ETS2: Introducing The Isle of Ireland DLC

A long‑awaited journey across the Emerald Isle — coming soon to ETS2.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is expanding westward with the newly announced Isle of Ireland DLC, a full map expansion covering both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This long‑requested addition brings rugged coastlines, historic cities, and narrow rural roads to the ETS2 world, offering one of the most atmospheric driving experiences SCS Software has ever created.

For Imperium Hosting players and convoy organisers, this DLC opens up a fresh region packed with scenic routes, iconic landmarks, and new opportunities for community events.

A Full Island to Explore

According to the official announcement, the DLC includes both jurisdictions of the island — meaning players can travel seamlessly from Dublin to Belfast, Cork to Derry, and beyond.

Confirmed highlights include:

• Major cities: Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway, Sligo

• Smaller towns & villages: Killarney, Cashel, Bushmills, and more (work‑in‑progress)

• Rural backroads lined with stone walls and hedgerows

• Coastal routes battered by Atlantic winds

• Modern motorways connecting key hubs

The island’s diverse terrain — from rolling green pastures to dramatic cliffs — is a central focus of the expansion.

Iconic Landmarks Recreated

SCS Software has confirmed several of Ireland’s most recognisable landmarks will appear in the DLC, including:

• The Rock of Cashel

• Ben Bulben overlooking Sligo

• Samson & Goliath cranes in Belfast

• The Giant’s Causeway basalt columns

These landmarks help bring authenticity to the region and offer perfect meet‑up spots for convoy screenshots.

A Mix of Urban and Rural Driving

The Isle of Ireland DLC is designed to capture the island’s unique driving character:

• Narrow, winding country lanes

• Untamed coastal stretches

• Busy city centres blending modern life with centuries of history

• Ferry ports like Rosslare, connecting Ireland to the wider ETS2 map via the Irish Sea

This variety makes the DLC ideal for both casual haulers and organised VTC convoys.

Why This Matters for Imperium Hosting Players

For communities running ETS2 convoys or multiplayer sessions, the Isle of Ireland brings:

• New scenic routes perfect for weekend events

• Challenging rural roads that test convoy coordination

• Fresh logistics chains across both Irish jurisdictions

• Landmark‑rich environments ideal for community screenshots and roleplay

• Expanded ferry connections for cross‑region convoy planning

It’s a region built for exploration — and for memorable group drives.

Development Status

SCS Software emphasises that the DLC is work‑in‑progress, with more previews to come. Players are encouraged to wishlist the expansion on Steam to follow development updates.

Final Thoughts

The Isle of Ireland DLC brings one of Europe’s most iconic landscapes into Euro Truck Simulator 2. With its mix of rugged coastline, historic cities, and atmospheric rural routes, it promises to be a standout expansion — and a fantastic new playground for Imperium Hosting’s ETS2 communities.

When the roads of Ireland open, your next convoy adventure will be waiting.
