Players of a popular driving simulator will be able to explore Iceland’s Ring Road in an upcoming expansion, Vísir reports. The update, still in development by SCS, will allow digital travel around the well-known route that circles Iceland.

The expansion will let players visit a total of fourteen Icelandic towns and settlements, including Reykjavík and Akureyri. Reykjavík is the capital and largest city in Iceland, located in the southwest, while Akureyri is the main town in the north and the largest outside the capital area.

SCS has shown detailed footage of Keflavík, Iceland’s main international airport, as part of its promotion for the new expansion. It is not yet known exactly which other towns and settlements will be included in the finished game.

No official release date for the Iceland Ring Road expansion has yet been announced, according to the latest update from Vísir.
