Türkiye Development

Why 2025? Next Year is Balkan, so Anatolia might release in 2024. But I understand your decision. It makes more sense to build areas, where DLCs are more unlikely.

I doubt that they would go for Greece and Anatolia right after Balkans. The only pattern that SCS follows in ETS2 DLCs is making the next DLC in unrelated direction to the previous one.

Italy = South
Beyond the Baltic Sea = Northeast
Road to the Black Sea = Southeast
Iberia = Southwest
Heart of Russia = Farther(?!) Northeast
West(ern) Balkans = Closer(?!) Southeast

Following this pattern, they would probably go for either north Scandinavia or Ireland and (perhaps) Iceland. Yet, for the latter one, they need to rebuild the UK from scratch first. Instead of them, they may even decide to release Heart of Russia after West Balkans if and only if, the currently ongoing war ends by then.

I don't think there will be Greece in this DLC. Greece And Turkey Will Both Release In One Dlc

[chrissav2002]

Greece will not included, SCS just revealed the next DLC : Westbalkan, which include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia.

I was a bit surprised about that.

Greece and all of Turkey, that would be a mega sized DLC.

I could see an Aegean Sea DLC, separate from a Turkey DLC.

I do not think that all of Turkey will be with Greece. Turkey will be max 40-50% - western part.
when comparing sizes...
Only 50% of Turkey - it's Full Road to the Black Sea DLC.

[Shiva]

Aleks999666, I'm not sure that Turkey would come with Greece.
Turkey, it might come as a whole, or divided, we'll have to see.

[Aleks999666]

Shiva maybe you're right, SCS plans to simply switch to releasing their DLС for ETS2 the same as their DLС for ATS. in a smaller size.
Separately release Greece DLC, Belarus DLC, Iceland DLC, Ireland DLC.

guskrilon: SCS' new DLC announcement raises the possibility of releasing an Aegean DLC in 2024 - 25. Most likely, amazing materials will be added to the game. I will definitely add small islands that SCS will not add

[chrissav2002]

As SCS don't like to work on adjacent DLC, the absence of Greece in this DLC could also mean that the next one is the Asian part of Turkey (available at the end of 2023 already ?), Greece been the buffer between West Balkan and Turkey.

Because with Northern Scandinavia, I think it's the only "bigger" area available (Ukraine and Belarus been out of order due to the war in Ukraine). And if we look at a "market perspective", I think Turkey would be more interesting for SCS than Northern Scandinavia.

Yeah I guess we'll be able to expect Crete and if we're lucky Rhodes, but that should be it from their side. Only don't put really small islands just for the sake of having them bcs they are beautiful islands. There should be at least some real life trucking going on.

Also I think in terms of assets and materials that would be highly needed, imo the center-European parts of the game whether SCS' ones or ProMods' ones feel much more realistic than e.g. the Middle-East Add-On parts. While not ugly per se lots of the cities' layouts especially right at the coast just directly border the beaches, there isn't really any periphery. I always think it looks quite weird. Generally would help if there were a dlc that offered such atmosphere.
