Farming Simulator 25 is released

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.

The three maps coming with FS25

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

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

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

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.

Space Engineers: Contact on October 14

The newest DLC and accompanying update to the space construction game Space Engineers has now got October 14 as its launch date.

As the name suggests, this DLC’s focus is on making space a bit more populated. This means there are new Global Encounters as well as Planetary Encounters to expect. Also a whole brand new faction in the form of The Factorum. Makers of a competely new technology.

This new tech consists of a number of new types of blocks such as Prototech Components, Prototech Assembler and a Prototech Refinery, to only name a few. And what’s really new with all this Prototech stuff is that it’s obtainable only from encounters.

As usual, parts of the new content will be added as a free update while the new blocks will be for DLC owners only to build. As per the usual Keen Software policy there will be no need for all the participants in a multiplayer game to own the DLC, only the host.

Slow traffic

I am not sure if this is something that was added recently, but this is as far as I can recall the first time I’ve got stuck behind a slow-moving tractor in American Truck Simulator.

The location is a highway in Arkansas, by the way.

New Mack truck added in ATS

Right in time for their launch of the Arkansas DLC, SCS Software has added yet another truck to the American Truck Simulator stable.

This time it is the Mack Pinnacle which will join the line-up of Mack Anthem trucks ingame and is a free addition to the game. It will show up as soon as the 1.51 version of the game is installed.

The Mack Pinnacle will be available in all the classic three cabin variants (Day Cab, 48-inch Flat Top Sleeper and 70-inch StandUp Sleeper), several chassis and length options (6×2, 6×2 Liftable Pusher and 6×4), and with three engine options ranging from 415hp to 505hp.

Introduced in 2006, the Pinnacle is the successor of the Mack Vision. Currently, the product line is sold in the United States and Canada even if a similar version also is marketed in parts of South America.

In addition to the Mack Pinnacle, the 1.51 patch of the game will also add the  Limited Edition Mack Black Anthem®, which sports a blacked-out exterior trim package and other additional interior features. In the real world only 500 of this version was made, so it will definitely be easier to get your hands on it ingame where it will be available at all Mack salespoints.
