When we decided to self-publish Farming Simulator in 2021, we made no secret of the fact that we were looking for external titles that fit our vision. In Straight4 Studios we found the ideal candidate: a studio that, like us, wants to develop world-class simulations, and a new project from a top-class studio that would enrich our publishing portfolio.
Kevin Boland, CDO at Straight4, emphasized the shared values and goals of the two companies:
Straight4 and GIANTS both have deep roots in simulation and high production values. Entering the specialized and technically demanding sim racing arena with Project Motor Racing is a testament to the versatility of the GIANTS engine. We are sure that both Farming Simulator fans and sim racers will benefit from this partnership.
Ian Bell, CEO of Straight4 Studios, further explained the importance of this collaboration:
When developing a new generation of racing simulation games, we have to solve some difficult questions. The most important is how to balance our state-of-the-art physics engine with the graphical fidelity that our fans demand from us. With the GIANTS Engine, we have found the solution: a game engine that allows us to build a beautiful simulator while ensuring that the frame rate does not suffer.
Project Motor Racing is being developed for both PC and console platforms and is scheduled for release in 2025.
