Duck Side of the Moon, a cozy open-world crafting adventure starring a duck astronaut, launches on PC and Nintendo Switch on May 7, 2026.
The cozy survival and crafting genre is getting a feathered protagonist. IGN South Africa recently debuted the official release date trailer for Duck Side of the Moon, an upcoming open-world adventure where players control a duck astronaut named Doug. After crash-landing in an unfamiliar galaxy, Doug must gather resources, build various gadgets, and upgrade his trusty spaceship to find a new home among the stars.
Developed as a whimsical and low-stress take on cosmic exploration, the game leans heavily into the relaxed pacing that has made the cozy genre a massive hit across PC and handheld platforms. Instead of grueling survival loops and punishing combat, the focus is on creative base building and gentle discovery, offering a nice change of pace for players who use gaming as a primary way to unwind after a long day.
Duck Side of the Moon is scheduled to launch on May 7, 2026. It will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, alongside a Nintendo Switch release for players who prefer to take their cozy farming and crafting sessions on the go. You can check out the full gameplay trailer over at IGN South Africa to see Doug in action.
