UK Rework: Edinburgh
Get the Irn Bru chilled, grab yourself a Tunnock’s, and get ready for a wee trip north of the border! Today, we’re buzzing to give you your first proper look at Edinburgh as part of our ongoing UK Rework project for Euro Truck Simulator 2. So, nae messing about, let’s get stuck in and see what’s changed in Scotland’s historic capital.
Edinburgh is a city packed with history, character and some of Scotland’s most recognisable architecture. From its historic Old Town to its famous castle, the Scottish capital has a distinctive look which our team has been working hard to capture in-game.
Of course, no recreation of Edinburgh would be complete without Princes Street! Around this famous shopping street, players will be able to spot several of the city's most famous landmarks, including the Scott Monument, the iconic clock tower of The Balmoral Hotel, and Edinburgh Castle overlooking the city from Castle Rock.
Another landmark players may spot on their travels is Arthur's Seat, one of Edinburgh's most famous natural sights. Rising above the city, it can be seen from many areas around the capital and beyond.
However, our team wanted Edinburgh to feel like much more than just a collection of famous landmarks. As you travel through the city, you'll encounter a mixture of busy commercial streets & residential neighbourhoods.
You'll also find plenty of history around the city too, including churches and statues of notable figures placed throughout the city. One such statue can be found at Picardy Place, where Sherlock Holmes keeps a watchful eye over the surrounding streets! We felt this was a rather elementary detail worth including in our recreation.
Head to the waterfront and you'll reach Leith, one of Edinburgh's main industrial areas in our rework. The Port of Leith forms an important part of this district, with its docks, yards and surrounding infrastructure.
Looking for work? Players will find a selection of delivery opportunities around Edinburgh! Head to Leith for jobs at the port or a local construction site, or venture towards the outskirts of the city, where you'll find more locations to deliver to and from.
Drivers will also be able to find their own little rest spot by the seaside, as our team managed to place the Edinburgh garage right beside the coast! You may even spot some friendly furry friends hanging around, as the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home is located nearby.
We're also working to recreate some of Edinburgh's familiar public transport, including its trams and double-decker buses, which will help bring even more life to the city streets. Alongside this, Edinburgh Bus Station is being created with our upcoming Coaches DLC in mind, allowing players to pick up and drop off passengers as part of their journeys to and from the Scottish capital.
We hope you've enjoyed this wee look around Edinburgh and everything our team has been working on for the UK Rework! There’s still plenty more to come, so keep your eyes peeled and be sure to follow us on our social media channels for the latest news, screenshots and updates. Until next time, keep on truckin'!
