Squirrel With A Gun puts a console release date in the pistol alongside the PC bullets it already has, and I’m very excited about it.

If you’ve used social media or played video games in the past few years, you’ve likely seen or heard of: squirrel with a gun. It’s a game where you play as a squirrel with a gun, and its console release date was just revealed, with a PC release date confirmed for next week (check your watch).

In fact, we reported on Squirrel With A Gun, which was a short clip of a squirrel shooting a gun, and it was set in one of the early game development environments, and everyone was like, ‘Whoa, that looks fun.’ It’s one of those things now, and it’s out there, but we don’t know yet if it’ll have the depth or staying power of something like Goat Simulator.

Anyway, the game, which already has a confirmed August 29th PC release date, was teased in that video thanks to developer Dee Dee Creations and publisher Maximum Entertainment, and now has a proper console release date: it’s coming to Xbox Series X/S and PS5 on October 15th of this year, as revealed in a new trailer, which you can watch below.

Also, I hope this helps you get an idea of ​​what you’ll actually do in Squirrel with a Gun, beyond the general “squirrel with a gun” thing. Of course, that’s part of the game. It would be weird if you sold a game with the idea of ​​a squirrel with a gun, and then two minutes later it turned out to be Burnout Paradise 2 or something. That particular game could also get you in legal trouble.

Honestly, after seeing the game and hearing director Dan DeEntremont explain a bit more about what you’re actually doing in a game he describes as a “sandbox shooter/puzzle platformer,” I get a big goth sim vibe from it. The platforming looks a little different, especially with the way you use your guns integrated, but the whole sandbox of running around town, finding little activities, and choosing whether to help or mess with a bunch of human NPCs (probably both) makes the bunch who think you’re a dumb animal feel very Philgor-y, and I say that as someone who likes some goth sims.
