Euro Truck Simulator 2: Italia

Euro Truck Simulator 2: Italia is a map expansion DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. It was the fourth mapmajor map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (being released on December 5, 2017), and it costs $17.99, £13.49, €17,99.

Summary

As its title suggests, Italia (mainly) features Italy, which was only partially rendered in the original ETS 2 game map. This DLC is a map expansion which covers the rest of Italy, including 22 cities (19 at release).

“	Experience the typical features of Italy from behind the wheel. Explore roads leading through the Apennines, where tunnels and bridges alternate with scenic vistas and curvy segments, opening the view to distant horizons. Descend from the height of mountain passes to the shores of the seas, travel from manicured farmland to wilder and more arid places. The geography and shape of Italy have led to a comparatively high concentration of cities in the Italia map expansion. Local industries contain, among others, famous places like Carrara marble quarries and Europe‘s largest Steelworks in Taranto.	”
