25 Years of Moorhuhn: The Cult Classic Returns – Now on All Modern Platforms!
Higgs Games GmbH and Markt+Technik Verlag GmbH are thrilled to announce the revival of one of the most beloved video game classics: The Original Moorhuhn Hunt will be released on June 20, 2025 for Nintendo Switch™, Sony PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5, Windows®, Android™, and iOS®.
A Piece of Pop Culture Makes Its Comeback
Few games have shaped the German gaming landscape of the early 2000s like The Original Moorhuhn Hunt. What began as an advertising game quickly became a mass phenomenon: its simple gameplay made it a break-time favorite and an office classic. Players shoot as many flying Moorhuhn chickens as possible within a set time limit – requiring precision, quick reflexes, and a sharp eye for hidden details. This re-release is not just a technical update for modern platforms, but a heartfelt tribute to a digital cultural icon that continues to delight fans – then and now.
Back in Classic Form – Just Like You Remember
The game stays true to the original 2000 version – offering nostalgic fun for veterans and instant enjoyment for newcomers:
- Graphics & Sound: Identical to the original version – just like you remember
- Authentic Gameplay: Pure Moorhuhn feeling with time pressure, limited ammo, and the iconic scoring system
- Optimized Controls: Tailored for each platform – perfectly adapted for touch, controller, and mouse
- Play Anywhere, Anytime: Whether on PC, on the go with your smartphone, or relaxed on the couch with a console – the hunt is on across all platforms
“We didn’t want to reinvent the game – we wanted to bring it back exactly as people remember it, with all its charming quirks,” explains Jörg-Dieter Leinert, CEO of Higgs Games. “Easy to play, hard to master”, adds Christian Braun, CEO of Markt+Technik Verlag.
