Ultimate Chicken Horse Brings Creative Party Platforming to Nintendo Switch

Clever Endeavour Games, the acclaimed indie developer behind Ultimate Chicken Horse, has officially announced that its inventive party platformer will soon make its debut on major consoles, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Although the studio has not specified a precise release date, fans can look forward to a range of new features and improvements tailored for the console experience. For those unfamiliar with Ultimate Chicken Horse, the game stands out in the party platformer genre.

Players compete to build—while simultaneously attempting to survive—a makeshift level filled with traps, moving platforms, and clever obstacles.

Using a broad assortment of objects, both stationary and movable, participants strategically place new elements in each round, creating dynamic challenges as they try to reach the end goal.

Points are awarded for a multitude of achievements, such as outsmarting opponents with traps, successfully reaching the finish line, and completing objectives like collecting coins placed within the level. With its console launch, Ultimate Chicken Horse is set to introduce a significant update: an expanded Free Play Mode.

Clever Endeavour Games explained that this mode will include a "mega expansion"—allowing players to craft even more intricate and imaginative levels.

By utilizing a palette of colored set pieces and permanently attached blocks, players gain finer control over custom stage design.

They’ll even be able to designate the starting and end zones anywhere in their creations, further enhancing replayability and sharing within the community. "This new suite of tools empowers players to create unique levels that have the potential to become just as popular as those found in the main game," said a developer representative in a recent statement.

This reflects Clever Endeavour Games’ commitment to player-driven creativity and community engagement—one of the core strengths that has propelled Ultimate Chicken Horse since its initial PC release. Ultimate Chicken Horse first captured the attention of PC gamers in 2016 with its blend of competitive platforming and collaborative construction, earning praise for its originality and engaging multiplayer gameplay.

The upcoming Nintendo Switch release, complete with expanded modes and full-featured level creation, promises to make the game more accessible and engaging than ever for console players.

Fans can expect to download Ultimate Chicken Horse from the eShop and other digital storefronts upon release. Stay tuned for further updates regarding the Ultimate Chicken Horse console launch date, and follow Clever Endeavour Games for the latest news and gameplay reveals.
