Goat Simulator, a series renowned for its irreverent humor, took a more serious tone at its recent Goat Direct showcase, which surprisingly featured fewer practical jokes than fans might expect. Instead, the focus was on new merchandise, including plushies and a unique CRKD controller line, alongside a sneak peek at an upcoming card game.
The highlight for many, however, was the announcement that the much-anticipated Multiverse of Nonsense expansion pack for Goat Simulator 3 is coming to mobile devices. While an exact release date remains under wraps, more details are expected to be shared soon. This expansion promises to catapult players into a parallel universe, offering bizarre and entertaining settings ranging from cartoon-themed towns to mythical mountaintops.
In addition to this, Coffee Stain North celebrated April Fool's Day with a free update for Goat Simulator 3. This 10th-anniversary celebration introduces 27 new pieces of gear, two new events in San Angora, and a special goat skin inspired by the upcoming Pilgor plushie, which will hit the market later this year.
It's perhaps fitting that the Goat Direct was lighter on the pranks, considering the series' history of outlandish features. Adding more nonexistent elements might have frustrated fans eagerly awaiting real content.
