Zurich, Switzerland - 20th August 2025. At gamescom, enthusiasts of agriculture and aquafarming can dive into the rugged beauty of the Highlands: Publisher and developer GIANTS Software brings a playable version of the Highlands Fishing expansion for Farming Simulator 25.

Preview Presents New Features
Highlands Fishing introduces Kinlaig, a new map defined by rocky valleys, rough grass, and highland cattle beneath sweeping overcast skies. This wind-bitten, history-rich region blends traditional farming with aquaculture, while the authentic architecture sets the scene for new activities, including breeding, raising, and harvesting fish alongside the introduction of onions as a new crop. The equipment roster expands with machinery from Monosem, Can-Am, Agri-Spread, and GT Bunning, adding further depth to both land and sea operations.
