Fortnite players aren't too happy about this year's Star Wars event, as they think that there's not enough content added to the Battle Royale mode compared to how much has been put into Lego Fortnite.
Squirrel with a Gun Might Be This Year's Cuphead or Untitled Goose Game Next
25.04.2024 - 17:53 / ign.com / Ryan Maccaffrey
Squirrel with a Gun has been in the public consciousness for a while, but the unique shooter is peaking at the right time. Its release window has been announced for this Fall (for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation), and the quirky Unreal Engine 5 game has been capturing the hearts and minds of the IGN audience.
Need some context for that? We've got you covered:
It's these kinds of numbers on IGN that preceded previous breakout indie games like Cuphead and the similarly animal-inspired Untitled Goose Game before they launched into the stratosphere, and why we think the same is likely to happen for Squirrel with a Gun when it comes out later this year. But in case you need a refresher (or, well, a deeper dive than what the title of the game already spells out pretty clearly), Squirrel with a Gun is being developed by Dan DeEntremont and showcases the titular squirrel running through a town with normal-sized guns chasing unsuspecting people and taking down Agents using various weapons. As the neighborhood’s most obnoxious rodent, you'll develop a knack (and a love?) for crime and mayhem in pursuit of golden acorns in this nutty sandbox shooter and puzzle platformer.
If it's anything as innocently unhinged as it sounds, we're all in for a treat. For more on Squirrel with a Gun, read up on how it's inspired by Yakuza and Shadow of the Colossus. And if all of this sounds like it's up your alley, you can wishlist Squirrel with a Gun on Steam.

This will be the studio's next original game, after they wrapped up Layers Of Fear last year with, confusingly, Layers Of Fear (the natural progression for a series: Layers Of Fear, Layers Of Fear 2, and then Layers Of Fear again, although it was going to be called Layers Of Fears at one point).
