Excalibur Publishing announces the Scandinavia expansion is coming Friday to Euro Truck Simulator 2, the cargo transportation simulation. They are offering preorders of the digital and boxed editions of the game through this page, saying there is still time to get the retail version in the mail by Friday, and reminding potential customers they need the original game in order to play. Here's word on what the pack includes:

Featuring Sweden, Norway and Denmark, you'll have access to mile upon mile across these three beautiful Nordic countries. Fifteen new ports and ferry locations also allow you to board ferries directly and to discover 25 Scandinavian cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmo, Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Copenhagen, Aalborg and Esbjerg.

Reflecting how ferries are an integral part of Scandinavian transportation, the developer, SCS Software, has painstakingly simulated the ships and Nordic ferry locations you'd see in real life today. Many of the ports in this pack are the same size as entire cities depicted in mainland Europe elsewhere within the game.

The sea transportation network also allows the player to use alternate connections between locations in Scandinavia and other territories of the map with direct routes to the United Kingdom and Poland.

Features:

• New trailer models including semi-trailers for transporting livestock
• Introducing the Mercedes Benz Actro 2014 cab
• New industries to service with 80 new cargo types which include foodstuffs, machinery, construction plus deliveries to Volvo and Scania dealerships across Europe
• Updates to the core Euro Truck Simulator 2 game
• Brand new rims and tyres upgrades
• Brand new Viking Legends paint jobs included
