Nature’s apex bully, the goose, will unleash its spite upon a small English village in Untitled Goose Game later this month. On Friday, developers House House announced a release date of September 20th for their sandbox stealth game, which stars a honking wee git stealing from, tricking, and generally bother the poor villagers. It’s just banter, okay? I’ve been keenly awaiting this for so long, and my anticipation only grows seeing a new trailer demonstrating House House have made your goose’s honk change when honked through different objects it’s carrying. I adore you, you horrible creature.
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?
It s a bit tricky to knock together a list of the best upcoming stealth games, because it s a bit tricky to say what a stealth game even is anymore. Stealth is more frequently looking like a playstyle or bulletpoint rather than the crux of an entire game. Even the best stealth games in recent memory – yer Invisible Incs, Ian Hitmans, Alien: Isolations – have all layered their stealth within towering trifles of genre mashups. And that s good! It just means we’ve had to flex the definition for this list.
Below, I ve gathered together a few of the best upcoming stealth games that I ve got my ridiculously over powered, patrol pattern-sensing eye on. Some of these aren t strictly genre adherent, but all offer stealthy play as at least core element. Do feel free to suggest your own upcoming games in the comments.
They just keep coming don’t they? A lot of games were announced at E3 2019, things that we didn’t know about, as well as stuff that’s previously announced, or expansions to already released games. Now, to the casual outsider, what we’re doing might seem absolutely nuts, but we thought we’d put together an alphabetical list of all the PC games that have been confirmed to appear at this year’s E3 show. With well over a hundred of them now in the books, the next year or so looks packed.

Bad news: The delightful stealth prank/bullying waterfowl simulator Untitled Goose Game has nothing new and fancy to show at E3 this year.
Good news: It is still on track to launch on PC this year.
News that will probably make you shout at me because you think I should be more or less shouty about it myself: it’ll be exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC at launch.
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.
We’ll need to wait a while longer to vandalise a village as a ghastly goose in Untitled Goose Game, as developers House House have announced they’re delaying their sneak-o-antagonise ’em up from this spring to the vague time of “later in 2019.” I’m happy to wait for a game this charming if it needs it, and this might also give me the summer to chase people around nearby villages as practice. East Linton, your knick-knacks and hats will be mine.
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.
