'Goat Simulator' Launching on Xbox One and Xbox 360 in April
Microsoft has announced the action game "Goat Simulator" will make its debut on Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles next month.
Coffee Stain Studio's child-friendly action game, "Goat Simulator" will be launched for Xbox One and Xbox 360 this April. Microsoft originally made the announcement at Gamescom in August last year for fans of the game to prepare for its console debut.
"Goat Simulator," a third person action game initially released on Steam in April 2014, and made available for Mac and Linux two months later, features a realistic player-controlled goat, exploring an open-world map and causing as much damage as possible by jumping, running, licking, dragging, and bashing objects using its horns, hooves, tongue, and other parts of its body.
The game also features the goat bouncing on trampolines, or leaping through the air powered by large fans. Players earn points depending on the complexity of the tricks they can make the goat perform and achieving the goal of destroying certain objects.
Originally developed to be a joke prototype during a game developer gathering and shown on YouTube in its alpha phase, the game received a considerable amount of attention, leading to its development from a demo to a releasable title with both retail and mobile versions, as well as a series of DLC updates and a free expansion.
The physical sandbox comedy game is rumored to include a free parody update for 'World of Warcraft' when it arrives on Xbox One and Xbox 360 next month.
According to Eurogamer's Dan Whitehead, "Goat Simulator" may appear "rough around the edges," but can bring amusement to players looking for physical comedy.
