Yesterday Giants Software released their latest iteration of Farming Simulator. The new Farming Simulator 25 builds upon the earlier versions in the series and has on top of a selection of the assets which were added through the DLCs to FS22 also a slew of entirely new things.
And of course a real review of the game here is in the works. (Edit: The review can now be found here.)
All three maps which will be available in Farming Simulator 25 now have their separate intro videos.
In order of novelty the first one is the East Asian-inspired Hutan Pantai, which of course will be the perfect map to try out both the new rice crops as well as the new water buffalo livestock.
The second map is the American Riverbend Springs map. Even if maybe not as well-known, there are parts of the US where rice cultivation is possible and this map naturally is depicting one such area.
The third map is the Polish-inspired Zielonka map from the DLC for Farming Simulator 22, now updated to a Farming Simulator 25 map. While maybe not the most natural map to try out the rice on, it will be very good for testing out the new vegetable crops like spinach. Or the goats.
All the maps will of course make use of all the new things coming in Farming Simulator 25, such as the new weather effects, ground deformation, a built-in GPS, and more.
Farming Simulator 25 will be released on 12 November but can already be pre-ordered if you want to start as soon as you can on the 12th.
Frontier’s sequel to their first Planet Coaster game is today released to the world. Just like in its predecessor, the goal is to construct the best – and profitable – park possible.
The spiritual successor to the old Rollercoaster Tycoon games as well as Planet Coaster, Planet Coaster 2 provides the player with the tools to make a detailed theme park filled with rides, food venues, and other attractions.
No, not that kind of trailer. The other, video thing kind. Although there’s at least one trailer to be seen in the trailer.
Farming Simulator 25 will be released November 12.
A new game in the “construct railroads” genre got released October 21 in early access and it looks promising.
As the name implies, this game is about planning, running, and hopefully expand your railroad company with a start in 1870.
We have got our hands on a copy, so a review is coming soon.
There’s a new batch of news from Giants Software regarding their upcoming Farming Simulator 25.
The highlights this time? Cute baby animals and challenging weather.
This new gameplay trailer clearly shows off some of the in my mind quite big improvements in the new Farming Simulator.
Getting several stages of animal growth visualized is a nice addition to the animal handling and – hopefully – also hints of other changes in this department. Plus did I mention they are severely cute?
The other big addition is in my opinion even bigger though. According to Giants, there will now be a possibility – or maybe the correct word to use is risk – for both tornadoes and hail storms. Both of which may damage both crops, trees and maybe even buildings. But don’t worry. If you for some reason don’t want such challenges in your quiet, chill farmlife, they will be able to toggle off.
The yearly FarmCon is happening in Germany and that also means that we get some new information on Giants’ upcoming Farming Simulator 25. This includes a nearly half-hour long video which shows the first actual gameplay footage.
Included is the first look on how rice is cultivated and harvested, and in that process we also get to see an rice planter from the Japanese brand Iseki. Since rice is now a thing I suspect that brand will feature more prominently in FS25 than it ever did in Farming Simulator 22.
Giants Software today announced that Farming Simulator 25 will be released on November 12 this year for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The new version of the now classic game series will for the first time include a map, crops, and machinery suitable for East Asian farming. In other words it is time to plant and grow rice paddies.
In addition there will also in the base game be one American and one Central European map, over 20 different crops, animals – including buffalos – as well as new production chains and constructions.
The game engine itself has also got an overhaul and is now on version 10, which among other things means improved graphics and physics, providing effects like distance fog, enhanced shadows, dynamic weather effects, ground deformation, and more.
Farming Simulator 25 is already available for pre-order as standard and collector’s editions in select web stores, including Giants’ own store. Official release date is November 12, 2024.
The next DLC for Farming Simulator 22 is on its way and this time the focus is on production and logistics.
The Farm Production Pack is a collaboration between Dutch Modding Incorporated (DMI) and Giants Software, and the pack will bring all kinds of things in order to improve the logistics and resource management.
All in all the pack includes over 20 new machines, selling-points and buildings. This includes a full-blown distribution center for pallets of goods which can become a mini-game in itself.
For the crops there is the washer for rootcrops, improving their selling price. And speaking of selling, there’s also new placeable farm stores in different sizes where you can sell your produce.
The Farm Production Pack is coming April 30th for PC and consoles, but preorders are already open.
The first add-on pack for Cities: Skylines II has now been released. The Beach Properties Asset Pack adds new items for those high-value (hopefully) waterfront properties.
Buyers of the DLC will get access to the following:
Waterfront Zone: A new residential zoning option dedicated to waterfront buildings allows you to redefine your city’s coastline.
Beach Properties: Each theme adds growable residential buildings waiting to populate your new waterfront zone, from luxurious waterfront mansions to charming beachside cottages.
Signature Waterfront Buildings: Tailored to fit into European or North American architectural themes, these signature buildings are crafted to highlight your city’s beachfront.
Beach Properties features 70 new assets, including:
Beach Properties is also available as part of the Expansion Pass: Waterfronts, which is included in the Ultimate Edition.
