Squirrel With a Gun is an upcoming Steam game built in Unreal Engine 5 that has taken the internet by storm because it stars a squirrel with... well... a gun.
Squirrel with a Gun is being developed by Dan DeEntremont, and early footage of the game showcases the titular squirrel running through a town with normal-sized guns chasing unsuspecting people and taking down Agents using various weapons.

The game will also let you parry attacks to disarm enemies and use the recoil of the guns to fly through the air and cross big gaps you wouldn't be able to cross with your squirrel skills alone. If you are feeling extra mischievous, you can even rob the residents of your neighborhood of their phones, cake, and more.
Squirrel With a Gun's first trailer also shows what appears to be adorable hats and accessories you can put on your gun-toting furry friend and puzzles in a secret lab that reward you with a delicious and digital-looking nutty treat.
The video game genre of animals causing chaos in the world looks to have a new contender and one that will one day join the likes of Untitled Goose Game, Goat Simulator, and more. As for when that day will be? DeEntremont is currently saying on the game's Steam page that Squirrel With a Gun's planned release date is "good question!" This means it may be sometime before we can become this legendary rodent.
