ETS2 - Iberia DLC best sold game/DLC on Steam!

Virtual truck drivers waited for many months to get their hands on a copy of the Iberia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Last week the DLC got released and got to be the number one sale on Steam!

Already since 2020 players are waiting for the Iberia DLC for ETS2 by SCS Software. It is because of the Corona epidemic that the release of the DLC got postponed from the end of 2020 to somewhere during the first quartal of 2021. Eventually, it was the 8th of April 2021 that the DLC got released. And with success! 

In no time the sales of the Iberia DLC put the DLC on the number one spot of Steam's sales list! Again, a job well done by the development studio SCS Software. They still don't get seen as an AAA development studio but if you ask it to their hundreds of thousands of fans, they'll confirm it is a triple-A developer for them. The Iberia DLC is, once again, a fine example of the capabilities of the studio.

And it seems that the company is far from done with their game. Even before the release of the Iberia DLC, they informed their fan base of what is yet to come. This time, they even want to go deeper into Russia with the future The Heart of Russia DLC. It was too soon to come with a release date or even a lot of details but probably they will get as far as the Ural, which is all still part of Europe. The latter is pure speculation but I won't be far off, I guess.

So, still many beautiful things to come for ETS2. SCS Software is definitely not giving up on their money goose. And why should they? If you ask me, they can keep expanding this game. Even if they would want to change big under-the-hood things like a graphical engine, for example, they wouldn't have to get rid of this version of the game and come with an ETS3. Look at what Wargaming did a couple of years ago with World of Tanks. They changed the graphical engine entirely and did it with the (then) current version of the game instead of coming with a brand new World of Tanks 2.0. But okay, this was just an example. SCS doesn't have to change the graphical engine because they have a wonderful result already with what they've got under the hood and with the new lighting system that came with update 1.40, the game looks even more realistic.

The release of the Iberia DLC came with a wonderful stream in which Alex and Nimero gave away some extra DLC keys and also with an event on their World of Trucks website. For that event, virtual truck drivers need to deliver cargos from or to 20 unique cities within Spain and/or Portugal. As a community, they also have to reach 250.000.000 kilometres. For both challenges there are some rewards the truckers are getting:

• Personal goal: Players that deliver cargo to or from 20 unique Iberian cities will gain a personal World of Trucks Achievement and an impressive, Iberian Lynx themed, ETS2 truck paint job Steam inventory item.
• Community goal: When the community goal of driving 250,000,000 km during deliveries to or from any Iberian city is met, and if the player has also achieved their personal goal, then they will receive a Plush Iberian Lynx toy and an Iberian Mask Bobblehead ornament as Steam inventory items.

At the moment we have 164.187.663 km on the counter.

Safe travels!
