Professional Lumberjack 2016 skips and jumps onto console in November

Lumberjack song

Oh to be a lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia! The giant Redwood! The Larch! The small Scotspine! The smell of fresh-cut timber, the crash of tress, with my best girly by my side! We’d sing, sing, sing! I’M A LUMBERJACK AND THAT’S OK!

Yes sir, a lumberjack game is indeed on the way. With the barrel still full of ideas, you can prepare yourself for…a lumberjack simulator. And no, it’s not a solo mode ripped straight from a WWE match that includes a dozen man-mountains beating on one guy as if he were of the wrong sexual orientation in a seedy  Russian alleyway filled with bigoted jerkasses.

Professional Lumberjack 2016 is the name of the game, and will be published by Bandai Namco on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3 and Wii U this November.

“In Professional Lumberjack 2016 players manage their mighty crew of cutters, create a prosperous sawmill and expand their woodland business in a realistic world ruled by the different seasons,” the press release blurb read, while also adding that: “A great lumberjack knows their Bigtooth Aspen from a Slippery Elm.

To get the job done, players must understand each tree and identify the right tool in order to gain the greatest return on their hard work in the most efficient way possible.

Other features included in the game, which I have just made up, include:

Lumberjack (2)Lumberjack (2)

  • Sleep all night, work all day action
  • Intense buttered scones for tea action on Wednesdays
  • Skip and jump QTEs
  • Wild-flower pressing mini-games
  • Customise your lumberjack with women’s clothing, hang around in bars
  • High heels, suspendies and a bra DLC confirmed
  • I wish I’d been a girlie just like my dear mama challenge map included

Always remember: Once you go lumberjack, you never go lumberback.

            Your wife chops the braai wood? That’s why I stick to charcoal these days, easier. 😉

      *Uses plastic axe against a tree* Not very effective *Uses plastic axe against morning wood* Super Effective.

    I love how the game is titled “Professional Lumberjack”, I suppose the novice version is where the trees fall on top of you?

        “username” used axe on tree – it was super effective
        Tree used fall on “username” – it was even more effective

      In Farming Sim 15 you’re just doing it for some extra cash. In this one you leave your farm completely and go pro on Lumber. You might have a small garden to tend as well…. as an amateur farmer.
