Huge free content patch 1.1 for Goat Simulator is coming on June 3rd!

May 20th, Skövde, Sweden. Last month Coffee Stain Studios announced the 1.1 patch for Goat Simulator, which will add local splitscreen multiplayer and a whole new map to Goat Simulator. The release date for the patch has now been set: it’s coming on June 3rd!

Details:

Since the release of Goat Simulator, Coffee Stain Studios has received a lot of requests for DLCs. Being the bunch of crazy goats that they are, they decided to patch in free DLC into the game instead of selling it. Patch 1.1 will bring the following features:

• A whole new playable map, roughly the size of the old map
• Local splitscreen multiplayer, up to four goats can play on one machine at the same time!
• Goat wall-running and balancing on your front legs
• You will be able to ride bicycles and skateboards, and force humans to ride you.
• New playable goats, including Tornado Goat, Shopping Goat, Classy Goat, Repulsive Goat, and more!
• Optimization, achievements, and all kinds of other cool jazz.

“We realise we said we’d release the patch in May, but we really wanted to shock players and make sure the new map will be even better than the old one, so we had to push forth the release date a week or so than we originally intended. With June 3rd as a release date, the new map is gonna be so awesome, and I’m not just saying that cause I’m working on the game.”

About Coffee Stain Studios:

Coffee Stain Studios is the indie developer and publisher behind Sanctum and Sanctum 2, the tower defense/FPS hybrid games that have sold over 1.6 million copies in total. They are now transitioning their video game company into a free-range goat farm.

Leading Global Pro Gaming Championship to Premiere in Shenzhen, China

(Cologne, Germany) May 20, 2014 – ESL announced today that the Intel® Extreme Masters’ ninth season is to begin in China for the second consecutive year. Premiering in Shenzhen on July 16-21, the elite pro gaming tour will once again sweep the globe showcasing the best of competitive gaming.

Season 9’s first event in Shenzhen marks the fifth time that the Intel® Extreme Masters visits China, the previous stops taking place in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu in past seasons. The ‘Road to Shenzhen’ begins June 1st, with the extended qualifiers for the event.

An integral part of the Intel® Extreme Masters and a constant since Season 3, China has played host to some of the most impressive Intel® Extreme Masters events with over US$270,000 in prize money paid out in the region since 2009. The local community has been consistently eager to consume Intel® Extreme Masters tournaments: over 450,000 concurrent Chinese viewers tuned in to consume the Season 8’s League of Legends final in Katowice, Poland helping to break eSports records worldwide. Ahead of the upcoming season, Managing Director of Pro Gaming at ESL, Michal Blicharz, is eager to see records broken once again and explains the reasoning behind the Shenzhen event:

George Woo, Event & Sponsorship Programs Marketing Manager at Intel voiced his excitement ahead of the upcoming tournament series:

“Eight seasons long we’ve had one goal: to provide the best PC gaming technology to the best players from around the world. I couldn’t be happier to see this goal extending into the ninth season of the Intel Extreme Masters. I’m confident that with the things we have in store, it’ll be the best Intel Extreme Masters season yet!”

Intel® Extreme Masters Shenzhen will feature competition that will offer its participants a chance to qualify for the Intel® Extreme Masters World Championship in 2015.
