After 2 years of development and 1 year in Early Access, Shotgun Farmers has officially released on Steam today! This comes with a new update, including a new map, a new gun, and new cosmetics that you can only unlock during the Launch Week Event!
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped Shotgun Farmers grow and shaped it into the game that it is today!
If you’re wondering, will there be more updates soon? The answer is YES of course! I’ve got more content planned so you can expect FREE updates coming to the full version of Shotgun Farmers!
Make sure you join the Discord to help me come up with new ideas to add to the game!
The full release of Shotgun Farmers will contain brand new content, such as the new map Oceanside, the new WatermeLMG gun, the new Cocussion Grenade, and lots of new cosmetics!
Early access players will not need to purchase the game again. It will update in your Steam library on the day of release – you don’t need to do anything else! Make sure to tune in to our Launch Day Live Stream Party right here on Steam! More details to follow in the Discord!
You can still grab Shotgun Farmers in Early Access and be part of the original community!
Shotgun Farmers will be leaving Early Access in March! NEXT MONTH! That means you can expect a brand new map and even more cosmetics in only a few weeks!
For now though, it's time to start using emotes!
This update comes with lots of bug fixes and some new changes to the existing maps, so check them out and let me know what you think!

As 2018 comes to end I wanted to give you one more update! The maps have been covered in snow, a new limited time game mode has appeared, and for the first time ever you can change the outfit that your farmer wears!
There is even more content coming to Shotgun Farmers in 2019, so stay tuned!

I simply cannot believe it's already been 1 year since Shotgun Farmers came out on Early Access. I'd like to give my sincerest thanks to each and every one of you that has supported the game so far, helped us find bugs, helped come up with funny new ideas, and helped to share the game with the world.
If you play this week you'll be able to unlock the exclusive Anniversary badge, hat, and shovel skin! You won't be able to unlock them after June 10th.
We're not done yet! There's still plenty more content coming to Shotgun Farmers. Remember that you can help us decide on new things over at the Shotgun Farmers Discord
