This news highlights a new collaboration between two creative teams, combining the efforts of a well-known animation studio with a family-friendly games publisher. The partnership promises an entertaining adventure that builds on the beloved Chicken Run universe.

The studio behind several anticipated projects—including a forthcoming Shaun the Sheep film scheduled for 2026 and an awaited Pokémon project set to arrive in 2027—is now joining forces with Outright to bring a new title to life. This effort expands their impressive slate and deepens their presence in animation and gaming.

The upcoming title, Chicken Run: Eggstraction, is designed as a top-down heist game that continues the story following the events of the Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget film, which made its debut in 2023. The game features a host of familiar characters who must collaborate to breach secured farms and free the captive fowls, all while navigating various security protocols and hazards.

Key features of the adventure include:

  • Official voice performances by returning talents such as Bella Ramsey as Molly and Josie Sedgwick-Davies as Frizzle.
  • A storyline penned by Larry Rickard, a contributor to the previous film project.
  • The introduction of new adversaries and even a surprise cameo linked to the latest installment of a famous animated series.

The game challenges players to assume control of the characters from Chicken Run and take on missions that involve infiltrating five secured farms to liberate the imprisoned chickens. With numerous clever security measures in place—from vigilant cameras and sharp-eyed humans to hiding tactics involving everyday objects—the gameplay demands stealth, well-honed skills, and strategic planning. In addition, the option for local co-op, accommodating up to two players, allows for the adventure to be tackled solo or with a friend.

Accessible across numerous systems, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, this engaging heist adventure is set to launch later this autumn, with an exact release date yet to be announced.
