Free Update – Gifts from the Rifts
Watch the free update trailer here!
The developers over at Coffee Stain North have been cooking up some wild ideas for Goat Simulator 3, but not all of them can be chosen. Or can they? To close out the 10th anniversary celebrations in as chaotic a manner as possible, a free in-game update is now live containing a multitude of unreleased ideas for players to dig their horns into!
The Gifts from the Rifts update contains 27 new gears (and an additional hidden gear), as well as two new events bringing the April 1st festivities to San Angora. And to top it all off, the update comes with an all new alternate goat: Plushie Pilgor. Based on our partnership with YouTooz, this digital soft toy goat has an all new ability, turning anything in its path into a plaything.
Gifts from the Rifts is available now on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store, as well as on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS and Android. Also coming to Nintendo Switch soon!
YouTooz Collectible Pilgor plushie
Goat Simulator fans will soon be able to have their own Pilgor to take home, as the Goat Simulator YouTooz limited edition collectible plushie is now available to pre-order! Pilgor is adorable when you look past her destructive habits of terrorising the city and licking civilians. Perhaps all she needs is a loving home to bring peace to San Angora?
Purchasing the plushie also grants access to a hidden in-game gear as part of the Gifts from the Rifts update – all the more reason to get your hooves on one!
Pre-order the Pilgor plushie now via the YouTooz website, and follow YouTooz on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X.
Multiverse of Nonsense – Soon on Mobile
Mobile gamers, rejoice! Goat Simulator 3’s first major DLC, the Multiverse of Nonsense, is soon coming to iOS and Android as a brand new mobile experience. Explore a mythological mountaintop, a cartoon town, and a city where Human Simulator 3 was the hottest game of 2022… These three new areas are full of chaotic world events, and it's up to you to complete them and restore (in)stability to the universe!
Get Goat Simulator 3 now on iOS and Android, and stay tuned for more details on the Multiverse of Nonsense Mobile release date!
Return of ‘A Goat’ Outfit in Fortnite
Check out ‘A Goat’ in action in the trailer here!
Following a minor stint a few weeks back, the iconic Goat Simulator “A Goat” Outfit will soon be returning to the Fortnite Shop once more to close out the ‘Year of the Goat’!
Losing to a goat in a RGDL cropped top with its tongue blowing in the wind – what better way for your opponents to go out? It’s what they would have wanted.
Fortnite is available on Playstation, Xbox, Switch, Android, PC, cloud-based streaming services, and iPhones and iPads in the European Union. Learn more at www.fortnite.com.
And Finally…
If all that wasn’t enough, check out this cryptic teaser that rounded out the showcase. What could possibly be next for Pilgor and San Angora?
