Outright Games, a publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, is working with animation studio Aardman on the game Chicken Run: Eggstraction.
Based on Aardman’s iconic Chicken Run franchise, this top-down, heist game picks up where Aardman’s 2023 film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget left off, as the gang works together to save chicken-kind. Chicken Run: Eggstraction will launch this autumn, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Microsoft Store.
Chicken Run: Eggstraction is an action-stealth game that follows the film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, with an exciting new story that continues the adventures of its feathered heroes as they work to save chickens from the evil nugget industry, where chicken-kind is still in danger. Aardman is known for animated series like Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit.
Chicken Run: Eggstraction comes after Dawn of the Nugget.
Take control of the Chicken Run characters, and embark on a mission to infiltrate five fortified farms and liberate the captive chickens. But beware, there are plenty of eggstra security measures in place that players will need to overcome to lead these fowl to freedom. From avoiding watchful security cameras and hawkeyed humans to hiding in traffic cones, players will be tested on their stealth, skills and strategy.
Equipped for up to two players in local co-op, players can tackle this high-octane adventure alone, or team up with a friend to hatch a plan for success.
Reprising their roles from Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Bella Ramsey and Josie Sedgwick-Davies return to voice Molly and Frizzle in Chicken Run: Eggstraction. Written by Larry Rickard, one of Dawn of the Nugget’s contributors, players will discover new loopy poultry villains, along with a surprise cameo from the latest Wallace & Gromit film to spot.
Building on the success from Dawn of the Nugget, which garnered millions of views and hit the Global Top 10, Chicken Run: Eggstraction gives fans and families a captivating new story and exciting gameplay, all bound to ruffle some feathers.
Chicken Run: Eggstraction is coming this fall.
Sean Clarke, managing director at Aardman, said in a statement, “We are delighted to be working with Outright Games to bring a new Chicken Run adventure to the gaming community. Developing a game of this scale has been an exciting endeavour and has been a fantastic opportunity to expand the Chicken Run universe and continue building the brand in new and engaging ways for fans old and new.”
