Quack Up Your Survival Skills: Duckside Beta Launches This September!

Tiny Build Games has announced the upcoming beta release of its new survival game, Duckside, which promises to offer players a fresh and unique open-world experience—this time as a duck. Known for publishing a variety of indie games, Tiny Build's development studio, tinyBuild Riga, is entering the spotlight with a game that combines humor and tactical gameplay in an intriguing way.

The open-world survival genre has seen many defining titles, such as Rust and DayZ, which have become staples. While many games in this genre diversify their offerings with different modes, Duckside distinguishes itself with its unique concept.

A newly released trailer for Duckside reveals that the open-world survival game, featuring both PvP and PvE elements, will enter beta on September 12, exclusively on Steam. In the game, players will control ducks stranded in the wilderness, tasked with surviving by gathering resources, building bases, and protecting their loot from rival flocks. The ducks, tough yet endearing, can fly across the landscape, wield weapons like fire axes and machine guns, and even don various hats and tactical gear to identify their squad.

The beta trailer showcases the familiar tactical survival gameplay seen in games like Rust, but with a humorous twist. Helmeted ducks gather materials to build strongholds before soaring into battle against enemy flocks. The trailer also features grenade explosions, first-person shooter action, and even night-vision attacks, all performed by these armored ducks. Fans of games like The Forest, Grounded, and Minecraft may find Duckside a compelling addition to their survival game lineup.

As open-world games continue to captivate players with unexpected twists, Duckside is poised to become one of the more humorous and memorable entries in the survival genre. Interested players should keep an eye out for more updates as the open beta and full release approach.
