Chicken_Run launches a collapsing-world escape. Confirmed launch details and practical context, checked against the official Steam page for players and readers.

Chicken running across terrain collapsing toward space
Chicken_Run launched on Steam on August 15.

Chicken_Run launched on Steam on August 15, 2026. The free action game follows a chicken whose escape from a farm destabilizes the world and begins a run toward space.

Chicken_Run: confirmed details

Terrain breaks in real time after the chicken passes, requiring continuous jumps and evasive movement across warped structures. Special items found during the journey influence multiple endings. The developer frames the story around a conflict between personal freedom and responsibility, because the protagonist’s movement is itself causing the global collapse. The official store listing credits My Pitiful Life as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

A disintegrating route prevents comfortable backtracking and turns every landing into a decision about the next safe surface. The premise also ties mechanical urgency to the narrative question: continuing the escape protects the chicken’s freedom while visibly making the wider disaster worse.

Availability and lasting context

Chicken_Run is listed as a released product rather than an Early Access build. Normal patches may still change performance, balance and interface details after launch. The confirmed release supports Windows. Store availability and supported languages can vary by account region. Pricing, online availability and later updates should be checked on the live store page rather than treated as permanent facts.

This report separates features released on the stated date from later patches and community expectations. Balance values and platform support can change, but the documented release history remains the same.
