Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop release date set for December

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop is heading to Nintendo Switch next month, it’s been announced. The game is scheduled for December 5, 2024.

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop, a frantic “fix ’em up” game inspired by the comedy and aesthetics of Adventure Time and Rick & Morty, was announced a little over a year ago. We knew it was planned for this year, but beyond that we’ve been waiting on more specific timing.

Here’s an overview of the title:

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop will cast you as Wilbur, a vest wearing Fox, who carves out a paltry living as a mechanic, repairing as many ships as he can to afford the ever-rising rent payments to his tyrannical boss, Uncle Chop.

With a range of tools, diagnostic devices, parts and workshop appliances, Wilbur will need to correct faults in the modules of procedurally generated spaceships, based on brand specific manuals which will be acquired along the way. From simple refuel jobs to total mechanical overhauls, you will need to frantically fumble, slice, loosen, tighten, grab and drop and try to complete as many jobs as possible within each daily time limit.

Clock in, think fast, work faster and pay the ever escalating bills forcing you to take on more audacious and risky jobs from a diverse range of oddballs.

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop will cost $19.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop. We have more coverage, including a trailer, over here.
