Hold onto your feathers, gaming fans! A new flock of colourful characters has arrived, ready to frolic in the console ponds of Nintendo Switch and Xbox One and Series X|S. The officially licensed Schnabels® bathtime buddy racing game, Rubberduck Wave Racer, developed by Joindots GmbH, is officially waddling onto our screens today!
Imagine a dozen super cute Schnabels® ducks, each with their own distinctive personalities, poised and ready to take the plunge into 16 wildly varying courses. These little ducks are more than just your average bathtime buddies. From a daring diver duck to a relaxed spa fowl and even a superhero duck, they’re all set to ruffle some feathers in the gaming world.
And with up to four players able to compete beak to beak, you can challenge your mates and family to see who can navigate the peaceful riverside course or brave the thundering whitewater rapids. For those seeking something a little more heated, try dodging lava flows in the volcano course!
But don’t let the cuteness of these rubber ducklings fool you. Beneath the adorable exterior, there’s a devious spirit ready to ruffle some feathers. With well-timed power-ups at your disposal, no duck is safe from some friendly competition.
