'Mighty Goose' Free DLC Planned For Next Month - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on March 30, 2022 @ 1:27 p.m. PDT

Mighty Goose is an over the top, run-and-gun game where you will hunt “down” fiends across a fowl galaxy.

Waddle and gun as fast as any heavily-fortified goose can through five stages, each with their own bounty waiting to be plucked. Flaunt Mighty Goose’s feathers to show off collectible upgrades and weapons like Sprint Boots and Chonker Bombs. Bring rescued companions and their abilities under Mighty’s wing, then team up with local co-op mode for a full goose and gander playthrough.

In this epic adventure, Mighty Goose brings the fight to the Void King. Gun your way through hordes of minions and mechanized machines under the evil conquerer’s command. Free Commander Vark and friends to form your own little squad in the fight to free the galaxy.

Our goose hero might not win a footrace, but his accuracy and wide arsenal of weapons send his enemies packing for the south. Preen invasive space creatures from high-security prisons, dangerous deserts, and ancient civilizations all designed in high-quality pixel art by Richard Lems (KUNAI) with inspiration from classic and beloved run-and-gun games. A high-energy soundtrack by Dominic Ninmark (Blazing Chrome) complements the egg-splosive action.

At its core, Mighty Goose is a tight scrolling run and gun shooter in the vein of classics like Metal Slug and Contra. It will test your skill, timing, reflexes. Building upon that solid arcade base, the game adds a ton of crazy weapons, warmachines, upgrades and secrets.


Return as the winged, waddling, weapon-toting Mighty Goose on a new mission complete with new pixel art by Richard Lems (KUNAI) and fresh tracks from composer Dominic Ninmark (Blazing Chrome). After defeating the Void King in the main campaign, Mighty receives a call about a new threat: the villainous Baron seeks to destroy the aquatic paradise of Planet Ceto. 

Fend off the Baron’s maritime minions, unleashing waves of destruction while riding on a surfboard in this new world. Commandeer a new submersible aquatic vehicle and show sea creatures the superiority of lungs to gills. Enjoy several challenging new levels and a devilish boss fight with the Baron.

Mighty Goose retains all their unlocked upgrades like the double jump, increased ammo, and charged attacks, along with any upgraded secondary weapons. Unleash mayhem once again alongside companions like Commander Vark and his limitless machine gun ammo, Raven and his powerful slash attack, and Regular Duck, who doesn’t do much but tries his best. Pick up a second controller and have a friend control the companion.

“This DLC is a thanks to everyone who made the launch of our tribute to the greatest side-scrolling run-and-gun games of the 1990s so egg-cellent,” said Richard Lems, founder of Blastmode. “Unlock all those upgrades, and find all available companions in the campaign – you’re gonna need all the help you can get to defeat the Baron.”

Mighty Goose’s free DLC is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC/Mac/Linux (Steam) on April 19, 2022 and will also be available through Xbox/PC Game Pass.
