Exploring Trikala in Euro Truck Simulator 2’s Greece DLC: A Glimpse into History and Industry
The upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 promises to bring players a detailed recreation of one of Greece’s most historic cities—Trikala(Τρίκαλα). Built on the ancient town of Trikki, which dates back to around 3,000 BC, Trikala is a city rich in history and culture. Known for its narrow streets and historic neighborhoods, this city has been an integral part of Greek civilization for thousands of years.
While truckers won’t be able to navigate through the city center due to its maze of ancient streets, the northern and eastern outskirts of Trikala have been faithfully recreated, offering plenty of opportunities for delivery contracts. SCS Software’s team has focused on capturing the essence of the city’s surrounding areas, where drivers will find a variety of industries to deliver to and from.
A Closer Look at the Eastern Outskirts
In the eastern outskirts of Trikala, truckers will discover an industrial zone that’s bustling with activity. This area is home to several key facilities, including logistics depots, warehouses, and even a supermarket, all designed to mirror their real-world counterparts. Drivers passing through this part of the city will also enjoy stunning views of the nearby mountain range, adding a touch of scenic beauty to their journey.
Agriculture and More in the Northern Area
To the north of Trikala lies the agricultural sector, where truckers will find grain silos and other farming-related industries. Agriculture has long been a key part of Trikala’s economy, and SCS Software has taken great care to reflect this in the Greece DLC. In addition to the familiar industries, there’s also a brand-new industry making its debut in Trikala, though the details on this remain a mystery for now—SCS is saving that reveal for a future blog post!
Why Trikala is a Must-Visit in the Greece DLC
Though truckers won’t venture into Trikala’s historic heart, the recreated outskirts provide ample opportunities for work and exploration. From the industrial zones to the agricultural fields, this city offers a diverse range of industries to engage with, making it a key location for anyone hauling goods across Greece. Plus, the attention to detail in recreating the city’s surroundings ensures that players will feel immersed in the rich history and culture that Trikala embodies.
As SCS Software continues to reveal more about the Greece DLC, we at Simuway are eagerly awaiting the chance to explore Trikala and other Greek cities when the expansion is released, hopefully before the end of 2024!
