Demo Chicken Run: Eggstraction on Steam ahead of October release

Aardman and Outright Games have today announced the official launch date for their new game Chicken Run: Eggstraction alongside a limited-time demo.

Revealed in a brand-new trailer that catapults the beloved chickens into their next heist, Chicken Run: Eggstraction will launch on October 24 and is now available to preview on Steam until 13:00 UTC, August 18.

For a limited time only, players can take control of their favourite characters and attempt daring infiltrations across 6 levels in this exclusive demo. Expect high-stakes stealth action, dodge security cameras, outwit guards, and don chicken disguises, in a mission that demands strategy, timing, and a touch of poultry-powered courage. Play solo or team up with a friend in two-player local co-op, using stealth and special skills to save the day!

Following on from Aardman’s hit 2023 film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Chicken Run: Eggstraction raises the stakes and sends feathers flying with voices from Bella Ramsey, Josie Sedgwick-Davies, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Romesh Ranganathan and more! The story, penned by celebrated writer Larry Rickard (Ghosts, Horrible Histories), continues as the brave band of chickens sets out to rescue their fellow fowl from the clutches of the sinister nugget industry.

“We’re excited to finally reveal the October 24 release date for Chicken Run: Eggstraction with our fans around the world,” commented Sean Clarke, Managing Director at Aardman. “This game has been a wonderful opportunity to expand the Chicken Run universe, and, together with Outright Games we’re releasing an experience that stays true to the heart and humour of the original Chicken Run film, whilst welcoming new fans to the flock.”

Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games, added, “Chicken Run: Eggstraction is a true celebration of everything fans love about Aardman, humour, heart, and high-stakes hijinks. We’re thrilled to share this first look at the game on Steam and can’t wait for fans to experience an unforgettable heist that will truly ruffle some feathers!”
