Farming Simulator 25 Highlands Fishing Expansion Revealed – Available November 4th!
Giants Software has revealed details on the first major update for Farming Simulator 25, the Highlands Fishing expansion. This follows last month’s confirmation of the game’s arrival on Nintendo Switch 2. The Highlands Fishing expansion will officially release as a bundle or individually starting November 4th for PC and consoles. Beyond this expansion, the studio has also provided updates on Precision Farming 3.0 and other significant developments for the franchise.
The Highlands Fishing expansion introduces Kinlaig, a new map inspired by Scottish landscapes, featuring rocky valleys, authentic stone castles, and expansive open skies dotted with thick grass. Giants Software states that Kinlaig is a place where players can build farms, raise livestock, and now, fish on the water. Aquaculture is a major new feature, allowing Farming Simulator 25 players to breed and harvest fish such as salmon and trout using land-based reservoirs and seagoing boats. Developers note that fishing offers a tranquil new rhythm for gameplay. Beyond fishing, Highlands Fishing introduces onions as a new crop and Highland livestock as a new animal type. The expansion also adds over 20 new machines from manufacturers including Monosem, Canam, Agrispread, and GT Bunning. Giants Software assures that whether players are casting nets or planting onions, this extension deepens the agricultural experience in exciting new directions. For players eager to dive in, pre-orders are now available for the Farming Simulator 25: Highlands Fishing Edition, which includes both the main game and the expansion.
