Ultimate Games, in partnership with development studio A2 Softworks, has officially revealed Ancient Farm, an upcoming farming simulator uniquely set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt.
Initially launching on PC next week, the developers have confirmed that Ancient Farm will also arrive on additional platforms, including the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, at a later date. Ancient Farm invites players into a tranquil, single-player farming experience that focuses on agricultural and animal care practices of ancient times.
Unlike contemporary farming games that often feature modern machinery and hi-tech tools, Ancient Farm emphasizes manual labor and resourcefulness.
The game positions players at the dawn of civilization, encouraging them to shape and expand a small, humble plot into a flourishing oasis by using period-accurate methods and traditional hand tools inspired by ancient Egyptian culture. According to A2 Softworks, Ancient Farm offers far more than straightforward crop cultivation.
Players are tasked with tending animals, foraging for wild resources, engaging in construction and crafting activities, as well as preparing food through cooking.
The developers stress that the gameplay includes seasonal cycles, shifting market conditions, and changing economic factors that require careful resource management and strategic reinvestment to grow the farm. "Ancient Farm challenges players to adapt to an evolving economy, utilize a wide variety of ancient tools, and immerse themselves in the daily rhythms of a long-lost era," said a representative from A2 Softworks in a rephrased statement.
The game enables players to experiment with diverse farming strategies, selecting from an extensive list of crops and livestock.
Plantable options include corn, flax, cotton, hemp, wheat, papyrus sedge, sugar cane, grapes, olive trees, and more.
For animal husbandry, the game features chickens, cows, sheep, and oxen, all essential to recreating the authentic experience of ancient farm life. Key features at launch will highlight the game’s atmospheric ancient setting, its relaxing and engaging farming mechanics, and a broad array of traditional tools and tasks.
The immersive gameplay, combined with first-person perspective, aims to deliver a meditative experience that stands apart from standard farming simulators available on platforms like the Nintendo eShop. Following its PC release, Ancient Farm will make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, opening the ancient Egyptian farming adventure to a wider console audience.
Both Ultimate Games and A2 Softworks have established track records for delivering engaging simulation experiences, further raising anticipation for Ancient Farm’s launch.
For dedicated followers of Nintendo Switch news and upcoming releases, Ancient Farm is poised to be a notable addition to the growing catalog of distinctive simulation titles on the platform.
