Survival game Duckside gives guns to ducks and it\u2019s not an April Fool\u2019s joke tinyBuildtinyBuild is developing a survival game about combat-trained ducks. Don\u2019t worry, Duckside is real. It\u2019s been an interesting year for survival games so far with Palworld coming out of nowhere and taking the world by storm. The lovingly titled \u2018Pokemon with guns\u2019 set a precedent that tinyBuild looks to follow. This time, it\u2019s ducks with guns in a hilarious-looking title called Duckside. Naturally, they chose to announce Duckside on April Fools\u2019 Day leading the internet to wonder if the game even existed. Fortunately, it does and it looks like a whole lot of fun. The Duckside Steam page and an announce trailer reveal what to expect in this off-the-wall experience. Duckside brings all the usual survival fare with resource gathering, crafting, and base building all present in its persistent, multiplayer world. This all comes with the added bonus that you\u2019re a duck so you can fly with precision flight controls in its 50-player servers. The developers explain a little bit of the ethos of Duckside and the decision to arm ducks with assault weaponry in the game\u2019s brief synopsis. They describe the title as being \u201ca persistent world survival game like DayZ or Rust\u2026 but you\u2019re a duck, and so is everybody else.\u201d \u201cDuckside isn\u2019t just about surviving; it\u2019s about getting into the mind of a duck. Being a duck. Feeling the cold steel of a machine gun on your feathers. And the peace of mind that comes with settling down after a long day, in a house you built out of trash that you\u2019d looted off some guy\u2019s corpse.\u201d While humans \u2013 or \u201cthe featherless\u201d as ducks call them \u2013 are the real enemy, tinyBuild has revealed that players can face one another in PVP. Some of the more dastardly ducks out there may even choose to raid other players\u2019 settlements or ambush them during a migration. There\u2019s no official word on a release date for Duckside yet but prospective players can register for the game\u2019s open beta on Steam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
