In August 2023, SCS Software announced that they will be creating a new generation of their current game engine, Prism3D, in order to provide graphical and performance bonuses to PC players, while also preparing for the eventual release of console versions of the game. As the game progresses, it is possible for the player to buy more vehicles and depots, as well as hire other drivers to work for them. The game is non-linear with the basic premise of the game being that the player can drive one of a choice of articulated trucks across a condensed depiction of Europe, picking up cargo from various locations and delivering it. The game is a direct sequel to the 2008 game Euro Truck Simulator and it is the fourth video game in the Truck Simulator series. Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a truck simulator game developed and published by SCS Software for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS and was initially released as open development on 18 October 2012.
