On September 5, 2026, SCS Software published the episode “SCS On The Road: Isle of Ireland Research Trip”. It follows a trip to Ireland to collect photographs and information for the development of the upcoming Isle of Ireland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The official announcement published on Steam documents this field work, but does not announce when the expansion will be released.
official Euro Truck Simulator 2 website presents the development framework surrounding Euro Truck Simulator 2. The episode focuses on a stage that comes before the map is built: observing roads, photographing locations and gathering references that can later be used by the development teams.
The trip gathers references before map production
The group includes members of the Map and QA teams, along with a Road Specialist. During the trip, they collect images and information about the roads and locations they encounter. The cameras also follow the different stages of the mission with Alex, presented as one of SCS Software’s community managers.
For players waiting for an Ireland-focused expansion, the publication reveals how SCS prepares a new map before showing its finished routes. The material gathered in the field may inform the DLC’s development, but it does not yet confirm which cities, roads or companies will appear in the final game.
No playable content has been announced
The term “Research Trip” defines the scope of the episode. SCS Software is showing research work rather than a completed map, and the video does not present a playable update, beta or demo.
The publication therefore adds no new content to Euro Truck Simulator 2 itself. It documents work taking place in Ireland without fixing which elements will remain in the commercial version of the expansion.
Price and release date are still unknown
Players interested in Isle of Ireland can add the DLC to their Steam wishlist through SCS Software’s announcement. The episode does not specify its price, the platforms concerned or its availability date.
Isle of Ireland has reached an active preparation phase, but the information needed to plan its release is still missing. Future announcements will need to clarify the map’s exact content, price and launch schedule.
