Frozen Way has announced their new farming sim game, called Farmatic, and it’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. This one isn’t just about planting carrots and feeding cows. It’s showing off a bunch of different mechanics like automation, fighting monsters, and even some sci-fi science thing. It’s expected sometime in 2026, though more exact date hasn’t been said yet.
The Usual Farm… Sort Of
At the start, players will be doing what farming games usually let you do – sow seeds, water plants, and raise animals. You slowly expand your land and gather different types of resources. But not everything is normal here. Some of the crops are mutated, which gives the farming part a slightly strange feeling, but you still can recognize the core gameplay fans love.
Machines Take Over
Later in the game, you don’t have to do every single job by hand anymore. You can build farm hubs and unlock helpful machines and robots that do the routine tasks for you. So then your farm begins feeling more like a system, not just a place to grow potatoes. Players who like planning and organizing probably enjoy this more than others.
Mines Below, Monsters Inside
Another important part is the mine under the land. It’s not peaceful there—there are mutated creatures inside. You’ll need to go underground to get rare resources and ores, and also protect yourself while doing that. The game mixes calm farming with exploration and light combat, which may not everyone expects in a farming game.
Weird Science and Village Stuff
One of the central themes is Rhemidium, a radioactive material that plays a big role in farming and experiments. A nearby scientist character gives you quests to research this thing, and it connects the farming to a more narrative and purposeful. Also, the village nearby is not just decoration. You can help townspeople, make decisions that affect the area, and get more story bits.
Co-Op Is a Big Deal
Farmatic isn’t just single-player. You can farm with friends—up to four at once—and it’s full cross-play between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. That means people on different systems can join the same farm and do activities together. That might make the game more fun or easier, depending on how you play.
What Makes It Special
There are a lot of farming games, but Farmatic adds more layers. It keeps things cozy, but then adds radiation, automated farming, sci-fi research, and even enemies. Compared to games like Stardew Valley, this one has more strange science and building mechanics, while still trying to be relaxing and community-based.
Future Things Coming
Developers said they’ll be sharing more info soon. They will probably explain how large the world is, what kind of story paths it has, and if modding support is included. Right now, the trailer gives a good first look, but there’s many details still unclear.
Conclusion
Farmatic looks like a farming sim that’s not trying to follow the usual path. It gives players freedom to automate, fight, and explore, while also offering standard farming joy. With co-op and cross-platform features, it might attract both sim players and fans of light action or story. Coming in 2026, this could be a unique mix of cozy and chaos.
