Escape from Tarkov’s Duck-Themed Competitor Sold 200,000+ Copies in 24 Hours

by

Escape from Duckov is a fun and unique take on the ‘extraction shooter’ style of game. It takes the popular elements of Escape from Tarkov and adds a surprising twist: you play as birds! While it seems silly, the game is actually quite difficult and intense, which is a big reason why it’s become so popular on Steam.

Escape from Duckov quickly became a popular extraction shooter on Steam, gaining a large player base almost immediately after its release. It sold an impressive 200,000 copies on its first day and sales have continued to climb.

Escape from Duckov is Running Wild

Team Soda created Escape from Duckov, and Bilibili is publishing it. While very different from the realistic and often difficult Escape from Tarkov, Duckov is gaining popularity as a fun and engaging extraction shooter.

For now, Escape from Duckov is PvE only, but that might change given the game’s success.

Escape from Duckov lets you create and control a fully customizable bird character. You’ll lead raids into a dangerous world filled with other birds who want to fight you. It’s similar to other action games with weapons and armor, except you play as a bird with human-like qualities.

I really enjoy the base-building aspect of Escape from Duckov. It lets you create and customize your own unique hideout.

On Steam, Escape from Duckov has rocketed, in addition to securing more than 200,000 sales.

Thank you to the over 200,000 people who have joined the Duckov universe! Your support has made this fun world possible. 🎉 Plus, a 12% discount is still available – get it now for just $15.83 until October 29th! #EscapeFromDuckov

Before its official release, the game reached number four on the best-sellers chart and seventh in terms of wishlists. Just moments ago, over 103,000 players were online simultaneously, a peak number that puts it among the most popular extraction shooter games, comparable only to ARC Raiders.

The game benefited from an immediate launch sale, with its price reduced as soon as it became available.

Escape from Duckov is a surprisingly enjoyable game, especially in a genre known for being difficult and unwelcoming. Interested in giving it a shot? Share your thoughts on the TopMob Discord server!
