Squirrel With A Gun has now loaded a console release date into its pistol alongside the PC bullet it already had, and my hands are very much up

If you’ve been on social media over the past couple of years and are into the video game, odds are you’ve seen or heard of Squirrel with a Gun. It’s a game in which you play as a Squirrel with a gun, and it’s just had a console release date revealed to go alongside the PC one that’s locked in for (checks watch) next week.

We actually reported on Squirrel With A Gun back when it was just short clips of a squirrel firing a gun against the backdrop of one of those early game development non-environments, and everyone was going ‘phwoar, that looks like it’d be a fun game’. It now is one, and it’s coming out, though it remains to be seen if it’ll have the depth or staying power of something like Goat Simulator.

Anyway, having already been slapped with a PC release date of August 29, the game that’s emerged from those videos thanks to developer Dee Dee Creations and publisher Maximum Entertainment, the game’s now got a proper console one. It’ll be hitting Xbox Series X/S and PS5 on October 15 this year, as revealed in the fresh trailer you can watch below.
