For a series renowned for its irreverent humor, the recent Goat Simulator's Goat Direct showcase took a surprisingly more serious tone, with fewer practical jokes than fans might expect. The event focused on unveiling new merchandise such as plushies and a unique line of CRKD controllers, alongside a sneak peek at an upcoming card game.
However, the highlight for many was the exciting announcement that the Goat Simulator 3 expansion pack, Multiverse of Nonsense, is set to launch on mobile devices. While a specific release date remains under wraps, the developers have assured fans that more details will be forthcoming.
True to its name, Multiverse of Nonsense promises to transport players to a parallel universe brimming with bizarre and whimsical transformations, from a cartoon-themed town to a city populated entirely by goats, to a mystical mountaintop.
But wait, there's moreIn celebration of April Fool's Day, Coffee Stain North has also released a new, free update for Goat Simulator 3. This 10th-anniversary update introduces 27 new pieces of gear, two new events in San Angora, and a new goat skin inspired by the upcoming Pilgor plushie, which is slated for release later this year.
The subdued approach to humor at Goat Direct might be seen as fitting. Given the series' history of outlandish additions, adding more fictitious elements could risk frustrating fans eagerly awaiting the latest real content.
