Today, we'd like to give you a glimpse of our work on the Soul of Anatolia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 by showcasing some of the new assets we've been creating to make this map expansion unique!
Because the DLC is still very much a work in progress, it's not quite the right time to start previewing specific locations, as our map designers are still bringing them to life. Instead, we'd like to share a selection of the 3D models that our assets team has been hard at work creating, displayed in a placeholder setting for now.
Keep in mind that the assets we're showcasing today are just a glimpse of what's still to come. The assets team continues making new models throughout the entire development process, so what you're seeing here represents only a fraction of what will eventually make its way into the final product.
Based on our research team and close collaboration between our map and assets teams, these models are created to reflect the architecture and character of the region. In this map expansion, you will encounter plenty of different cities, each with its own unique architecture, so we need to capture a wide spectrum of buildings, from the big and small, modern and older city buildings to rural houses you would see when visiting the western part of Türkiye in real life.
Over time, they are being integrated into the map by the team working on this DLC, helping shape its towns, cities, and other locations across the map expansion. In total, we plan to create around 300 new generic assets, similar to the ones you see here, as well as our usual landmark assets, which are created for more significant buildings to make them instantly recognizable. You can look forward to seeing these in future blog posts.
If you are excited to be cruising in this map expansion, don't forget to support us by adding the Soul of Anatolia DLC to your Steam wishlist.
