I am not totally certain of the cultural relevancy of Rooster Run, even when it did get a type of stylish legacy sequels again in 2023, and but right here we’re with the reveal of a whole online game. The identify of stated recreation is Rooster Run: Eggstractionand fairly fittingly it’s an motion stealth recreation, one which may even look fairly good?
It actually matches the look of the movies for starters, although that is not a lot of a shock provided that Aardman themselves are making it, with Outright Video games on publishing duties. Evidently Aardman have additionally made some new bits of stop-motion animation only for the sport too, and it seems pretty much as good because it at all times does, to nobody’s shock.
The sport can also be a sequel to that aforementioned legacy sequel, Rooster Run: Daybreak of the Nugget, with Frizzle taking the lead this time. Josie Sedgwick-Davies is again as Frizzle, with Recreation of Thrones‘ Bella Ramsey returning as Molly (the chick of the unique movie’s protagonists Ginger and Rocky) too.
How about gameplay? Effectively, this time round you will be getting down to rescue chickens from the nugget trade, so missions see you embarking with totally different characters from the flicks all with their very own talents. Ranges see you having to do traditional stealth recreation issues like avoiding safety cameras by hiding in visitors cones, and fixing puzzles and the like. You will additionally should information the chickens you are rescuing Pikmin type all through the degrees, so it is simply as a lot about infiltration as it’s exfiltration (or eggsfiltration, I suppose). Oh, and you may play it in co-op too!
I fairly like the concept of one thing vaguely like Pikmin meets Steel Gear Stable meets XCOM (particularly the squad forming bit), it simply seems like a foolish good time. A lightweight little bit of Untitled Goose Recreation power about it too. No precise launch date for it simply but, however you possibly can wishlist it on Steam within the meantime.
