Honk honk - Untitled Goose Game is getting a co-operative multiplayer mode.

The arsehole avian adventure will expand its aviary (and arsehole-ness) by adding a second playable goose on 23rd September, and both geese will be able to arsehole their way through the entire game in mischievous, co-operative revery.

Or as developer House House puts it, "Play...as two horrible geese, honking twice as much, teaming up to plan pranks, and generally ruining everyone's day, together."

The angry avian star of developer House House's acclaimed Untitled Goose Game, in which nature fights back against humanity in the form of a perpetually disgruntled goose, has already inspired countless fan art delights - but now, thanks to one plucky creator, it's gone full Lego, and you can vote for a chance to get it made into a real set.

Created by someone calling themselves A Fellow Player, the unofficial Untitled Goose Game Lego build (thanks GamesRadar) - themed around goose's memorable early encounter with gardener - took the spotlight yesterday when it was selected as a Staff Pick over on the Lego Ideas website. Lego Ideas, if you're unfamiliar, is an official Lego initiative that enables fans to promote their build projects in a bid to get a proper release.

"The worldwide phenomenon of 2019 comes to LEGO!," reads the Untitled Goose Game submission's description, "Enjoy life as a destructive goose in a small garden. Watch out for the gardener and his many tools! Props Included: Jam, Apple, Sprinkler, Goose Sign, Rose Bush, Carrot, Loose Foliage, Spoon, Shovel, Sun Hat, Hammer, Ice Chest, and a Key."

If you've yet to finish up your PC playthrough of Resident Evil 2 because you've been too distracted by the antics of a certain renegade goose, I have wonderful, if a tad unsettling, news. A PC mod now replaces Resident Evil 2's terrifying Mr. X with an even scarier sight: the goose from Untitled Goose Game.

As Goose has swiftly become one of gaming's most devilishly delinquent characters, it seems a natural progression to bring the bird to Raccoon City, particularly as the modder behind this particular mash-up also brought us the nightmare fuel that was the Thomas the Tank Engine mod, too.

While yet to be formally released, you can see the mod in action on modder ZombieAli's Twitter account. I'm delighted to confirm that yes, Goose retains the Fedora "because he is just so fancy like that" and yes, the final version will "include extra HONKS".

If you're a curious goose, you may be interested to know it takes around seven hours to steal every single item in Untitled Goose Game.

Goose fan TerakJK recorded his bird doing just that: nabbing every thing which wasn't nailed down and dragging it back to the game's pit.

There's absolutely no reason in the game to do this. Certainly, the game itself can be finished in far shorter time. But the game's aim is pretty clear: to be as big as dick as possible. And so ultimate run this feels the inevitable outcome.

Untitled Goose Game isn't a particularly long game - a normal playthrough should take around three hours to complete - but a speedrunner has managed to cut that down to just over three minutes.

French speedrunner Seijouf is currently the reigning champion at being the fastest horrible goose by blasting through the game in just three minutes and 46 seconds.

In Seijouf's Any% run, he uses his un-goosely powers to glitch his way through gates and fences; utilising stealth, speed and exploits to complete the objectives he needs to, rather than pissing off too many residents of the village. Which sort of defeats the object of the game - but then again, speedrunners do tend to make their own objectives.

Geese are dicks. I know that, and you know that. I don't think there's a single person who hasn't got a story to share about being terrorised by these feathered menaces, these long-necked shits. My own involves cycling home on the Hertford Union Canal and coming across a small blockade just outside Victoria Park as other cyclists were threatened by one very angry, very aggressive goose. Then, after a short while, it started to attack standers-by, swinging its beak at exposed shins and hissing, its grotesque spiky tongue flapping as it went. Eventually, someone just had enough and kicked the goose square in the neck, forcing it to saunter off. Good. Geese are dicks.

Untitled Goose Game knows that geese are dicks, and makes a virtue of it. Indeed, it makes an entire game out of it, because here you are the goose, terrorising a small village that gently unlocks as you progress through the short adventure. Be the arsehole. Live the dream. It's a concept so pure, so universal, that developer House House didn't even have to bother coming up with a name for its game. You know from the off what it involves. You know from its brilliantly unvarnished name that you want to play it.

And when you do, it's glorious. The first few minutes spent in Untitled Goose Game's company are side-splittingly hilarious - it's no wonder this thing became a small Twitter phenomenon when early gameplay videos first did the rounds - and House House deliver on all the promise the concept implies. The detail here is wonderful, most notably in the goose itself and the pat-pat-pat of its webbed feet, the swagger of its waddle, the bark of its honk. Look at the little jerk go!

Untitled Goose Game, a game in which you play as a sociopathic goose (as if there's another kind), finally has a release date! It'll be ruffling feathers on Switch and PC on 20th September.

Developed by House House, Untitled Goose Game is, believe it or not, a stealth game. It's a sort of sandbox-y affair, giving players a range of (unsurprisingly, goose-related) abilities, including honking and flapping, which can be used to solve a variety of objectives - mostly seeming to involve ruining people's lives.

When Dicebreaker's Johnny Chiodini took a look at the game during PAX West last year, for instance, he harassed a gardener, threw his rake in a lake, and stole some carrots. It's already sounding like potential Game of the Year material, right?

Epic has ruffled feathers by announcing that the Untitled Goose Game will be an Epic Store exclusive when it launches on PC.

The company's been spending a lot of money on exclusives of late. Untitled Goose Game, in which you play as an unpleasant goose, is just the latest. The game is also headed for Switch, where it will be available day one, and it will be coming to Itch and Steam at a later date.

Take a gander at the trailer below.

Oh no! Everyone's most anticipated game of 2019 - which is obviously Untitled Goose Game - is coming out a little later than anticipated.

Originally intended for release in early 2019, Untitled Goose Game has been delayed to the vague time of "later" in 2019. Developer House House explained this is due to "circumstances beyond [its] control" - although that may also be referring to their fowl-mannered goose in the video.

If arsehole bird simulator has (somehow) passed you by, the basic premise is that you're an evil goose tasked with wrecking people's lives. That's pretty much it. I'm on-bird with this.
