Sneak Peek into Farming Simulator 25: Exciting Previews from Giants Software

Hey everyone,

Farmer Jim here! As we all eagerly await more information about Farming Simulator 25, I’m thrilled to share some exclusive sneak peeks that Giants Software has given their partners. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend FarmCon 24 this year, as it’s a bit too far for me. But fear not! I’ve got some exciting details to share with you all.

Exclusive Preview at FarmCon 24

Giants Software has shared some incredible previews of what’s to come in Farming Simulator 25, which will be showcased at FarmCon 24 this weekend. Let’s dive into the highlights!

Scenic Long Ride:
Here’s a clip of a long ride through some of the stunning scenery we’ll get to explore come November. The attention to detail in the landscape is truly remarkable.

Key Locations:
We have another clip showcasing key locations such as the Dealership, Gas Station, Vehicle Shop, and Animal Dealer. There’s also a glimpse of what the animals will look like in the new game.

Waterways:
Check out this preview of some of the rivers, creeks, and streams. The water effects are incredibly realistic and add a beautiful touch to the game’s environment.

Forestry and Foliage:
This clip highlights some nice forestry areas with varying elevations and detailed foliage. The improvements in the game’s graphics are clearly evident.

Planting and Harvesting:
These next clips focus on planting and harvesting on the new map, including a look at some of the new crop types and a peek inside the greenhouse for rice saplings. Could this indicate a new production feature?

  • ISEKI PRJ8D Planter: Watch as it loads rice pallets and plants them.
  • ISEKI HJ6130 Harvester: See it in action harvesting rice.
  • New Holland Harvester: Witness it harvesting long rice from a field.

I also noticed GPS functionality in the lower right-hand corner of these machines, which is a great addition!

Engine Performance:
Remember the screenshot of the fog laying on the river from last week? It was a demonstration of what the new GIANTS Engine 10 can do. These next few clips further showcase the engine’s impressive performance capabilities.
