Ultimate Sheep Raccoon Announced for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2: Cross-Platform Party Racing Returns

Clever Endeavour Games, the developer behind the hit party platformer Ultimate Chicken Horse, has officially announced its newest title: Ultimate Sheep Raccoon.

Scheduled for release on both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 in Winter 2024, this much-anticipated sequel aims to recapture the chaotic, creative fun that made the original a cult favorite among party game enthusiasts.

One of the major advancements in Ultimate Sheep Raccoon is its support for cross-platform play, allowing up to eight players to join races together, whether they’re playing on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, or other supported platforms.

This enhanced multiplayer connectivity is set to make matches more accessible and competitive than ever before.
