If SCS has not given a date for this, DO NOT put any money down for it. You could get ripped off. Final word comes from SCS! We are hoping for Christmas delivery.

Of course it is. I plan to buy DLS only through Steam store after the official release. I was waiting for release by the end of December, but the early public beta of 1.26 and depots updates section on the site: steamdb. This alarmed me. Will wait

SCS is planning to release when they finish open beta. However they usually gives information in advance - especially if they gonna give boxed version - they need time to prepare and distribute copies. If steam only, they can give an info few days before ;)

SCS have probably given the Publishers a time frame at this point.

While there is no certainty that date on Amazon is correct, Amazon just list a date for the purpose of pre-orders like most stores do. That said we know that is the week they intend to release if they are on target so it's not a complete stretch.

Do not believe publishers except for scs themselves. Amazon and other publishers just guess for release dates. When ATS came out there was about 3-4 seperate release dates which amazon showed

[Dave]

This BS again. Same thing happened with the Scandinavian DLC before SCS confirmed a release date, publishers jumped the gun and literally started predicting when it would be released while SCS didn't mention a word about any dates at all. All publishers that claim to know the release dates for any DLC if SCS haven't publicly announced a release date are wrong.

The French DLC won't be released on the 6th of December, unless by some miracle that they happened to guess the right date while SCS hasn't even announced anything regarding one.

Why people keep thinking that SCS tell the players absolutely everything ?
Shouldn't they have some topics only for some specific people ?

SCS did not order its retail boxes for Scandinavia the day of the release, they did it weeks before that and then send it to their publishers & resellers days before the release date. It wasn't Christmas morning like " oh s**t, two thousands boxes of a truck simulator [...] "

SCS has a window, the publishers wish for a narrower window & the resellers are fixated on an even narrower window, maybe a wrong one but none of them are in the dark.

TL;DR: IMHO, SCS won't tell the players until the day but the resellers will know before that.

Edit: There is a loophole here. Since Scandinavia was only a redeeming code (no physical CD in the boxes), the resellers may have it in stock but weren't allowed to sell until the say so from the publishers. SCS could have working on it for weeks while it was waiting on the shelves.

Spot on, every publisher is announcing / talking with retail stores weeks/months before the release date. During the release date on steam there will be retail copies available in stores so that should make you think, they have to be produced, boxed, shipped long distances, unboxed and for all that to be ready on the release date, they must do it weeks before. If they "public announce" it too soon, by the time it is released all the "hype" will be gone.

Im just asking...but how do you manage to get ripped of on amazon when buying a physical product from there which is sold by the german publisher of the game who sold every other ets2/ats related retail packaging here too?
Not mentioning the fact that amazon only charges you after they have send out the ordered stuff...

Ouch indeed. This is way too much for half a country!!
If the DLC would include maybe Italy (full), Spain and Portugal, that would be fair!

You are aware, that the base game is already at 20€? If this continues, we will enter the silly world of Train Simulator, where tiny little DLCs cost like 50% MORE than the base game and they throw out hundreds of them!!!

what do you think there doing with American Truck Simulator same thing they released 2 states and 2 trucks for $20. now there gonna finish the other 48 states and your gonna have to pay for them.there milking the cash cows .it's pretty sad that a game company says let your wallets do the talking . unlike Euro Truck Simulator 2 where they gave you a whole completed game with plenty of trucks and countries to drive in sorry but scs lost my vote on American Truck Simulator im not gonna pay for a game that should have been done right in the first place im sticking with Euro Truck Simulator 2 for alot of reasons .
