If you have been waiting to take your rig into the Scottish Highlands, the latest update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is set to bring you exactly that. The development team has pulled back the curtain on Inverness, a brand-new city arriving as part of the ongoing UK Rework project.

Known as the "Gateway to the Highlands," the in-game version of Inverness serves as a critical hub for tourism and industry. Situated at the mouth of the River Ness, the city combines its historic roots with modern infrastructure, providing a fresh backdrop for your virtual haulage routes.

Iconic Sights and Highland Scenery

The development team has focused heavily on capturing the unique aesthetic of the region. As you navigate the city, you will encounter several recognizable landmarks:

  • Kessock Bridge: This suspension bridge spans the Beauly Firth, connecting the city to the Black Isle. It serves as a defining feature of the skyline when driving through the industrial district.
  • River Ness: The city center features views of the river, including one of its most recognizable riverside hotels.
  • Local Landmarks: Players can spot the Inverness Justice Centre and the Caledonian Stadium, which the developers have noted provides one of the more picturesque sporting backdrops in Scotland.

Beyond the city limits, the environment is dominated by rolling hills and waterways, intended to serve as a scenic entry point into the wider Scottish Highland region.

New Industrial Delivery Opportunities

While the scenery is a major draw, there is plenty of work to keep you busy. Inverness introduces two primary industries where drivers can manage cargo:

  • Oil Facility: A key location for players looking to contribute to Scotland’s regional economy.
  • Port of Inverness: This location features a warehouse setup, offering various freight opportunities tied to the area's maritime trade.

The addition of Inverness is part of a larger effort to refresh the United Kingdom map within the game. The team confirmed that this update will be available for free to all existing owners of Euro Truck Simulator 2. While an exact release date for the full UK Rework has not been specified, the team continues to solicit feedback on which parts of Scotland players would like to see featured next.

For now, it is time to prepare for the Highlands—just don't forget to pack a warm jacket and perhaps a bit of shortbread for the road.
