Euro Truck Simulator 2: Isle of Ireland

The upcoming Isle of Ireland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is being developed by SCS Software, the same studio behind the base game. Although a release date has not yet been officially confirmed, the DLC is currently listed in “pre-release” status on storefronts, suggesting it is still in development. The parent game, Euro Truck Simulator 2, is published by SCS Software and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with the new DLC expected to support the same platforms.

This DLC represents a major map expansion, bringing players to the whole island of Ireland — including both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The new terrain promises to be rich and varied, with rolling green hills, rugged coastal roads, and quaint countryside lanes. Major cities like Dublin and Belfast will feature alongside smaller towns and scenic rural routes, allowing for a wide range of driving experiences from tight country roads to more urban freight runs.

SCS Software promoted the expansion via their official blog, unveiling the Isle of Ireland DLC as a long‑awaited addition. The announcement described the vision of “emerald isle” landscapes, narrow stone-walled roads, coastal stretches battered by Atlantic winds, and cultural geography shaped by both history and nature. The reveal generated excitement within the community, in part because of the combination of familiar Irish landmarks, rural charm, and simulation‑style road layouts.

Reception among the Euro Truck Simulator 2 community has been largely positive. Many fans are thrilled at the prospect of driving through such iconic Irish landscapes and seeing cities that had not previously been featured in the game. On the other hand, some cautious voices point out that, until release, it's hard to know how much content the map will really include, especially in terms of how densely detailed the rural areas will be. Nevertheless, the announcement is being widely seen as a meaningful and ambitious expansion to the game’s European map.
