Today we're excited to share with you our final topic on our upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2! Let us tell you more about some of the new unique Depots and Special Transport routes coming with this highly anticipated expansion.
Travel and tourism play a prominent role in supporting the Greek economy. In 2023, Greece welcomed over 32 million visitors. As you can imagine, this creates a phenomenal demand for accommodation, including larger hotel resorts, one of the new and unique depots you can deliver to in this DLC!
Hotel Resorts
You can deliver to 5 custom hotel depots on your travels across the Greece DLC. We spoke with Adrien, who was responsible for creating them, to learn more about their development process. "All of the hotels in this DLC are based on real-life locations, and each one of them is unique," Adrien tells us "I look forward to seeing the community find their real-life counterparts as they discover them in-game, however, one of our hotel references located in Rhodes had to be relocated to Lesbos due to size limitations"
"The biggest challenge with this project was that custom depots as a new technology was relatively new to ETS2, so we didn’t have the advanced procedures we use today; we learnt a lot along the way!"
"Researching hotels and choosing specific locations was particularly difficult, as some locations lacked the space needed for gameplay. To address this, I had to adjust the designs to ensure there was enough space for parking spots of varying difficulties while preserving the picturesque charm of Greek hotels."
"When designing the hotels, I focused on making the hard parking spots more challenging than in other depots. These spots are really meant for skilled players, and I can’t wait to see how players handle them!"
BIG in Greece
Special Transport operations are expanding! Drivers looking for speciality work in the Greece DLC will be pleased to know that oversized loads will be on offer in the Job Market.
Truckers who are ready to take on these mighty loads will find several new Special Transport routes. Whilst our dispatchers have carefully pre-planned these routes, you can expect to have some challenging manoeuvres on the road to your final destination. As always, trained escort teams and local police will assist in guiding you along the correct route, and where necessary, help block traffic to allow safe passage.
Think you got what it takes? Special Transport DLC owners will find contracts on offer between the following cities:
- Athens to Athens
- Thessaloniki to Trikala
- Ioannina to Vlore (West Balkans DLC required)
So whether you are delivering Special Transport loads or supporting the tourism economy, we truly hope you enjoy all that Greece has to offer in Euro Truck Simulator 2 on December 4th! If you'd like to be notified and reminded of its release, be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist! Until next time, keep on truckin'!
