Farming Simulator 2017 has been announced today, in a joint press release sent out by Focus Home Interactive and Giants Software. The game will be launched simultaneously on PC & consoles (most probably PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) in late 2016.

　　Farming Simulator 2017 will be first introduced to the press during the What's Next of Focus Home Interactive press event organized in Paris, where journalists across the world will discover all upcoming titles released by Focus. There, they'll also be able to meet the developers of Farming Simulator 17 and discover some of the brand new features added to Giants Software's upcoming title.

　　In the meantime, two statements have been shared by each company. Thomas Frey - Vice-President of Giants Software - said:

　　It's been a pleasure working with Focus throughout all these years. This partnership is the water on the seed that made Farming Simulator grow into the global phenomenon it is today. Each time we release a new version together we reach more people, and we look forward to expanding this reach even further in the coming years.

　　Cédric Lagarrigue - President of Focus Home Interactive - added:

　　Farming Simulator is a one of a kind story in the video game industry. Years ago, we imagined a unique destiny for this game and Giants Software, their creators. It is with great satisfaction that we succeed in reaching all of our objectives. There are still a lot of beautiful pages to write for Farming Simulator, and it starts right now with the simultaneous release of the game on PC and consoles at the end of the year.
