SCS Software has reopened Brackenreach, the studio’s Halloween destination, with the Return to Brackenreach World of Trucks event. It is live now in both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator and runs until Sunday, November 1 at 23:59 UTC.
The headline number is a shared target: the community is aiming for 1,300,000 deliveries of Halloween treats and supplies, made to or from any city as well as Castle Brackenhelm inside Brackenreach itself.
Three objectives run in parallel. The personal goal asks each driver for 15 Halloween deliveries, including three into Castle Brackenhelm and three out of it, with progress shared across either game or both. The community goal is the 1.3 million total. A third, optional objective is a discovery bonus: find the Witches’ House hidden inside Brackenreach.
Each objective pays out a separate Steam inventory item. Finishing the personal goal grants a World of Trucks achievement and the Wisp Lantern cabin accessory. If the community goal is met and a player has cleared the personal goal, they receive the Key to Brackenreach hanging cabin item. Discovering the Witches’ House unlocks the Ember Grimoire. Last year’s Spooky Horn vehicle accessory returns alongside the other rewards.
The personal goal is the gate: the Key to Brackenreach only arrives after a driver completes their 15 deliveries, even if the community hits 1.3 million first. The Ember Grimoire is independent, so the discovery bonus can be claimed without waiting on the community result.
Participation runs through External Contracts on a World of Trucks-linked profile. Four cargo types appear for the event — Halloween Treats, Halloween Costumes, Halloween Herbs & Spices, and Halloween Crafts. Accepting cargo bound for Castle Brackenhelm opens a portal to Brackenreach, marked on the map by a spiral icon with falling autumn leaves. Leaving with cargo takes a driver to the delivery destination, while leaving empty drops them in a random city for a fresh job.
SCS Software will stream a look at how the event was designed on Monday, October 19 at 6 pm CEST on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook, and the studio is collecting runs under the #ReturnToBrackenreach hashtag.
