Horsch AgroVation map is back

March 7, 2025

The official Horsch AgroVation map has now been updated by Giants for Farming Simulator 25.

This somewhat special map is based on Horsch’s real facility in the Czech Republic used for research and testing of their farming equipment and – somewhat to my own surprise – it actually became my favourite Giants’ made official map in Farming Simulator 22. The different field sizes in combination with a nicely done and decorated realistic map is quite satisfying for some reason.

Another returning map from Farming Simulator 22 is the Silverrun Forest map which is available for FS25 since February 26.

Silverrun Forest with its inspiration from the North American Pacific northwest is a map mostly focused on forestry, even if it of course also has some possibilities for agricultural work.

To the shore of the Great Lakes

February 14, 2025

SCS Software has revealed the next US state in their work pipeline for American Truck Simulator and it will be the one state needed to complete the classical Route 66 distance between Chicago and Los Angeles.

So Illinois it is. Or will be, more exactly, since there are some states queued up to be released before this.

Farming Simulator 25 is released

November 13, 2024

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.)

The three maps coming with FS25

November 8, 2024

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.

Planet Coaster 2 launches

November 6, 2024

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.

Farming Simulator 25 garage trailer

November 5, 2024

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.

Railroad Corporation 2 in early access

October 23, 2024

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.

Farming Simulator – now with real weather

Farming Simulator – now with real weather

August 21, 2024

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.

FS25 news at FarmCon

July 4, 2024

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.
