ETS2 UK Rework Officially Starts

The UK rework has officially started, and it is one of the most important base-map projects in ETS2. The original UK is among the oldest parts of the game, so a full rebuild can change both how it looks and how it drives.

This is still early development, so treat screenshots and details as work in progress.

Why the UK Needs a Full Rework

The UK has several unusual challenges:

1. It uses left-hand traffic.
2. Its older map scale does not match newer regions cleanly.
3. Many roads, cities, and junctions come from early ETS2 design standards.
4. It needs to connect naturally to ferries, the Channel Tunnel, and future island content.
5. It may need to support future coach gameplay and tourism destinations.

A light polish would not solve those structural problems. A full rebuild gives SCS room to rethink the region properly.

What Has Been Mentioned

Early details point toward a broad project rather than a small visual pass:

Item	Why It Matters
Standardized scale	The UK should fit better with mainland Europe
Leeds	A confirmed new city target
Stonehenge	A major landmark and route-planning point
Scotland additions	More towns and locations beyond the old network
Channel Tunnel refresh	A key freight link between the UK and continental Europe
Coach planning	Tourism and passenger routes may shape some locations

Player Expectations

Do not expect this to arrive immediately. A rebuild of this size touches roads, cities, assets, signage, depots, left-hand traffic behavior, ferry logic, and route density.

For players, the payoff should be large: a UK that feels less like a dated side area and more like a modern ETS2 region worth revisiting.

Why It Matters Beyond Britain

The UK rework also matters because it can improve the western edge of the whole map. It pairs naturally with ferry gameplay, the Isle of Ireland expansion, and any future passenger transport systems.

If SCS gets this right, the UK stops being a nostalgic old corner and becomes a useful modern hub again.
