ProMods The Great Steppe: Into Turkmenistan

As some attentive members of our Discord community may have already noticed, our developer Fynn has been working on a brand-new region for ProMods: The Great Steppe. Today, we’re excited to officially announce that Turkmenistan will be explorable in the upcoming ProMods TGS 1.6.0 update.

Located in Central Asia along the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan borders Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to the north, Afghanistan to the southeast, and Iran to the south. The country is known for its unique contrasts; from vast desert landscapes to highly controlled urban environments; and most famously, its white-marble capital, Ashgabat.

Entering Turkmenistan

In the first release, players will enter Turkmenistan via the Temir-Baba border crossing, travelling over the narrow headland of Garabogazköl. This route leads directly into the city of Garabogaz, offering a striking introduction to the country; one that stands in sharp contrast to the grandeur often associated with its capital.

Garabogaz: A City of Contrasts

Garabogaz is defined by its soviet-era prefabricated apartment blocks, aging infrastructure, and industrial surroundings. Players will be able to drive through the city centre to access their garage or workshop, experiencing a more grounded and utilitarian side of Turkmenistan.

Coastlines and Atmosphere

Not everything in Garabogaz is industrial. If you take a moment to explore, you’ll also find yourself alongside the Caspian Sea coastline, where the scenery and atmosphere shift dramatically. Whether it’s the weather, the open views, or the isolation, this part of the map offers a very different driving experience.

Garabogaz: A City of Contrasts

To support gameplay and immersion, Turkmenistan comes with a set of custom companies, allowing drivers to deliver and transport goods that reflect the region’s economy. These industries help bring life to the country and give purpose to its road network within The Great Steppe.

This is just the beginning of Turkmenistan’s journey in ProMods: The Great Steppe. More locations, refinements, and expansions are already planned for future updates; but for now, we’re excited to let you take your first steps into one of Central Asia’s most intriguing countries!

ProMods Europe: v2.80 Trailer

Our latest ProMods Europe trailer is now live! We’d like to give you an overview of what’s coming in the next update. This release brings a wide range of improvements across Europe; from major road reworks and returning cities, to integrations with newly released DLC and community-driven additions.

With this update, the Nordic Horizons DLC is now a required dependency for ProMods Europe.

Purchase this here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2780810/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2__Nordic_Horizons/

Update Overview

France sees some of the most substantial changes in this update. Major routes have been refreshed or rebuilt, including the A55 / N568 connection between Marseille and Montpellier, the final stage of the A36 rebuild, and Paris Part 2, which covers the A3 and Bercy area. The city of Tours also officially joins ProMods following its map mod merge, bringing additional depth to central France.

Elsewhere, road networks continue to expand and improve. In Lithuania, the A5 and KK141 extension adds new connectivity, while Poland’s S61 has received a major refresh led by Horizon and Dawid.
The UK gains further detail with new content around Bodmin and an extension of the A30.

In Serbia, the city of Subotica makes its return to ProMods, fully reskinned and reintroduced after its absence following the West Balkans DLC.
Across Scandinavia, large-scale refreshes from SCS bring older areas up to modern standards, which we now support, alongside full integration with the Nordic Horizons DLC.

ProMods v2.80: Out Now!

With this update, the Nordic Horizons DLC is now a required dependency for ProMods Europe. This allows us to properly integrate refreshed Scandinavian areas, avoid duplication, and ensure consistency between DLC and ProMods content moving forward..

This update represents another big step in modernising ProMods Europe; aligning older regions with newer standards, integrating official DLCs, and expanding the map in ways that feel natural and connected.

The trailer only scratches the surface there’s much more included in the update than what we’ve highlighted here, so why not download now: https://promods.net/

ProMods Maghreb: Tunisia Preview Trailer

With Christmas just around the corner, we’ve got a small festive gift for you 🎄
Today, we’re excited to share the very first trailer for ProMods Maghreb: offering an early look at what awaits you on the roads of Tunisia.

This is a preview trailer, focused on the atmosphere to expect. A full release trailer will follow closer to launch, but for now, we wanted to give you a genuine glimpse of the world we’ve been building.

A New Chapter

As previously announced, the Maghreb Map project was generously gifted to the ProMods team and has since become ProMods Maghreb; our first official step into North Africa.

The project brings Tunisia and Morocco into Euro Truck Simulator 2, either as a standalone map or seamlessly connected with ProMods Europe via ferry routes. This opens up an entirely new region, culture, and driving experience unlike anything currently available in ETS2.

Spotlight on Tunisia

This first trailer focuses on Tunisia, showcasing several key locations that will be available at release:
Tunis: the capital city, blending modern urban roads with historical surrounding
Enfidha: a growing coastal and transport hub!
Utique: offering a quieter, more rural contrast along Tunisia’s northern coast

From Mediterranean coastal roads to sunlit cities and distinctive architecture, Tunisia offers a fresh driving experience that feels immediately different from Europe; yet naturally connected to it.

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. A gameplay trailer is still to come, followed by the full trailer (and maybe some bits inbetween!) once we’re ready to share launch information.

Stay tuned for further announcements as we move closer to release. The work on Maghreb has been progressing steadily behind the scenes, and we’re looking forward to giving you a chance to explore these regions very soon.

Happy holidays, and stay tuned for more Maghreb news very soon! 🎁🚛

ProMods Winter Convoy: Recap

On December 7th, we gathered once again for a special ProMods Community Convoy; this time taking players across our recently developed Vancouver Island in ProMods Canada. Starting in Kamloops, one of the oldest and most iconic cities in the project, we made our way south through the Lower Mainland, crossed via Victoria, and continued all the way to Port Hardy, one of the newest additions to the map.

For many players, especially those on TruckersMP, this convoy offered a rare chance to drive alongside several members of the ProMods Team; a great opportunity to enjoy the roads together, answer questions, and celebrate the release of new areas. Additionally, plenty of fun was had on Twitch & YouTube!

Straight from the Community!

The turnout was fantastic: we saw around 100 participants joining the drive, including drivers from multiple VTCs across the TruckersMP community including Prime Logistics, Pink Ribbon VTC, NOWT, and Global Cargo. From long-established companies to smaller groups bringing their members along for a relaxed evening drive, it was a diverse and lively gathering of players who share a passion for trucking and modding.


The roads were busy, lively, and full of holiday cheer; exactly the kind of community spirit we love to see during events like this!

A Magical Crossing Over the Strait of Georgia

Running a community convoy through a ferry terminal has the potential to turn into absolute chaos, even with careful planning. So instead of risking a multi-hour queue or a floating traffic jam, we decided to do something a little more creative:
A completely fictional, magical scenic road crossing the Strait of Georgia; built solely for this event.

This temporary route allowed the convoy to stay together and maintain smooth flow, while still offering a beautiful, atmospheric coastal drive inspired by the region. And judging by the reactions and events, it was a memorable highlight!

Convoy Control & Event Support

This event also marked the first major outing for our new Event Manager, Jess, who did an outstanding job coordinating the route, timing, and structure of the convoy.!
Additional congratulations are needed for Ghost, who helped as part of our Media Team for this event!

Huge thanks as well to our partners at TruckersMP, whose experienced Convoy Control team handled traffic management and ensured the event ran as smoothly as possible from start to finish!

A huge thank-you to everyone who participated, shared photos, streamed the event, or just hung out with us along the route. We’re looking forward to running more in the future, especially as ProMods continues to grow.
