Today, we are thrilled to showcase the creative minds driving the Scottish phase of our comprehensive UK Rework project. As we continue our mission to modernize one of the foundational regions in Euro Truck Simulator 2, Scotland is receiving a dedicated overhaul. Our goal is to ensure its majestic panoramas, storied urban centers, and winding highland routes are recreated with the artistry and precision they deserve.
Elevating Scotland to our modern graphical and design standards is a significant undertaking. Every kilometer reflects a deep commitment to quality, from the distinct character of its cities to the sweeping grandeur of the Highlands. Within the broader UK Rework, three specialized map teams are tackling different territories; today, we are shining a light on the individuals reimagining the North. Each team member has shared a brief message about their journey and a few hints about what is currently under development. We hope you enjoy meeting the architects of this refreshed terrain! P.S. We hope you’ve been practicing your Scottish Gaelic.
Vojta – Map Design Lead
“After my team wrapped up the Scandinavia Refresh, we were eager to transition to this stunning territory. We are currently navigating the challenge of replicating the rugged beauty of the Highlands while capturing the unique architectural DNA of local towns. Fortunately, I’m supported by a group of passionate and skilled designers dedicated to delivering the immersive experience our community anticipates. I truly hope players will resonate with our portrayal of this mystical country.”
Aartee – Senior Map Designer
“Having spent six years as a map designer, I now have the privilege of working on Scotland—arguably the most beautiful place on Earth. My expertise usually lies in complex urban infrastructure, but I’ve expanded my focus to include the vast Highland scenery. I am currently concentrating on Edinburgh, aiming to perfectly balance its historical legacy with its vibrant, atmospheric energy.”
Albert – Map Designer
“Moving from the gentle hills of Denmark and the urban complexity of Copenhagen, my next major milestone is the proud nation of Scotland. I am responsible for recreating the southern regions, ranging from the historic charm of Falkirk to the energetic pulse of Glasgow. This region is steeped in history and mystery, and I am doing my utmost to capture that essence. I can’t wait for you to experience this stunning country from the cab of your truck. Scotland Forever!”
Lukáš N. – Map Designer
“Dè tha suas, deagh dhaoine? Ciamar a tha thu a’ dèanamh? Tha mi a’ dèanamh gu math, taing airson iarraidh. To truly immerse myself in the project, I’ve spent my days listening to bagpipes and admiring the incredible Scottish vistas. You truly have a beautiful country! I am also developing a few secret urban areas; if I were to visit Aberdeen in the near future, which local eateries would you suggest I try?”
Lukáš B. – Junior Map Designer
“I first joined the SCS Software team during the Scandinavia Refresh. Now, equipped with that experience and guided once again by Vojta, I am thrilled to be rebuilding Scotland from the ground up. I am particularly excited about translating the sheer scale of the Scottish wilderness into our game world for everyone to explore.”
Sara – Junior Map Designer
“As soon as I saw the Highlands, I knew this project was the perfect stage to showcase my skills. Sculpting these iconic peaks is a challenge I’ve embraced wholeheartedly. Since joining SCS a year ago, my work has evolved tremendously, and I am pouring all that growth into making this map as magical as the real-world location. Also, expect to see some horses!”
Tomáš – Junior Map Designer
“It has been nearly eighteen months since I joined SCS, and the excitement hasn’t faded. After working on Scandinavia, contributing to the UK Rework—specifically Scotland—is a dream come true. I particularly enjoyed detailing Eilean Donan Castle, and much of my current work involves the breathtaking lochs and mountains of the Highlands. My goal is to capture the serenity of the countryside so that players always have a beautiful new discovery around the corner. One question for the fans: do you believe in the Loch Ness monster?”
We extend our gratitude to the team for sharing these insights despite their busy production schedules. We hope this glimpse into the development process has been enlightening. Stay tuned for further updates as the UK Rework progresses; we can’t wait to show you more!
