Family-friendly interactive entertainment publisher Outright Games and multi-award-winning independent animation studio Aardman, (Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit) have today announced that their new game Chicken Run: Eggstraction will be featured in Steam Next Fest this autumn, with new gameplay footage. Available to preview through Steam on October 13-20, ahead of the global game launch on October 24, the movie-inspired game is filled with puzzles to solve and feathers to ruffle!

“It’s an honor to be a part of Steam Next Fest this year,” commented Sean Clarke, Managing Director at Aardman. “We’ve long enjoyed bringing our storytelling and humor into the gaming space, and we’re thrilled to give fans a preview of our latest adventure, Chicken Run: Eggstraction, before launch.”

This October, fans of the franchise can get a sneak beak at the first six levels of Chicken Run: Eggstraction a week before launch. Step into the world of Frizzle, Molly, Fowler and more to explore their unique skills and leadership powers when they take charge. In this game demo, players will get the chance to test the two-player local co-op and explore high-security locations together. Camouflage the chickens with bushes, take daring rocket jumps and even hurl another member of their squad to sneak around and make their attack!

This fresh egg-sperience is a direct sequel to Aardman’s 2023 feature film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, available on Netflix. Film stars Bella Ramsey, Josie Sedgwick-Davies, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Romesh Ranganathan and more can be heard in the game. Chicken Run: Eggstraction is written by acclaimed screenwriter Larry Rickard (Ghosts, Horrible Histories).

“Chicken Run: Eggstraction is a completely new adventure for fans, filled with the same kinds of twists, turns and wit that make this franchise special,” said Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games. “We look forward to seeing fans get stuck in with our Steam Next Fest demo next month and reunite with Frizzle and the gang!”

Chicken Run: Eggstraction will be available to demo as part of Steam Next Fest on October 13-20. The full game will launch on October 24 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store.
