Aardman Hatches Steam Demo for ‘Chicken Run: Eggstraction’ Ahead of October Launch

Leading family-friendly interactive entertainment publisher Outright Games and Aardman, the multi-award-winning independent animation studio behind Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, today announced the official launch date for their new game Chicken Run: Eggstraction alongside a limited-time demo. Revealed in a brand-new trailer that catapults the beloved chickens into their next heist, the game will launch on October 24 and is now available to preview on Steam until 13:00 UTC, August 18.

“We’re excited to finally reveal the October 24 release date for Chicken Run: Eggstraction with our fans around the world,” said Sean Clarke, Managing Director at Aardman. “This game has been a wonderful opportunity to expand the Chicken Run universe, and, together with Outright Games we’re releasing an experience that stays true to the heart and humor of the original Chicken Run film, whilst welcoming new fans to the flock.”

For a limited time only, players can take control of their favourite characters and attempt daring infiltrations across six levels in this exclusive demo. Expect high-stakes stealth action, dodge security cameras, outwit guards, and don chicken disguises, in a mission that demands strategy, timing, and a touch of poultry-powered courage. Play solo or team up with a friend in two-player local co-op, using stealth and special skills to save the day!

Following on from Aardman’s hit 2023 film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Chicken Run: Eggstraction raises the stakes and sends feathers flying with voices from Bella Ramsey, Josie Sedgwick-Davies, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Romesh Ranganathan and others. The story, penned by Larry Rickard (Ghosts, Horrible Histories), continues as the brave band of chickens sets out to rescue their fellow fowl from the clutches of the sinister nugget industry.

“Chicken Run: Eggstraction is a true celebration of everything fans love about Aardman: humor, heart and high-stakes hijinks,” said Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games. “We’re thrilled to share this first look at the game on Steam and can’t wait for fans to experience an unforgettable heist that will truly ruffle some feathers!”

Experience the first six levels of Chicken Run: Eggstraction now until August 18, exclusively on Steam. The game will launch officially on October 24 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store.
