Emergency update 155.5May 25, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsThis fixes a bug with Slob chickens which was introduced in v155.4 yesterday.Game version 155May 24, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsMore new waves! As with the v.154 update, bear in mind that some of these waves are quite hard, and they won't appear on easy difficulties. Also, as usual, the new additions will unavoidably shuffle the wave ordering of existing missions, so you might find that your stored favourites have significantly changed.

Bear in mind that some of these waves are quite hard, and they won't appear on easy difficulties. Also, as usual, the new additions will unavoidably shuffle the wave ordering of exisiting missions, so you might find that your stored favourites are no longer such favourites after all. You can also purchase CI1 as DLC in this update.

If you already own the individual Episodes on Steam, then you can export your purchases to Universe for free. Check the Steam news of each individual Episode for instructions. Steam Achievements have been added. Upon first login, you will retroactively receive all achievements that you have already… achieved. Also, the default letterbox option is now "automatic", which will stretch the image up to 20% horizontally, and will use black bars for anything beyond that. Sadly, due to this new setting, all your game options will be reset in this update.

Well, almost. DLC content is already present in the game, however it cannot be purchased just yet. You will only be able to export existing Chicken Invaders 2-3-4-5 purchases from Steam or the InterAction studios website for use within CIU. Instructions on how to do that will be issued very soon. Also, a very slight teaser for the new Boot Camp mission type. You'll eventually be able to access this mission from Heroes Academies. Please ensure translations are up-to-date, because there are several new phrases added to this update. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-149/34846Game version 148Oct 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsA lot of behind-the-scenes clean-up, refactoring, and unification with the Episodes. Customizable scratches have been added to paintjobs. Also, check out the new "copy existing paintjob" and "randomize paintjob" features. There are also many new text phrases in this update (mainly needed for the Episodes), so please make sure you update your translations. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-148/34616Game version 147Jul 20, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThere aren’t many player-facing changes in this update. Nevertheless, a large part of the game has been reworked. As part of these reworks, all your saved Mission Config presets have been reset, so you’ll need to save them again. Summer content is still available, but you have to manually select it at the main menu via Options → Seasonal Content. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-147/33812Game version 146Jun 3, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsSummer content! :sunglasses: ... and that's pretty much it. Enjoy! Summer content is automatically activated during 1-30 June. You can manually turn it on or off from the main menu by selecting Options → Seasonal Content . More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-146/33344Game version 145Apr 27, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThis is a minor maintenance release, however it does include a noteworthy quality-of-life feature: Upon first startup, your system language will be detected, and if there is a complete or near-complete game translation available for that language, it will automatically be used (of course, you can still set your language manually through the Options -> Language menu). Furthermore, the most up-to-date translation for your language will be automatically downloaded each time you connect to the server. Social network icons have also been added to the main menu so you can watch daily competitive and highlight videos. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-145/32919Game version 144Mar 15, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThis is a minor maintenance release, without any significant player-facing changes. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-144/32393Game version 143Mar 1, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsOn the face of it, this is a minor maintenance release. Behind the scenes, however, this version includes preliminary groundwork for the (tentatively-named) “Galactic Entertainment Network” (GEN), a way to collect and organize recordings of the “best” missions from each day, compile them in a “highlight reel” video, and broadcast them across the galaxy (well, on YouTube at least). Details have not been finalized yet (e.g., which missions will be eligible for recording, the criteria for “best”, the number and frequency of video postings, any rewards, etc.). The intention is to be able to eventually watch some fun and entertaining mission snapshots (e.g., “epic” waves, skillful dodging, near-death experiences) and side-by-side comparisons of certain competitive missions (e.g., quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals of Galactic Cup). Another small but important change is that “Key Rush” missions are now considered "completed” even if they are surrendered/lost (so that 100% completion remains possible). To support this change, all Key Rush mission histories that were either lost or surrendered have been deleted in v.143.2 so that they can now be flown again. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-143/32241Game version 142Jan 27, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThis update removes “The Next Wave” episode from CIU. It might return (together with the rest of the episodes) at some point in the future. In the meantime, the CI2 “Mother-Hen Ship” boss has been added to regular Invasion and Boss Rush missions. This means that boss encounters in existing missions (e.g., your favourites) have potentially changed. “Virtual Joystick” has been added to touchscreen control menu. Due to this change, all menu options have unavoidably been reset, so please take the time to customize them again to your liking. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-142/31929Game version 141Dec 20, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThis update replaces the “Revenge of the Yolk” episode with the full “The Next Wave” episode in CIU, directly playable from your Profile screen. This is a temporary and experimental feature, so enjoy it while you can, and report bugs here. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-141/31550Game version 140Nov 25, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThis update replaces the “Ultimate Omelette” episode with the full “Revenge of the Yolk” episode in CIU, directly playable from your Profile screen. This is a temporary and experimental feature, so enjoy it while you can, and report bugs here. Also, Christmas content has been added to mobile versions of the game. It will be automatically activated about 3 weeks before Christmas, or you can manually enable it now through Options → Seasonal Content. More details about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-140/31249Game version 139Oct 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThis update replaces the “Cluck of the Dark Side” episode with the full “Ultimate Omelette” episode in CIU, directly playable from your Profile screen. This is a temporary and experimental feature, so enjoy it while you can, and report bugs here. Also, Halloween content has been added to mobile versions of the game.

More details about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-139/30800Game version 138Sep 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsYet more increased download size! This update adds the full “Cluck of the Dark Side” episode to CIU, directly playable from your Profile screen. This is a temporary and experimental feature, so enjoy it while you can, and report bugs here. Also, additional seasonal theming changes and a slew of other little improvements – check the full changelog for details. More details about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-138/30367Game version 137Aug 1, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsA lot of internal changes in this update, but also a couple of player-facing ones. PC only (not smartphones): You might notice that the download size is significantly larger than normal. This is because starting with this version, all seasonal content (Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving) is bundled in. There is a button labelled “Seasonal Content” in the Options menu that will allow you to switch between seasonal editions on the fly. “Automatic” means that the game will use the current date to decide which seasonal edition to use (if any). Other buttons force a particular seasonal edition at all times. Note that, due to a technical restriction, this setting is reset every time the game is updated. More details about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-137/29728Game version 136Jul 7, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsA new boss! This update certainly took a while, but the new boss Burgermeister™ 3000 boss presented several design challenges and took a lot longer than expected. In terms of implementation, it’s the most complex boss to date, requiring some never-before-seen mesh deformations and several new special effects. And of course copious tweaking until the fight is fun and manageable. But be warned – this is not meant to be an easy boss! The addition of this boss to the wave pool will cause the layout of certain missions to be shuffled around. To keep things fair, any knockout matches for today have been reset and you will need to fly your knockout match again (as it turns out, this only affects a single player). There was a server rollback at the beginning of May that caused some player progress to be lost. The affected players have been reimbursed.
