Outright Games and Aardman have teamed up for the upcoming action-stealth video game Chicken Run: Eggstraction, which is coming to Nintendo Switch.
Following on from Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, the movie’s feathered heroes continue their adventures as they work to save chicken-kind from the evil nugget industry.
You will set out on a mission to infiltrate five fortified farms and liberate the captive chickens, being mindful of the “eggstra” security measures that have been put in place that you will need to overcome.
From watchful security cameras and hawkeyed humans to hiding in traffic cones, your stealth, skills and strategy will be tested – whether choosing to play solo or in local co-op multiplayer for up to two players.
Written by Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget contributor Larry Rickard, Bella Ramsey and Josie Sedgwick-Davies return to reprise their roles as Molly and Frizzle, and you can expect new loopy poultry villains and a “surprise cameo” from Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
“We are delighted to be working with Outright Games to bring a new Chicken Run adventure to the gaming community,” enthuses Aardman managing director Sean Clarke. “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.”
Outright Games managing director Stephanie Malham adds: “We’re incredibly excited to be working with Aardman on the release of Chicken Run: Eggstraction, and the first Chicken Run video game in 25 years. Aardman’s style is so distinct, and it’s been amazing to see how they’ve adapted it for a video game. We cannot wait for fans of all ages to explore this new chapter in the Chicken Run story, and to see how they can wing it through the chaos that awaits them.”
Chicken Run: Eggstraction will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in Autumn 2025.
