Euro Truck Simulator 2 DLC Adding Russia Expansion

There are some franchises which can often throw people by how popular they inexplicably become. The Truck Simulator games, such as American Truck Simulator released in 2016, have become surprising successes over the years, and even though Euro Truck Simulator 2 is more than eight years old at this point, it's still enjoying moderate success as a recent announcement states it will be getting some new DLC soon.

This new DLC will allow players to simulate life on the road in Russia. According to the official Steam page, the Heart of Russia will do exactly what it says: allow Euro Truck Simulator 2 fans to travel to the heart of one of the biggest countries in the world. The announcement of this DLC comes just a couple of months after an expansion allowed people to transport the COVID-19 vaccine.

Unfortunately, at the point of this pandemic-themed add-on being released, the Truck Simulator developer, SCS Software, came under hot water when it was unclear where they stood on vaccinations. A statement issued around the time of Hauling Hope's release said the company maintained a neutral stance on the issue, which, unsurprisingly, caused a bit of confusion.

Whether there will be any controversy surrounding the Heart of Russia DLC remains to be seen, but the fact that there's already a Russia-themed expansion called Beyond the Baltic Sea, it's unlikely to cause any issues. Some fans may now regard Euro Truck Simulator 2 as one of the best simulation game out there, but it certainly has its fan base and adding more content shows there's still a lot of life in it.

Video games have been popular for decades, but the industry has truly exploded over the past few generations to become one of the most successful fields of entertainment. The advent of new gaming consoles and a wealth of new intellectual properties make sure that the industry remains fresh and challenging.

There are many different genres of video games that connect with audiences, but intricate simulation titles have become increasingly creative and popular. The simulation genre has become massive and this past year has introduced plenty of games that are likely to become future classics of the genre.

Star Wars has a long history with video games, but they've gained a new level of popularity thanks to the recent films that have been released. Star Wars: Squadrons is a space combat simulator that allows players to control both heroes from the New Republic as well as the opposing forces on the Galactic Empire.

Star Wars: Squadrons has a light story that's set after the events of Return of the Jedi, but it works best as a multiplayer title. It's a step in the right direction for future Star Wars simulation games of this nature.

There are many popular street racing games that pride themselves on their authenticity, but what makes MotoGP 20 particularly satisfying is that it involves a heavy simulation component that's then paid off with racing.

MotoGP 20 contains different modes like Historical Content and Managerial Career that make the player consider every aspect of the sport. There's a Chief Engineer, Personal Manager, and Data Analyst that must be managed to learn what's necessary about certain tracks in order to develop a motorbike that's properly suited for the occasion. Players even need to find their own engagements where they can race.
