Building Nature & Mountains with Pavel
Another blog where we take you behind the scenes of our work is here! This time, we're excited to introduce you to our talented map designer Pavel. He is currently working on the nature and mountains for the Nordic Horizons map expansion. So let's learn more about his creative process!
ENVIRONMENT
Forests
The Nordic forests of Norway, Sweden, and Finland are some of Europe's most beautiful and ecologically rich areas. The northern regions of Finland, Sweden, and Norway all share similar forest biomes. However, when traveling from the south to the most northern areas of these regions, you'll be able to spot some differences in how these forests have grown.
ENVIRONMENT
Churches of the North
From historical landmarks to modern masterpieces, you will find some amazing architectural gems in the northernmost part of Europe. Our asset and map designers have done an incredible job recreating these churches, taking inspiration from their real-world counterparts. Among the older ones, you might recognize the Trinity Church in Vaasa. Can you identify some others?

Remember, the models you see here represent just a portion of the new content our team has been creating. As this DLC is still in development, there's much more to come. Now, let's take a closer look at what’s in store!
CITIES
Rovaniemi
Tervetuloa to Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland! Best known as the official hometown of Santa Claus, this northern city attracts visitors from all around the world, with its unique blend of wilderness and modern comforts. As one of the larger cities in Finland, there is plenty to explore and discover as a visiting truck driver.
CITIES
Bodø
Located just north of the Arctic Circle, Bodø is the second biggest city in Northern Norway after Tromsø. Originally established as a trading town, it has a rich history in fishing and mining, which gave the town prosperity. During World War II, much of the town was unfortunately destroyed, but it has been completely rebuilt and enlarged, with a few surviving structures preserved. These can be found in our virtual recreation of Bodø as custom built buildings.
CITIES
City Landmarks
Along your journey through the northernmost part of Europe, you will come across plenty of historical buildings, beautiful sculptures, and other stunning structures. One of them is the Gävle Theater, a hallmark of Swedish theater architecture. Located in the heart of Gävle, a charming port town on Sweden's east coast, this historic building was completed in 1878 and remains a testament to the city's cultural heritage.
CITIES
Skellefteå
Skellefteå is located near the northeastern coast of Sweden and is one of the highlights of Swedish Lapland. The city's population is more than 36,000 citizens. Its nickname is Guldstaden which means "gold town" because of Skellefteå's rich industrial and mining history, which was especially focused on gold.
CITIES
Oulu
As one of the oldest cities in northern Finland and the fifth-largest by population, Oulu offers a unique mix of architectural landmarks and economic significance, making it a key destination for truckers. Our team has recreated several large industrial zones around the city, including a food industry producer and a chemical factory. That isn't all however, as you'll be sure to discover so much more when you visit the city yourself!

EXPANSION DESCRIPTION
The expansion features expansive fjords of Norway all the way to the Arctic Ocean, challenging bridges, underwater tunnels, and narrow roads, complete with encounters with reindeer and coastal fishing villages. Drive through Sweden’s Norrland, offering a diverse environment, from settled regions along the main E4 road to the barren hills of the Scandinavian mountains. Finland’s Lapland, with its dense coniferous forests to the expansive barren tundra, presents a stark contrast to the southern part of the country
