Squirrel with a Gun shoots onto Switch 2 this November

Launched late last year and missing from the original Switch, Squirrel with a Gun will soon make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 on November 18.

This sandbox shooter-slash-puzzle-platformer sees you play as a squirrel with a gun — but not a squirrel-sized gun, an actual human-sized handgun.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Squirrel, meet gun. As the neighborhood’s most obnoxious rodent, develop a knack (and a love?) for crime and mayhem in pursuit of golden acorns in this nutty sandbox shooter and puzzle platformer. Fight tooth, claw, and gun to escape a secret underground facility and defeat the Agents.

Fight tooth, claw, and gun 
Discover what an erratic squirrel is capable of with a gun in its paws (or just its paws) and how far how far this fuzzy fiend will go to collect its acorns. Escape a secret underground facility and defeat the Agents. Upgrade your weapons and locate the other secret bunkers to take down elite bosses, even blow up a tank. Swap out weapons to try your paw at all 12 types of enemy takedowns. 

Solve Intricate Puzzle Rooms to Collect Golden Acorns
Navigate unique puzzle challenges to collect all the golden acorns by getting creative with how you use your arsenal of weapons, using weapon recoil to give yourself a boost. Collect enough golden acorns to unlock hidden sections of the game.

Have Some Nutty Sandbox Fun
Explore the world from a squirrel’s eye view or cruise around in your toy car. Harass the neighborhood or ask for nice pets from curious passersby. Help them out in exchange for goodies (or simply mug them), and unlock cosmetics to create your squirrely style.
