Grab your gear and get your feathers ruffled – Escape From Duckov officially launches on October 16 for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, plus Mac via the Mac App Store. Priced at $17.99/£17.99/€17.99, the indie extraction shooter will be waddling in with a 12% launch discount for the first two weeks.
Brought to life by Team Soda and published by BILIBILI GAME, Duckov proudly bills itself as “the cutest little extraction shooter”. Expect ducks with guns, swords, crossbows, and even portals. Because why not?
The Cutest Extraction Shooter Ever?
Unlike hardcore tactical shooters, Duckov swaps gritty realism for colourful chaos. You’ll battle cartoonish enemies in top-down PvE firefights, use fog-of-war mechanics to keep you guessing, and scoop up randomly dropped loot.
On top of that, there’s base-building, weapon customisation, and long-term progression systems to keep the egg-cracking action fresh. It’s all about loot runs, survival choices, and yes – making sure you don’t leave empty-winged.
“Team Soda is incredibly thrilled to finally hatch Escape From Duckov into the world, and we can’t wait to see players turn into skilled quack-shots,” said Jeff Chen, producer at Team Soda.
Features Worth Flapping Over
- An Extraction Shooter for Everyone – Streamlined top-down PvE action that’s fun to pick up but tough to master.
- Sneak or Shoot – Go loud with duck-sized firepower or plan your loot runs carefully for a stealthier escape.
- Build Your Base – Scavenge, upgrade, and slowly piece together the spaceship you’ll need to fly away from impending doom.
- Customise Your Arsenal – From peashooters to cannons, a deep crafting and mod system keeps your weapons as wild as the ducks themselves.
From Demo Darling to Full Release
Duckov isn’t waddling in quietly. Earlier this year, its Steam demo soared into the most-played charts, thanks to its quirky mix of extraction shooter mechanics, survival strategy, and a mysterious egg-shaped planet you’re desperate to escape.
The game was also spotlighted during Indie Fan Fest, hosted by Digital Bandidos and The Mix, cementing itself as one of the indie gems to watch this year.
