SEATTLE – Sept. 12, 2024 – DUCKSIDE, the quacktion-packed persistent-world survival shooter from tinyBuild, is launching into Steam Early Access on Sept. 25, 2024! As the team gets their ducks in a row, they're holding a final open beta on Steam starting now, inviting ducks of all types to test the waters before release later this month. This latest and greatest open beta runs until September 17 and builds on the tons of feedback the team has received from players, introducing many fan-requested fixes and egg-citing improvements, including a resource balance rework, new weapons (traps, axes, and land mines), night-vision goggles, a mixing table, and colorblind profiles for greater accessibility.
The new features don't end there! Ducks can look forward to many new features when DUCKSIDE launches into Steam Early Access on September 25:
New in Early Access:
New Horizons: Ducks love migrating to new areas! To ensure our feathered friends have access to exciting new types of weather, desert and snow biomes will be added to the game.
Dexterous Ducks: Updated animations for holding, shooting, and gathering will be added (at the cost of the ducks losing telekinetic control of weapons and objects).
The Iron Age (for Ducks): A brand-new, extra-large furnace is on its way, specifically designed to smelt large amounts of ore and create Chainsaws and Jackhammers, some of the new tools coming in early access.
New Weapons: Our feathered physicians have told many ducks never to use alcohol while operating heavy weaponry. To ensure this never happens, a Distillery is being added to the game along with a recipe for Molotov cocktails, as well as Bazookas (a new raid weapon which will replace the old boring grenade launchers).
Watery Resources: Platforms have appeared on the water's surface. No one really knows where they came from, but ducks can gather supplies from them.
Dynamic NPC Behavior: The human NPCs (Non-Plumed Characters) will become smarter, faster to act and more aggressive.
In DUCKSIDE, you'll fight against feathered and featherless foes while gathering loot and materials to create a base, solo or with a flock. Other ducks may be looking to steal your items from under your beak, so protect your territory! Build a giant base, team up with friends to hunt, or simply steal from other ducks. The possibilities are endless in this persistent-world survival shooter filled with ducks, guns and never-ending quacking.
