A double dose of goat-tastic goodness is playing out today with a new update and some paid DLC for Goat Simulator 3.
Coffee Stain are celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Goat Simulator 3 with a free community update and a paid Hocus Pocus DLC pack, both arriving on all systems today. As we discovered in our review of the base game, this chaotic sandbox adventure delivers a hilarious and unpredictable experience, and these new additions promise to amplify the mayhem.
Community Creations Come to Life
The free community update showcases the creativity of the Goat Simulator 3 community, introducing new events, abilities, instincts, and gears based on winning submissions from the recent Gear Competition.
Players can now wreak havoc with:
- Bob (the Blobfish): Embrace the absurdity of a blobfish-inspired goat, courtesy of Wilem Ménard.
- Puppet Goat: Transform into a puppet-like goat and control your limbs with hilarious precision, thanks to Jeroen Vermeulen.
- Grappling Bow: Launch a grappling hook and swing through the world with this unique new gear, created by Evan Jonah Grizzard.
In addition to these community-designed creations, the update also includes sleek new menu additions, such as upgraded pop-ups, a news feed, and an “add-ons” option for the Wardrobe.
Hocus Pocus DLC: Unleash Your Inner Magic Goat
For those seeking even more goat-tastic mayhem, the Hocus Pocus DLC pack delivers a magical twist to the sandbox experience. It comes with 20 new bits of gear, including six with brand-new abilities, a new high-flying vehicle, and five challenging instincts. This DLC will have you casting spells and causing chaos like never before.
Highlights from the Hocus Pocus Pack:
- Chain Spirit Boots: Link objects together and create a chain reaction of destruction.
- The Broom: Soar through the skies on a magical broomstick and feel the wind in your goat fur.
- Dragon Scales: Unleash fiery tornadoes and incinerate anything that stands in your path.
- Owl Companion: Befriend a wise owl companion who delivers “gifts” (in the form of unsuspecting NPCs).
Developer Quote
“As we are approaching the 2-year anniversary of Goat Simulator 3, we knew we had to make it special,” said Santiago Ferrero, Creative Director at Coffee Stain North. “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.”
A Reminder of the Goat Simulator 3 Experience
As we noted in our review, Goat Simulator 3 is a worthy successor to the original, so much so that “If you liked the first Goat Simulator, Goat Simulator 3 is an easy sell. And if you never played it, then strap yourself in for a crazy ride.”
The Multiverse of Nonsense expansion further enhanced the experience with its “new areas to explore, new challenges to complete, and new ways to cause mayhem.”
Goat Simulator 3 is available on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store, and Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. The Xbox Store links is here for you.
The free community update and the Hocus Pocus DLC pack will be available today. So grab your goat horns, prepare for some magical mayhem, and celebrate the anniversary of this hilarious sandbox adventure.
