Ultimate Sheep Raccoon Announced for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch: New Party Platformer from Clever Endeavour Games

Clever Endeavour Games, the award-winning indie developer behind the hit party platformer Ultimate Chicken Horse, has officially announced Ultimate Sheep Raccoon for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.

The game, confirmed for a Winter 2025 digital release on the Nintendo eShop, serves as a spiritual successor to their previous title and aims to escalate party game chaos for a new generation of hardware and fans. Building on the much-loved formula of Ultimate Chicken Horse, Ultimate Sheep Raccoon challenges players to craft the most unpredictable and exhilarating bike-racing courses imaginable.

Up to eight friends can join the mayhem—both locally and online, with full cross-platform multiplayer support—competing as whimsical barnyard animals that fans of the series will instantly recognize, alongside new characters debuting in this installment. Redesigned gameplay mechanics breathe new life into the experience.

Instead of standard platform racing, players will construct bike courses filled with obstacles, ramps, and a variety of devious traps.

The process is intuitive and accessible, ensuring newcomers and seasoned players alike can dive in and start building hazards to outsmart their opponents. Clever Endeavour Games has highlighted several key features of Ultimate Sheep Raccoon: - Race to victory on bikes with straightforward, pick-up-and-play controls designed for players of all skill levels. - Harness unique power-ups, such as jetpacks for aerial advantage, parachutes for gliding safely over hazards, deployable mines to hinder rivals, and honey traps to bring the competition to a halt. - Collaboratively construct levels by adding rails, ramps, bouncy pads, speed zones, and classic obstacles like spikes and moving platforms—amplifying the challenge with mechanical traps and laser hazards. - Score extra points by performing tricks, including backflips and wheelies, introducing a new layer of skill and strategy. - Enjoy a vibrant cast of playable characters: familiar faces like Chicken, Horse, Sheep, and Raccoon return, alongside new barnyard buddies developed exclusively for this sequel. - Experience multiplayer action with up to eight players, a first for the series. - Take advantage of robust local, online, and cross-platform multiplayer options for seamless play between Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and other compatible systems. - Use the in-depth custom level editor to design, share, and compete on community-made stages.

Players can also curate their own playlists for an ongoing campaign-like sequence of challenges. When discussing the upcoming release, Clever Endeavour Games reaffirmed their commitment to fostering creativity and competition, noting that Ultimate Sheep Raccoon is designed to bring “new energy and unpredictability to the party platformer genre” on Nintendo hardware. Ultimate Sheep Raccoon will be available via the Nintendo eShop for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch in Winter 2025.

The game’s expanded multiplayer, new gameplay elements, and enhanced customization aim to make it a social staple for both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise.
