight here, as fjords, river crossings, mountains and the Northern Lights all star; expect a long journey ahead.”

“The roads themselves have a lot of character, and as you make headway, the scenery continually changes without you really noticing the transitions,” said Traxion’s John Munro.

“No two stretches feel the same, and there is a notable sense of isolation. It never truly gets dark, but regardless of the time of day, the scenery feels rugged, cold and somewhat breathtaking.”
