Will there be ETS 3 in the future?

....any info?

Talk to SCS mate they are the only people that know. No one, and I mean no one, on here can tell you what SCS have planned.

Those who know won't say, and those who will know nothing.

As far as we the players can tell, there is no intention of making an ETS3 and throwing away all the progress of ETS2. There's no valid reason to make an ETS3 at this time.

Pavel has stated that there are no plans for ETS 3, he added that after completing the existing ETS 2 and ATS that the company may well consider doing something very different.

ETS 3 looks very unlikely right now. What happens 5-10 years from now is not decided beyond wishing to complete the two existing titles.

I hope they continue to finish out ETS2 and ATS both. The graphics in both are fine though some older areas could always use a little touch-up or tweak. But generally, the game looks amazing considering it's what, 12 years old?

Personally, I'd love to see them progress into Asia but don't know if that will even happen. They could always treat this like Star Citizen, keep it ever-evolving and growing and becoming everything it can be.

Another wish, I'd like to see more realism in cargo mechanics so that cab sizes and chassis choices actually have an impact. But with a 40-44 tonne limit to work with, and even 4x2's able to haul 44 tonnes GCWR, there may not be much they can do beyond where it's at now.

Lastly, what about a total transport game where it integrates with Flight Simulator and Train Sim World titles? Haul a load to be picked up by a friend in a train who carries it on to the airport where another friend's 747 carries it on to parts unknown... ;-)

Probably not, but if so at least a decade away.

Just guessing here, but judging how this game doesn't have, let's say, a storyline for example, it's very unlikely.

Maybe some conditions before thinking on a sequel is finishing all European countries for this one first, both delivering the new and renewing the old, and thinking on some groundbreaking feature that the current version couldn't handle. But even a massive update could be done to current software, and they could simply renumber the existent one.

Nope. There is absolutely nothing an ETS3 could do better than what can be done in ETS2 already.
It also means that SCS would need to renegotiate all the licences (that costs a lot of time and money) and you can bet that the oldest trucks (e.g. the Renault Magnum) won't be in that game anymore. With that you will have an inferiour new game that will 100% be a flop.
