Karlstad in ETS 2 Scandinavia Refresh – Explore Central Sweden

Our work on the Scandinavia Refresh project for Euro Truck Simulator 2 continues. And today we’re excited to share another location that you can look forward to – the city of Karlstad!

Located in central Sweden, Karlstad plays an important role in connecting various regions of the country. As part of the Scandinavia Refresh project. Karlstad has been newly added to the game, with the city built entirely from scratch and its surrounding areas reworked to match the quality and standards of our newer map regions.

While we don’t want to give away too much. Karlstad is home to a variety of recognizable landmarks and interesting spots that add to its local charm. You may find yourself passing by a busy train station, cultural and sporting venues. Cozy accommodation options, and several public facilities that give the city its distinctive atmosphere. The nearby countryside also offers some beautiful driving routes for those who enjoy scenic deliveries off the main roads.

In addition to these sights, there are a number of depots and service locations across the area, from fuel stations and farms to logistics centers, and more. Truckers can also look forward to a local garage where they can expand their operations in this part of Sweden.

Our ETS2 Map Designer, Lukas, who worked on Karlstad, shared a few words about his experience:

“Karlstad was my first proper city, and I really hope I did it justice. I spent many late nights working on it, my girlfriend even started to get a little jealous, but I wanted to make sure the city feels alive, detailed, and full of little stories around every corner.”

Karlstad is a part of our ongoing mission to refresh the entire Scandinavia map and make it as realistic and enjoyable for truckers as possible. We can’t wait for you to explore this city yourself!

Stay tuned for more updates and previews from the Scandinavia Refresh project. Happy trucking!
