For a franchise that thrives on its irreverent humor, Goat Simulator's Goat Direct showcase took an unexpectedly serious turn, with fewer practical jokes than fans might have anticipated. The event focused heavily on new merchandise, showcasing an array of collectibles such as plushies and the new CRKD controller line, alongside a sneak peek at an upcoming card game.
However, the highlight for many was the announcement that the much-anticipated Multiverse of Nonsense expansion pack for Goat Simulator 3 is set to launch on mobile devices. Although a specific release date remains under wraps, more details are expected to be shared soon. As the name suggests, this expansion will transport players into a parallel universe, where they'll encounter bizarre settings ranging from a cartoon-themed town to a city of goats and even a mythical mountaintop.
But wait, there's more—Coffee Stain North didn't stop there. In celebration of April Fool's Day, they've released a free update for Goat Simulator 3, marking the game's 10th anniversary. This update includes 27 new pieces of gear, introduces two new events to San Angora, and features an alternative goat skin inspired by the upcoming Pilgor plushie, slated for release later this year.
It's somewhat fitting that Goat Direct was lighter on the pranks. With the series already known for its outlandish additions, adding fake announcements might have just frustrated fans eagerly awaiting real content.
