Get an early glimpse at the game’s second playable character, Sally.
Compulsion Games has announced We Happy Few will be released a bit later than originally planned.
The title, which was previously slated to launch on April 13, will now be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC sometime this summer. Compulsion Games also released a new developer video that offers a peek at the game’s second playable character, Sally, and outlines what else is ahead for We Happy Few. Watch it below:
The eerie survival adventure, set in a drug-addled dystopian 1960s England, needs some additional time for polish, after Compulsion made substantial changes to improve the first two hours of Arthur’s story. “We went back to the drawing board and made a couple of big decisions: we brought forward a number of story moments, to get into the action faster, and also rebuilt the whole first island for Arthur,” producer Sam Abbott explained.
Thanks to the studio’s partnership with Gearbox, the scope of the crowdfunded roguelike expanded to feature a full story-driven campaign featuring three playable characters, each with their own backstory, and over 250 different encounters.
