For a series renowned for its irreverent and humorous approach, Goat Simulator's Goat Direct showcase was surprisingly light on practical jokes. Instead, the event focused on showcasing an array of new merchandise, including plushies and the CRKD controller line, alongside a sneak peek at an upcoming card game.
The highlight of the showcase for many was the announcement that the Goat Simulator 3 expansion pack, Multiverse of Nonsense, is set to launch on mobile devices soon. While a specific release date remains under wraps, fans can expect more details to be released in the near future. As the name suggests, Multiverse of Nonsense will transport players into a parallel universe teeming with bizarre and whimsical elements, from a cartoon-themed town to a city of goats and a mythical mountaintop.
But wait, there's moreIn addition to the mobile expansion, Coffee Stain North unveiled a new, free update for Goat Simulator 3 in celebration of April Fool's Day. This 10th-anniversary update introduces 27 new pieces of gear, two new events set in San Angora, and an alternative goat skin inspired by the upcoming Pilgor plushie, which is slated for release later this year.
It's somewhat fitting that Goat Direct took a more serious tone, considering the series' history of outlandish additions. Adding more nonexistent features amidst real announcements could have frustrated fans eagerly awaiting the latest updates and releases.
