Farming Simulator 22 is about to welcome another big industry-leader to its ensemble of renowned brands: Volvo! Today, we proudly announce a partnership for a future project between us at GIANTS Software and the Swedish multinational manufacturing corporation.
Look Forward To An Exciting Project!
As you can see, the teaser video shows the new Volvo L200H High Lift wheel loader, manufactured by Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE). The wheel loader, just recently unveiled to the world, is characterized by the greatly increased lifting capacity and added power compared to its predecessor, the Volvo L180H – market-leading in the logging industry.

Kubota is finally entering the Farming Simulator universe! When we released our little teaser last week, a lot of you guessed the right brand (although the derivation was mostly a bit too creative - more on that below).
The upcoming extension, included in the Year 1 Season Pass, for Farming Simulator 22 is actually the Kubota Pack! Eleven new machines and tools as well as a new feature for multiplayer fans are included. It's coming June 28th for PC and consoles. Pre-order now! In selected regions, a boxed PC version will be available - check with your local retailer!
Included in the pack is the Kubota M8, the largest tractor of the multinational corporation Kubota that originated in Osaka, Japan, over 130 years ago. Also included are the M5, M6, and M7 series as well as a wheel loader, a skid-steer loader, and other heavy machinery by Kubota, to handle day-to-day farming tasks like loading and transporting goods with modern, versatile and powerful tools.
Two UTVs like the popular “Sidekick”, can quickly deliver products. Or even your friends! Up to four people can ride in the Kubota RTV-X1140 - with three players in the passenger seats of the utility vehicle. Fans of the brand who want to show off their affiliation can also find new, company-branded Kubota clothes in the virtual wardrobe.

This was easy, wasn't it? Although most of you got it right, we saw a lot of grasping at straws and making connections that were coincidences at best. So, pack away your whiteboard full of screenshots and red strings - since it did, in fact, seem to drive you crazy...
The pixelated tractor was, of course, the Kubota M8.
The tractor being an "office" is a spin on Kubotas product description of the M8.
The Kubota slogan "For earth, for life" is in there.
You can see more wire-framed vehicles and tools in the video.
The binary code says "t-7", a countdown leading up to the announcement.
The riddle (using Caesar's cipher") says "a circle with many centers and no circumference" - in reference to a short novel by a renowned Japanese author. It's not an intentional reference to any logo or mathematical problem.
But, we bet, you can't crack that code hinting at the next pack:

A soil map with special filters shows you the current state of your soil, and every action you take is reflected on the economic analysis overview.
