Guidonia Montecelio, Italy, November 9th, 2026 – Independent developer Red Hog Studio has unveiled their upcoming co-op drunken pirate adventure Yo Ho Ho And A Rubber Duck. Revealed at the virtual Endix Expo, in this physics-based comedy adventure your crew is the biggest threat!

You can meet the dev team at booth#1 on the first floor from 4-6pm CET Friday, November 6th, 9am-11:30am CET Saturday November 7th, and 3pm-5pm CET Sunday November 8th.

Featuring bright, stylized saturated skies, sculpted rock formations and inflatable props, this slapstick sailing adventure reminds us that there’s no “aye” in “team”

“At its heart, it’s also a bit of a self-portrait: a group of friends setting sail on the wild adventure of game development, chasing the one treasure every developer dreams of, the GOTY. Built around physics-based gameplay, we encourage players to toggle between supporting…”
