In 2019, the studio “House House” achieved a surprising huge hit with “Untitled Goose Game”. Now the game is getting a two-player update – and is coming to Steam.
When does Untitled Goose Game launch on Steam? The game will be available on September 23 on Steam. So, users have to wait a little less than a month until Steam players can access the surprise hit from 2019.
Previously, the self-proclaimed “slapstick stealth sandbox game” was already available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and the Epic Games Store. But even goose fans who have already completed the game on these platforms can be excited: Because on September 23, a new free update will be released, allowing the game to be played in local multiplayer mode on all platforms.
Finally honking together – What is the goose game all about?
This is how the coop mode works: During the “Nintendo Indie World Showcase” event, developer “House House” showed a trailer that featured the new coop mode. Here you can see what it looks like:
The principle is quite simple. Instead of one terribly cute but also quite nasty goose, now two birds are wandering through an English village causing chaos. You can for example steal from residents, set nasty traps for them, break into garages, or create a ruckus at the electronics store. Or whatever else you can think of.
You can now complete the entire game together and drive even more villagers to madness in the goose duo. It is possible that this crazy game will join the best couch coop games of 2020 in September.
The developers state regarding the goose reinforcement: “New goose, new honk, still horrible” – with “honk” referring to the sound that the goose makes, which has become quite iconic by now.
A world-famous goose: When the unconventional indie game was released in 2019, the “honk”-making goose took the gaming world by storm. It appeared in the form of memes, circulated as an insider joke on social media channels, or was graphically integrated into other games by fans. In short: The goose was suddenly everywhere.
The humor of the game struck a chord, which was evident in January with high sales figures of over a million copies sold, as well as in terms of awards. The goose received many prizes – it also performed well at the GameStars, finishing second place in the best indie games.
