Our dearest community,

Over the years, World of Trucks[worldoftrucks.com] events have become a very special part of our shared journey. Whether it was exploring new maps and economies during our Cruising events[blog.scssoft.com], contributing to continental goals in Trade Connections[blog.scssoft.com], building new landmarks in Operation Genoa Bridge[blog.scssoft.com], or taking part in magical seasonal experiences like the Witches of Brackenreach[blog.scssoft.com] or Woven Wonders of Winterland[blog.scssoft.com], each event has offered something new, something fun, and brought the community together in its own unique way.

Today, we’d like to share with our #BestCommunityEver that we will be taking a temporary pause from running our World of Trucks events.

This pause is an important step for us. In order to move events forward, we need to invest time into improving the underlying systems and infrastructure that support them. This means reworking how events function behind the scenes and how they are experienced in-game.

As part of this, we want to bring much more of the event experience directly into the game itself. This includes being able to view and redeem rewards, earn and view achievements, and follow event progress and community milestones, all directly in-game.

We’ve got even more ideas we’re working towards, but we’re not quite ready to share them just yet. When the time is right, we’ll return to running your favourite events and share more about what’s ahead.

You can think of this as the first step in building a stronger foundation for future events, one that will allow us to create experiences that are more engaging, rewarding, and flexible, supporting a wider variety of formats, ideas, and durations.

In the meantime, we’ll continue bringing you new content, updates, and improvements across both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, and we look forward to sharing more with you as development progresses.

Thank you, as always, for your support, feedback, and passion. It truly means a lot to us.

We’ll see you on the road.

Halló og velkomin til Keflavík! In today’s blog, we’ll be taking a closer look at this beautiful and historic town, located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, which you’ll be able to explore and deliver to in our upcoming Iceland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2[www.blogger.com]. Ready to see more? Let's hit the road! 

For millions of travellers each year, Keflavík marks both the beginning and end of their journey in Iceland. The town is home to the Reykjavík–Keflavík Airport, the country’s main international hub, located just outside the town. We made sure to include this key location as an industry, as it also handles a large share of the island’s cargo. Drivers headed for the airport, will see the airport terminal in the distance before being directed to the cargo terminal, where you'll pick up or deliver jobs.

As you head towards Keflavík itself, you’ll enter a town shaped by both the coastal industry and modern travel. Historically, Keflavík grew as a fishing community in the 16th century, with strong ties to the sea that still influence the area today. Over time, its role expanded alongside the development of the airport, turning it into a key hub and destination on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

In-game, you’ll find a range of industries to deliver to and from, including a shipyard, a car dealer, and a supermarket, along with a fuel station and a service point. While these locations technically sit within the neighbouring town of Njarðvík in real life, the two form part of the wider municipality of Reykjanesbær, together with the village of Hafnir.

 

Whilst the road network here is not very complex, it plays an important role in connecting the Island. From the airport, you can either head into Keflavík itself or follow Route 41 straight towards Reykjavík, one of the main links across the peninsula.
Life here is mostly peaceful, the landscape of Iceland, and the Reykjanes Peninsula in particular, is constantly changing. As many of you may know, Iceland sits on an active geological boundary, with volcanic activity becoming more frequent in recent years. Efforts to keep eruptions and lava flows away from towns and infrastructure remain ongoing, but the surrounding terrain continues to be shaped by these powerful forces.

You can find a few landmarks around the area too, including art installations which include various sculptures! We are sure you will enjoy taking in the sights as you deliver around this historic town.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Keflavík! If you’re excited about trucking in Iceland, be sure to add this upcoming DLC to your Steam Wishlist. It will notify you when it releases and helps support our future work. Thank you to everyone who has already done so. We look forward to sharing more about Iceland in the future. Until next time, keep on truckin’!
