    Eventually, after 2 days and 16 tournament hours Trelleborg won their final match with New Holland second and Valtra in third place.

    “It’s been a blast – the only on-site event in this season was a worthy setting for this World Championship”, summarizes Claas Eilermann, Event & Esports Manager at GIANTS Software. “Congratulations to team Trelleborg for a well-deserved win! Thanks again to all attendees, sponsors and partners for this exciting conclusion of Season 4.”

    December 7th, 2021
    The world has a defending champion of virtual farming: Publisher and developer GIANTS Software announces Trelleborg as the winner of the Farming Simulator League World Championship. Eight teams competed for a prize pool consisting of 100,000 Euros on Sunday, 5th December, which concluded season three of the Farming Simulator League (FSL).

    Thrilling finale of the season

    The setup for the finals already promised a nail-biting finale: Trelleborg was the title contender of the season – with two newcomers, Valtra and Corteva Agriscience, close to their backs.

    To Trelleborg's advantage, Corteva Agriscience and Valtra met directly in the first match. A surprise was provided by the wild card team LSA E-Sports, which made it to the final match without a sponsor and as another new team in the FSL. In the decisive match, Trelleborg prevailed after three rounds of victories and can now call itself World Champion.

    “We are proud to have defended the title of World Champion!” said Lukas Thiemann (aka Wühler), team captain of Trelleborg. “Since the preliminary round, we have not lost a match, no matter how tough our opponents were. We gave our best and were finally rewarded with a winning streak of 11 wins and can now call ourselves the World Champion of the Farming Simulator League.”

    The FSL will continue! “We congratulate team Trelleborg for this well-deserved victory and the hard-earned trophy. We saw some outstanding strategy and teamwork in the World Finals”, comments Claas Eilermann, Esports Manager at GIANTS Software after the winning team was awarded for their performance. In Season 3, Trelleborg earned 61,300 Euros as part of the overall prize pool.

    “It’s hard to believe where the FSL went from the early tournaments up to crowning the victor of this spectacular third season, which has been successfully established in the world of esports”, continues Eilermann. “We are looking forward to the next season, which will be even more exciting!”

    Free esports DLC available

    The free to download Tournament Client for Season 3 invites every Farming Simulator fan and esports enthusiast to register and compete. The esports game mode requires teamwork to expertly harvest wheat, produce bales and quickly deliver them to a barn. A training mode for newcomers is included.

Developer and publisher GIANTS Software introduces the most extensive agricultural simulation to date, including a multitude of new features. From production chains forming agricultural empires, to crossplay multiplayer. The accompanying Launch Trailer tells the emotional story of an aspiring new farmer.

    Farms are growing bigger - just like the series

    Farming Simulator 22 enhances the farming experience on every level: Seasonal farming adds (snowy) challenges, production chains more depth, new ground working mechanics more agricultural diversity, and an improved sound design more immersion.

    A brand-new build mode and character creation tool promote creativity and player freedom on three distinct maps, inspired by southern France, the US-Midwest and the European Alpine region. All types of farmers will find the perfect landscape to build their farm and dive into agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. It is their choice whether they focus on the large variety of crops or tend to cows, sheep, chicken, pigs, and horses - even bees. Thanks to cross-platform multiplayer, it’s also easier than ever to cooperate.

    With over 400 authentically digitized vehicles and tools from brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra and many more, the fleet of agricultural machinery grows, too. New machine categories allow farmers to create lush vineyards and olive orchards. Grapes, olives and sorghum are added to the range of crops.

    Cultivated, fertilized, and now self-published

    Christian Ammann, CEO of GIANTS Software, proudly comments: “It’s an amazing accomplishment that marks a striking milestone on multiple layers of the company’s history: Farming Simulator 22 is our first and globally self-published title, it’s the most extensive entry of the series to date, and it’s the result of our huge ambitions that will nourish our plans to realize even more potential in the future. It’s not just a milestone, it’s a stepping stone, as well.”

    GIANTS Software also improved the foundation: On the technical side, the new GIANTS Engine 9 features DirectX 12, NVIDIA DLSS support, texture streaming and a lot more to optimize graphics and performance on all platforms. The official mod support, for PC and consoles, is also guaranteed. Just like with previous versions, the developers themselves test user content to publish their creations for free on the in-game ModHub.

    Farming Simulator 22 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Stadia.

    FarmCon 20 switches from the event location at the DEUTZ-FAHR Arena to an open Live Stream. GIANTS Software has decided to go digital with this year’s FarmCon to ensure the safety of fans, partners and employees amidst the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

    Sold tickets will be refunded and the program will be translated to a format suitable for streaming. FarmCon at DEUTZ-FAHR is still planned for next year like initially planned. This year, fans around the globe can expect an open Live Stream on Sunday, July 19th instead. The Farming Simulator League finals will be delayed - more info coming soon.

    GIANTS Software is working hard to compose a program consisting of live moderation, pre-recorded presentations with English subtitles where needed, as well as a teaser of the all new DLC for Farming Simulator 19 coming later this year. More information will soon be published on farming-simulator.com/farmcon.
