<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/we-happy-few/">We Happy Few</a>&#8216;s new trailer showcases the indie survival games&#8217; three playable main characters, while also offering additional story details and a closer look at its creepy dystopian world. The trailer ends with brief looks at We Happy Few&#8217;s overhauled crafting system, and new skill trees and side quests.</p>
<p>We Happy Few&#8217;s three main characters are Arthur Hastings, Sally Boyle, and Ollie. We&#8217;ve known of Arthur since We Happy Few&#8217;s original announcement, and the trailer showcases he&#8217;s still a handy tinkerer. He tends to build his way around a problem, whether that&#8217;s hacking into equipment or crafting makeshift weapons. Sally appears to approach enemies with a bit more stealth than Arthur. We don&#8217;t see her engaging anyone in direct combat, as she instead utilizes her drug-filled syringes to knock out guards before sneaking into restricted areas. Ollie is portrayed as loud-mouthed and crass. We see him shove off guards with his bare hands and craft a diverse set of explosives to handle large numbers of enemies. The man doesn&#8217;t seem to care whether people see him or not.</p>

<p>We Happy Few has transformed a number of times since it was first announced. Revealed at <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/drugs-and-dead-bodies-in-the-dark-twisted-game-we-/1100-6441252/">E3 2016</a>, Compulsion Games&#8217; indie title was originally built almost entirely around Arthur&#8217;s crafting gameplay and was releasing as a Microsoft exclusive. However, after launching in Early Access, Compulsion saw that players were asking for more story and means of survival other than crafting.</p>
<p>The option to pre-purchase We Happy Few was <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/we-happy-few-delayed-developer-removes-option-to-p/1100-6456219/">removed</a>, and Compulsion went to work on overhauling the game. The title was reworked with a new skill tree and a more in-depth story. The number of protagonists was upped from one to three, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/we-happy-few-release-date-ps4-version-announced/1100-6452573/">a PS4 version</a> of the game was announced, and more mechanics were added to combat. Though We Happy Few is still geared towards survival gameplay, the title&#8217;s new action-adventure focused mechanics make it play a lot closer to its <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/bioshock/">BioShock</a> inspiration.</p>
<p>We Happy Few is launching on August 10 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.</p>
