Farming Simulator 17 is aangekondigd door Giants Software en Focus Home Interactive. De game verschijnt eind dit jaar voor Xbox One, PS4 en PC.

Focus Home Interactive laat weten dat later op een persevenement meer info over de game wordt bekendgemaakt.

Thomas Frey, vice president van Giants Software laat het volgende in het persbericht weten:

”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 van Focus Home Interactive, zei het volgende over de franchise:

”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.”

De eerste Farming Simulator game verscheen in 2008 en kreeg daarna zes vervolgen, waarvan het laatste deel, Farming Simulator 15, vorig jaar verscheen.
