Today at the PC Gaming Show, the unconventional farming game Southfield received a brand new trailer along with a launch date set for 24 June.

Departing from the typical farming simulator formula, Southfield introduces a quirky world where players control a blob-like character with only eyes and a sprout on their head. While farming and resource management are central, what sets Southfield apart are the unpredictable effects of the crops you cultivate.

In Southfield, crops don’t just yield profits or consumables; they can explode, sing, bounce, or change shape, adding an element of surprise to the gameplay. Players can experiment with cross-breeding to create unique plant hybrids, documented in the Almanac, a repository of their agricultural experiments.

Beyond farming, players can construct bases and gadgets to enhance their farming endeavours, including unconventional additions like life-size pinball machines. Progression in Southfield is tied to learning and implementing new technologies, offering a sense of accomplishment beyond the confines of a traditional farming game.

Compared to other farming sims, Southfield’s blend of unpredictability and creativity promises an immersive experience that can easily devour hours of gameplay without players even realising it. Scheduled for release later this month on Steam, it’s poised to offer a fresh take on the farming genre, enticing players with its charm and innovation.
