– 1 min read
Over 3,500 people attended FarmCon 24, more than 2.5 times the number of visitors last year. The focus was on the recently announced Farming Simulator 25. A success that Giants Software is proud of.
With a record attendance of more than 3,500 visitors, FarmCon 24 was the biggest FarmCon yet. The previous year's FarmCon attracted 1,300 visitors to the Deutz-Fahr Arena in Lauingen. Christian Ammann, CEO of Giants Software, reflected on the event: "Our ever-growing community continues to amaze us with their unwavering enthusiasm. This year's FarmCon truly demonstrated how unique, engaged, and passionate our fans are. We want to thank all of our attendees for making this our biggest event yet, and we look forward to the future with Farming Simulator 25."
The community event took place last weekend at the Fendt Forum in Marktoberdorf, Germany, where the famous manufacturer's tractors are produced. For the first time, fans got a glimpse of the upcoming game as several developers took to the stage. After Stefan Geiger (CTO) laid the foundation with a detailed look at the new Giants Engine 10, Senior Level Designer Florian Busse presented the new US map Riverbend Springs. Manuel Leithner (Lead Gameplay Programmer) and Stefan Maurus (Gameplay Programmer & Lead Integrator) presented machines and gameplay.
Visitors also had the chance to get behind the wheel of Fendt tractors such as the Fendt 942 Vario and take part in special factory tours. Giants Software also invited fans to ask questions in Q&A sessions, meet international content creators from around the world and watch Team Helm win the Farming Simulator League crown for season five. The developers also released the FarmCon 24 - Fendt Pack for Farming Simulator 22 as a free download for everyone.
Farming Simulator 25 will be released on 12 November 2024 for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
