Escape from Duckov Soars to the Top of the Steam Charts
Published by Bilibili Games, Escape from Duckov brings a colorful and humorous twist to the serious extraction shooter genre. In this single-player “duck survival adventure,” players take control of a bird, undertaking missions, improving their shelter, and trying to survive in dangerous areas.
Although designed as a parody, the game stands out with its challenging PvE mission cycle. The game blends fun gameplay with tactical elements, appealing to both hardcore gamers and beginners.
Escape from Duckov surpassed 200,000 sales in the first 24 hours of its release. However, the real success came with 1 million copies sold by the end of the week. The game’s producer, Jeff Chen, thanked the community in a statement, saying:
“I must say that this achievement makes us very proud. We are grateful to all the players who supported us and to our friends, the Bilibili Games team. Thank you to everyone, from those who have been with us since the first demo to those who have just joined us.”
Escape from Duckov, currently one of the most popular games on Steam, has reached over 250,000 concurrent players, reaching the top of the platform.
The game, which quickly became a “joke but good enough to be taken seriously,” has breathed fresh air into the extraction shooter genre with its humorous approach. It looks like the ducks aren’t just flying this time; they’re soaring on the sales charts.
