Bristol, UK and London, UK (June 24, 2025) – Outright Games, the leading publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, is excited to announce that they are working with Aardman, the multi-award-winning independent animation studio behind Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, to release the upcoming action-stealth video game Chicken Run: Eggstraction. Based on the 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.
Watch the trailer.
Chicken Run: Eggstraction 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! 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!
Sean Clarke, Managing Director at Aardman says, "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."
"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" said Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games. "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 available this autumn on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. For more information, please visit OutrightGames.com.
