Soon virtual national park rangers will pick up their new duties in Faremont National Park on March 10, 2026 - something that is eagerly awaited not only by players but also the teams behind Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator, astragon Entertainment and To-Go Games – part of GRIP Studios. And what better way to celebrate this than being a part of the IGN Fan Fest!
Andrej Vigdorovych, executive producer of Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator, gave viewers worldwide an exclusive insight into the fascinating wilderness of Faremont National Park and the varied, interesting gameplay that awaits players, once the game starts into Early Access on March 10, 2026 in the Official Developer Gameplay Overview trailer, which you can now find here:
From everyday tasks such as clearing trails, interacting with visitors and repairing damaged objects, frequently interspaced by optional radio callouts for spontaneous operations, to multi-faceted main missions such as relocating a bee hive or finding a missing VIP, players will be busy and entertained – all while exploring Faremont National Park, a vast handcrafted landscape of impressive beauty inspired by real US national parks.
As they move through the park, players will not only discover natural landmarks like lakes, caves and waterfalls, but also observe wildlife in its natural habitat such as rabbits, racoons, deer, eagles and even imposing bears. Taking photographs of landmarks, animals and a wide range of plants unlocks lexicon entries and adds new exhibits to the park’s very own museum.
During Early Access nature lovers can look forward to new tools, features and content added over time.
