SCS Software has released the Coaches expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam today. With the long-requested expansion, players can now build a career on Europe’s roads as a professional coach driver, carrying passengers instead of cargo.
According to SCS Software’s announcement on Steam reported by Oyun Günlüğü, the studio said bringing coaches to Euro Truck Simulator 2 had been a long-standing ambition for the team. The expansion arrived on November 12, the release date confirmed alongside a trailer on November 1.
Three licensed coaches
The Coaches expansion features three officially licensed vehicles, each recreated in detail with its own characteristics and customisation options: the Scania Touring, the Volvo 9700 DD and the Man Lion’s Coach. SCS Software thanked Scania, Volvo Buses and Man for their cooperation in bringing the vehicles to the game.
From quick jobs to sightseeing tours
Players can start with Quick Jobs to earn money towards buying and customising their own coach. Once they own a vehicle, they can take on Contract Jobs, running scheduled passenger services with timetables and multiple stops. For a more relaxed experience, Tourist Jobs take passengers on sightseeing trips to famous landmarks and attractions across Europe.
Passenger comfort matters
Driving style plays a bigger role than ever in the expansion. Smooth journeys, careful cornering and avoiding harsh braking help passengers arrive comfortably and on time, and they will let the driver know if the ride gets too rough. The map has also received new and updated bus stations, tourist stops at landmarks and other improvements to accommodate coach travel.
Future content will come to the same expansion
SCS Software plans to add more licensed coaches, customisation options and new features to Coaches in the future. Rather than releasing these as separate expansions, the studio intends to keep updating and expanding the existing Coaches package over time.
