Hyvää päivää! As one of the northernmost countries in the world, Finland is best known for its breathtaking natural beauty, vast forests, & rich cultural heritage. In today’s blog, we’ll take a closer look at the city of Oulu, a destination you can explore and deliver to in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2.
As one of the oldest cities in northern Finland and the fifth-largest by population, Oulu offers a unique mix of architectural landmarks and economic significance, making it a key destination for truckers. Our team has recreated several large industrial zones around the city, including a food industry producer and a chemical factory. That isn't all however, as you'll be sure to discover so much more when you visit the city yourself!
Players will also have the opportunity to deliver to and from the Port of Oulu, where sea, land, and rail transport converge. As the largest general multipurpose port in the Bothnian Bay, it handles an average of 3 million tons of cargo per year, pretty impressive!
This city also offers a wonderful example of minimalist Nordic architecture, seamlessly integrated with its natural surroundings. As you travel through Oulu, you will come across various standout landmarks, including the central bridge spanning the Oulujoki River, the railway station, as well as other notable buildings and architectural structures. You will also come across some lovely views of the small surrounding islands and bays located in the west of the city.
You will also be able to travel on a variety of road networks, including major road junctions, wide city avenues, and cosy narrow streets, each built with its own character and charm. Our team has particularly focused on capturing Oulu's clean and simple Scandinavian style, blending it with the surrounding nature and landscape.
We hope you enjoyed this preview of Oulu, and we look forward to highlighting more cities featured in the Nordic Horizon DLC in the near future. If you like what you see, consider adding this upcoming expansion to your Steam Wishlist! It really helps support our releases. Until next time, keep on truckin'.
