August 10: Goat Simulator 3 is heading to Switch, according to a retailer listing which has since been pulled. The game was listed on Amazon Japan, but the page is no longer available.
Goat Simulator 3, the absurd sandbox action game, originally came out last year. It’ll now be releasing on Switch courtesy of Plaion, and it looks like all copies will include the Digital Downgrade DLC. This added a bunch of remastered content from the original game.
Note that there is no Goat Simulator 2. Coffee Stain just ended up going with a bit of a silly title this time around.
Here’s a bunch of information about the game:
Gather your herd and venture forth into Goat Simulator 3; an all-new, totally realistic, sandbox farmyard experience that puts you back in the hooves of no one’s favorite female protagonist.
Join Pilgor and get ready to create your own whirlwind adventure on the island of San Angora. Lick, headbutt, and ruin your way through our open world in the biggest waste of your time since the original Goat Simulator! We won’t tell you how to play (except in the tutorial), but merely provide the means to be the goats of your dreams.
If your dreams contain more than one goat, that works for us! In Goat Simulator 3, you can invite up to three friends in local or online co-op to create carnage as a team, or compete in mini-games and then not be friends anymore. And don’t worry, there are plenty of customization options so you and your pals don’t wear clashing outfits.
Goat Simulator 3 first launched in November 2022, and since then our “game designers” have been hard at work adding even more weird and wondrous stuff. As well as all the original goat-y goodness, Steam players will be able to experience all content from the game’s post-launch updates; including the Mandatory Holiday Update, Operation Crackdown and the Shadiest Update, with more to come!
Key Features
- You can be a goat
- Three of your friends can be goats too, and join you in local or online co-op
- No really, there are so many goats. If you want to be fancy you can wear the skins of tall goats, stripey goats, and many more. There’s a goat for everyone!
- Dress up your goat in all kinds of nonsense, from toilet rolls to tea trays. Put on a jetpack for all we care
- We have actual ‘game designers’ who have worked to create ‘an okay amount of content’; including events, NPCs to mess with, physics, status effects, collectables, easter eggs, lies, betrayal, heartbreak
- They’ve added mini-games too, lots of mini-games (seven is a lot, right?)
- They’ve even added a bunch of extra content since the game first launched, aren’t you a bunch of lucky kids?
