If causing chaos as a bushy-tailed rodent wielding firearms sounds like a good time to you, Maximum Games has some great news: you’ll be able to start unlocking Squirrel with a Gun achievements later this year when Squirrel with a Gun launches on Xbox Series X|S. Will it have the acorns to go head-to-head with the best third-person shooter on Xbox? Likely not, but I’m excited to jump in, nonetheless.Squirrel with a Gun announced for Xbox Series X|SI’m quite partial to a goofy or heavily comedic game and have had my eye on Gori: Cuddly Carnage as my furry guilty pleasure for the year, but now DeeDee Creations and Maximum Entertainment have thrown a new contender into the mix: Squirrel with a Gun. As the title suggests, you play as a squirrel with the uncanny ability to cause murder and mayhem with guns — seven different firearms, to be precise. It’s probably not going to be the most serious of video games, and I’m compelled to feel a good level of excitement for it.Starting as “nothing but a rodent with a dream,” Squirrel with a Gun has you escaping a secret underground facility to wreak havoc in a sandbox world filled with puzzle platforming bunkers to collect golden acorns. With weapons like sniper rifles and grenade launches on hand, it certainly sounds like you can cause some extreme carnage as you take down enemy agents, help or mug the neighborhood’s residents, cruise around in RC cars, give elite bosses a good whooping, and… blow up a tank? Of course, you play as no ordinary squirrel, so expect to find cosmetics, upgrades, and new takedowns along the way.Squirrel with a Gun grabbed my attention last year when DeeDee Creations dropped a Steam trailer for it, and at the time there wasn’t any word about a console release. I’m so chuffed that it’s coming to Xbox Series X|S later this year, and I will definitely be jumping in for some nutty action.Last month, I covered Road Redemption Games’ wacky action-strategy sandbox game Kingmakers, which is also expected to launch on Xbox Series X|S later this year — 2024 is going to be a good one, my friends!
