T-Minus Six Months and Counting….

Before anyone gets too excited, let me state for the record that I don’t have any official information regarding the release date for Giants Farming Simulator 19.  But we all know the saying, “History repeats itself” and today marks exactly 6 months to October 24, 2018.  What’s the significance of this date?  Well…Giants released Farming Simulator 17 on October 24, 2016.  Of course, we must also keep in mind that FS15 wasn’t released until October 30, 2014.  But that adds an extra week of waiting and I’m sure none of us want that.  Right?

But seriously, at this point in time, only Giants truly know the date they are marching towards.  We can certainly hope in the coming weeks/months Giants will ramp up the marketing hype (as they did with FS17) and share more details, hopefully with actual game play video and all the specifications of any new equipment/features we can expect to see.  But we also know the agricultural simulation gaming space is becoming quite competitive, so perhaps Giants will be a little less likely to release all the details.

We do know a few things we can expect in FS19.  Based on earlier communications from Giants, FS19 will introduce new farming activities, new animals (including horses), brand new mechanics and new crops.  In addition, improvements have been made to the Giants gaming engine to allow a much more immersive “eye candy” experience including shadows.  All very cool stuff and all reason enough for me to give them my money.  But what about the things we don’t know…or the things we hope will be included?

Unfortunately, we’ll just need to wait and see what happens.  Many will argue and say there wasn’t much difference between FS15 and FS17.  But I have a feeling FS19 will surprise us all in many ways.  While it may still not tick all the boxes for all players, I really am excited and can’t wait to learn more and of course experience it all first hand on release.

But for now….I’m headed back into FS17 to do a little field work.  Oh I do love this game….
