Goat Simulator 3 is a direct sequel to Goat Simulator, a silly game that started life as an April Fool’s joke born out of a game jam.

Goat Simulator 3 builds on everything fans of the first game loved, raising the baa to brand new heights (sometimes literally), starting an all-new adventure, once again featuring Pilgor the goat. This time she’s found new pastures on the sprawling sandbox island of San Angora, a place where mysteries and chaos follow wherever you go. Players are free to roam around and discover the island’s secrets or, well, just destroy stuff. This is a Goat Simulator, after all. 

Built from the gravel up, this next generation of goat simulation has it all; Goats, goats wearing hats, goats riding a goat wearing a hat. There are also unnatural disasters, secret animal societies, triple jumping and probably any other nonsense you could think up. But truly, what is all this exciting newness without friends to explore it with? In Goat Simulator 3, you can gather as a herd of up to 4 friends to be the goats of your dreams, together. Yes, Goat Simulator 3 has online multiplayer!  

Much like the original Goat Simulator, the sequel’s gameplay revolves around exploration, puzzle solving and “accidentally” destroying anything in sight - but this time there is so much more of it all. Blast NPCs with alien weapons, start wacky minigames anywhere in the sandbox (keep reading), become a “rhino” and stampede through town (sentence is soon over), join a secret goat society and help them achieve their goals, (hold that breath) drive a car straight into a gas station (what’s up with goats and gas stations anyway?), and so much more! The world truly is your oyster* (puh, you made it!). 

But everyone knows you can’t destroy the world if you don’t look good. In Goat Simulator 3, there are so many fashionable items to get your hooves on. If you want to roam around wearing a pink tutu, a giant blonde wig and with paint tins for shoes, who are we to stop you? It differentiates you from that one friend who’s dressed like a medieval knight shooting lasers from their eyes, and the other that’s cosplaying a giant abominable banana (aka Abominana), after all.

Coffee Stain Publishing and Coffee Stain North are commemorating the 2 year anniversary of Goat Simulator 3 with two new additions to the game: a free community update, and a paid Hocus Pocus DLC pack, both available for players on the 25th of November.

Goat Simulator 3’s free update showcases the talent of the community, introducing events, abilities, instincts and gears developed based on winning submissions from the community Gear Competition! Players can dig their horns into San Angora’s latest events - Fishing for Bob, Puppet Show, and Target Practice - to unlock these new gears:

• Bob (the Blobfish) – 1st place submission by Wilem Ménard
• Puppet Goat – joint-3rd place submission by Jeroen Vermeulen
• Grappling Bow – joint-3rd place submission by Evan Jonah Grizzard

Alongside the community-designed aspects of this update, some sleek new menu additions are also being added, including upgraded pop-ups, a News Feed, and an “add-ons” option for the Wardrobe.

Cabra-cadabra – a new gear pack has also appeared! Filled with all things magic, the paid Hocus Pocus DLC includes 20 new gears (6 with all new abilities), a new high-flying vehicle, and 5 new challenging instincts. This DLC is sure to show players just how bewitching goaty destruction can be. What more could you wand?

Here’s a little sneak peak into what the Hocus Pocus pack has to offer:

• Chain Spirit Boots – Chain objects together for some tangled-up mayhem
• The Broom – Fly around and feel the wind in your fur coat
• Dragon Scales – Launch fiery tornadoes at all who dare cross your path
• Owl Companion – A new friend that brings you gifts (in the form of nearby NPCs)

Santiago Ferrero, Creative Director at Coffee Stain North, said: “As we are approaching the 2 year anniversary of Goat Simulator 3, we knew we had to make it special. We loved running the Gear Competition and we’re thrilled to introduce the winning players’ designs into the game in celebration of our baa-rilliant community, and we can’t wait to see what magical mayhem everyone gets up to with the Hocus Pocus pack.”

Key Features:

• GOATS: You play as a goat! Pilgor, to be exact. However, you’ll also have the chance to wear the skins of many other ‘goats’. Tall goats, tasty goats, angry goats - all the goats you expect and more. 
• MULTIPLAYER: Your friends play as goats too! Goat Simulator 3 has 4 player co-op, locally or online. You’ll be able to travel through the world together, cause cooperative mischief aplenty, and compete in 7 fun multiplayer mini-games, and then not be friends anymore. 
• EXPLORATION: Goat Simulator 3’s giant new sandbox has plenty to discover - hidden secrets, quests, collectables and the devs actually bothered to make an ending this time! Use your own four hooves to get around, grind on your butt or buckle up for the ride of your life as all goats can drive cars*.
• CHAOS AND REACTIVITY: Cause all manner of mayhem as you lick, headbutt, crash and explode your way across the map, leaving no NPC unannoyed. Toy with the universally recognised four elements (Fire, Electricity, Oil and Alien Goo), test the limits of the world’s physics and interact with suspicious objects for… surprising results. 
• CUSTOMISATION: Players can fully customise their goat’s Head, Back, Feet, Body, Horns and Furs with over 300 different gear parts to choose from - from toilet rolls to tea trays… and other actual clothing items, if you want to be like that. Some gear parts will mutate your playstyle by giving you new abilities, all will alter your perceived sense of style.

Goat Simulator 3 is available for Android, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Epic Games Store / Steam).
