Let’s farm, and let the good times grow! Farming Simulator 22 is now available on PC and consoles.

Farms are growing bigger – just like the series

Farming Simulator 22 enhances the farming experience on every level: Seasonal farming adds (snowy) challenges, production chains more depth, new ground working mechanics more agricultural diversity, and an improved sound design more immersion.

A brand-new build mode and character creation tool promote creativity and player freedom on three distinct maps, inspired by southern France, the US-Midwest and the European Alpine region. All types of farmers will find the perfect landscape to build their farm and dive into agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. It is their choice whether they focus on the large variety of crops or tend to cows, sheep, chicken, pigs, and horses – even bees. Thanks to cross-platform multiplayer, it’s also easier than ever to cooperate.

With over 400 authentically digitized vehicles and tools from brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra and many more, the fleet of agricultural machinery grows, too. New machine categories allow farmers to create lush vineyards and olive orchards. Grapes, olives and sorghum are added to the range of crops.

Cultivated, fertilized, and now self-published

Christian Ammann, CEO of GIANTS Software, proudly comments: “It’s an amazing accomplishment that marks a striking milestone on multiple layers of the company’s history: Farming Simulator 22 is our first and globally self-published title, it’s the most extensive entry of the series to date, and it’s the result of our huge ambitions that will nourish our plans to realize even more potential in the future. It’s not just a milestone, it’s a stepping stone, as well.”

GIANTS Software also improved the foundation: On the technical side, the new GIANTS Engine 9 features DirectX 12, NVIDIA DLSS support, texture streaming and a lot more to optimize graphics and performance on all platforms. The official mod support, for PC and consoles, is also guaranteed. Just like with previous versions, the developers themselves test user content to publish their creations for free on the in-game ModHub.

Farming Simulator 22 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Stadia. A Year 1 Season Pass is available to extend the game with even more content in the future.

Train Life: A Railway Simulator Gets First Big Update

Train Life: A Railway Simulator is on the right track! Two months after launching on early access for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), the game continues to be received very well by the gaming community (83% positive reviews) and is going full steam ahead with a major update. As a reminder, Train Life is the first simulator to let players experience the life of a train driver while also managing their own railway company.

Two new trains have been added to the game: the Intercity Express (or ICE) trains. These high-speed trains, operated by the German rail company Deutsche Bahn, can be used to travel between several major German cities in Train Life. With the new update, players can drive the ICE 3 and ICE 4 models, and experience the highly realistic reproduction of the driver’s cab.

But what fun would new trains be without lines and stations to stop at? You can now travel to London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and many other faithfully recreated stations to transport passengers or deliver goods.

New scenarios have also been added to the Mission mode, in which players must fulfill objectives while meeting certain conditions. Expert knowledge of the vehicle is needed to win these challenges.

Finally, there has also been a number of fixes added to improve the game’s quality, stability and realism.

ELEX II Unveils Its Five Factions in New Trailer

Five major factions are holding the power in Magalan. The Berserkers are skilled magicians, who use the power of Elex to perform all different kinds of spells. They have managed to transform the desert of Tavar into a green and lush utopia and have established an outpost in the former stronghold of the Outlaws. This faction is scattered throughout Magalan – some outlaws have joined the Berserkers when they took over Tavar, some moved to the crater landscape of Ateris, and have continued their life of crime.

The Albs have learned from their defeat in ELEX and have returned as a playable faction. Jax can once again choose to become an Alb Commander. They have reduced their usage of Elex drastically, as they have seen how effective an Alb with actual emotions can be when Jax brought down the Hybrid. They are still not the most joyful lot, but their combat prowess makes them an interesting choice. Faction number four is the Clerics, who are famous for their love of engineering and crafting powerful combat robots powered by Elex. The Clerics paid a high price in the war against the Albs. Not only did they lose their home in Ignadon but many of their brothers and sisters fell on the battlefield as well.

The Morkons are a brand new faction in ELEX II. When the meteor hit Magalan, some survivors fled to an underground tunnel system and lived a life of darkness and deprivation. But recently, they’ve started to leave their isolation and want to spread their religion all over Magalan and wipe out anyone standing against them.

These are the playable factions in ELEX II, each offering their own unique weapons and skills. It’s up to the players to decide where their allegiance lies!

ELEX II will release on March 1st, 2022 for PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One™, and the Xbox Series S/X™. ELEX II can be wishlisted now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/900040
