Billy Goats Gruff! Goat Simulator has a release date

Ohhh, we're half-way there...

And then my heart stopped - Goat Simulator has a release date! 1st April, appropriately enough.

Under the weight of internet popularity, Swedish developer Coffee Stain Studios was forced to turn a videoed prototype of the game - which features a goat hilariously wrecking things - into an actual game.

"OKAY INTERNET YOU WIN, IT LOOKS LIKE GOAT SIMULATOR IS OUR NEXT IP," capitulated the developer at the time.

Steam Workshop support will be present in the full game so you can make "your own goats, missions, levels and more".

Goat Simulator will cost $9.99. Pre-order it from Coffee Stain Studios' website for three days early access.
