GIANTS Software :

In less than four weeks, Farming Simulator 22 invites players to build their farm in one of three distinct settings. Developer and publisher GIANTS Software releases a new trailer and impressions to welcome soon-to-be farmers to Elmcreek.

Creating big US farming operations

Elmcreek is inspired by the North American landscape in the Midwest. Most noticeable is the idyllic out-of-town charm, with a gas station, various small businesses, residential areas, even a baseball stadium, and a bowling center spread across the land. Farmers start with a piece of land in the center, allowing them to spread out all over the map.

Over 80 fields in various shapes and sizes are predefined – with the option to create more. Also, thanks to the new production chains, players can extend their operation with various factories to create a whole business empire. In (cross-platform) multiplayer, multiple farmers occupy different locations on the map to complete each other.

Discovering big rocks and hidden caves

Besides agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry, Elmcreek has a lot more to offer to its farmers due to its unique landscape. Players can discover a huge canyon with a hidden cave between big rocks, embedded seamlessly into the landscape. Increases and decreases in elevation of the land also allow for beautiful sightseeing spots, railways, rivers and streams that wind themselves through the scenery.
Farming Simulator 22 releases on November 22nd for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Stadia. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more info.
