Weather and Natural Disasters
One of the most dramatic new features shown in the trailer is the inclusion of tornadoes as a devastating natural disaster. Sequences showing a tornado ripping through farmland, breaking trees and destroying crops bring a new level of challenge and realism to the game. In addition, noteworthy are the improved rain effects, with water droplets collecting on vehicle surfaces and windshields, directly impacting farming operations by causing combines to stop working during downpours.
Map and Environment
The new map, Riverbend Springs, set in the US state of Arkansas, is clearly visible in the trailer. The landscape is rich in fields, forests and rural elements, enhanced by realistic environmental details such as ferry crossings that have specific operating hours and weather restrictions. The map’s varied terrain promises an immersive and dynamic farming experience.
Animal Animations
Animal lovers will appreciate the introduction of baby animals, including cows, piglets and the long-awaited goats. The trailer demonstrates more realistic and reactive animal behaviour, adding depth to the farming aspects of the game.
