Goat Simulator 1.1 will be released for free in mid-May, promising a host of new content, developer Coffee Stain Studios has announced.

1.1 will include a new playable map roughly the size of the map which launched with the game, new playable goats, local split-screen multiplayer, achievements and more.

"A lot of people have been asking for DLC with new maps for Goat Simulator, but we would feel bad charging people for DLC content when people can just download new stuff for free from the Steam Workshop, so we decided to do a free update instead," commented goat simulator creator Armin Ibrisagic.

Whilst a mid-May release is the target, Coffee Stain asks fans to remain calm if the patch ends up taking a little big longer.
