First things first, we will have to wait at least 3~4 months for the next update.

Secondly, maybe 2022 will bring us a new engine.

The new engine is most likely on a long term. Maybe 2-3 years.

On the other hand, before I speculate something, there may be contents to be discussed/mentioned in the Christmas Stream, and what will expect for such content in 2022. Aside from the anticipated Heart of Russia, there may be more, such as new trucks, new ownable trailers, reskins and lots of lots of stuff.


For the 1.44 speculation changelogs, most likely:

General Feature:
- Trucking School

Map:
- More tollgate updates (first phase done on the 1.43 release)
- Austria reskin
- New Renault Factory (Lyon)*
- New hidden roads for Heart of Russia*
- New road distance signs across EU (as ATS have it)
- Identified unmarked/unexplored roads (a.k.a. Easter Egg Roads)

Vehicle:
- New set of AI vehicles
- Updated licence plates across EU (both trucks, trailers and AI)


Gameplay:
- Additional cargoes for dumpers (which I posted in the Wishlists Megathread)
- Additional viewpoints for selected Scandinavian areas and reskinned parts of the base (e.g. Calais Ferry Port, some parts of reskinned Austria)

Other:
- Convoy-related
- New experimental support for devices and console.
- Pedestrian and vehicular traffic density slider.

* - Some changelogs might not happen on 1.44. It might fall in 1.45 and beyond.

- To be updated...

Realistically, I think either the Austria rework or Heart of Russia compatibility will come with 1.44, but not both. I'd love to be proven wrong and get both sooner, though.

Also, mileage_targets.sii makes me hopeful that SCS are working on implementing distance signs in ETS2. Of course, this will take a long time to fully implement (even if they automate the distance calculations, it will take a long time just to place the signs themselves), but perhaps we might see the first glimpses of this feature it in the next update?

I don't think HoR will have to wait to 1.45; so I bet for the same as JolliciusJosh: Austria rework (not parts, this will be a single shot) plus let everything ready for HoR release a few weeks later.

As other features for that update; I suppose something extra for convoy mode (they said they have several things in mind to be made before increase the max players number).

Krone factory or Renault one would be very nice too; although maybe the Renault one could arrive sooner. We know they have something to announce regarding Renault still this end of the year.

I think we can expect the Austria Rework in 1.44, it would make sense with the annual rate of release that base map reworks have been following so far.

I also hope to see distance signs added to the game someday, at least in the "post-Scandinavia" DLCs and the reworked base map areas, in a similar way to ATS. And apart of them, as I have said before, it would be nice if rivers and regions in the larger countries could be signed, too, since ATS already has them (albeit it's easier to add them to ATS since the map takes place in the same country).

Let's take a look at what I would like in this update
1. Reskin Austria with registered office Schwarzmüller, + addition of Liechtenstein (Vaduz)
2. new Krone semi-trailers, city Werlte with registered office Krone
3. Schwarzmüller tipper
4. new engines Scania + Scania camera mirrors
5. Renault factory near Lyon
6. Reparation of all border crossings in the base map and Going East and give them a real look
7th new roads in Iberia, mainly: the addition of a road between Zaragoza and Pau, + the island of Mallorca and the city of Palma
8. the addition of the city of Pau

Don't count on the game engine getting replaced.


1: Update to the Goodyear pack so it has trailer tyres.
2: Austria rebuild
3: Convoy tweaks
4: DX12
5: Fuel Tanker trailers.

The engine is Prism3D
Rework of the core parts are plausible and needed

Changes to the engine interms of core parts yes I agree, but mentioning a change to a new engine has quickly devolved into heated arguments before.
