Goat Simulator's latest Goat Direct showcase was notably tame on the humor front, a surprising shift for a franchise known for its irreverent antics. Instead of pranks, the spotlight shone on new merchandise, including plushies and the CRKD controller line, alongside a sneak peek at an upcoming card game.
The highlight for many fans, however, was the announcement that the 'Multiverse of Nonsense' expansion pack for Goat Simulator 3 is set to hit mobile devices soon. While an exact release date remains under wraps, more details are expected to be shared in the near future. As the name suggests, 'Multiverse of Nonsense' promises to transport players into a parallel universe brimming with bizarre and entertaining transformations, ranging from cartoon-themed towns to mythical mountaintops and cities populated by goats.
**But wait, there's more** In a nod to April Fool's Day, Coffee Stain North also rolled out a free update for Goat Simulator 3. This 10th-anniversary celebration introduces 27 new pieces of gear, two fresh events in San Angora, and a new goat skin inspired by the upcoming Pilgor plushie, slated for release later this year.
It's somewhat fitting that Goat Direct chose to minimize the practical jokes. Given the series' history of outlandish additions, adding more fictitious features might have risked frustrating fans eagerly awaiting real updates and releases.
