Today, Compulsion Games made a number of We Happy Few associated bulletins. The Early Access recreation now has a launch date, April 2018; a writer, Gearbox; and an elevated scope, which the devs have been engaged on for a while. It’s additionally getting a full retail launch and a price ticket to match.
Take some Joy and take a look at the best sandbox games on PC.
First, there’s the elevated value. Early Access video games sometimes grow to be dearer round launch, and We Happy Few will probably be leaping as much as a not insignificant $60. The elevated value additionally comes with an expanded scope, nonetheless.
“After we launched on Early Access, we were approached by Gearbox,” clarify Compulsion Games on Steam. “They basically said to us, if we can make a game like that, then they thought we had a good shot at a retail game. We felt that in order to do that, we needed to reinvest and make the game bigger – as you can well imagine – and so that is what we have been working towards for almost a year. It’s why instead of spending 6-12 months in Early Access, it’s going to be closer to 20.”
The end result, Compulsion promise, will probably be a full-sized retail recreation, although I don’t know what dimension has to do with promoting bodily copies of a recreation.
“The game that we’re planning to ship in April is roughly 2.5x the size of the Life in Technicolour Update (which has just gone live) in terms of pure content, and we’re confident that we will meet the quality and scope expectations that you guys have,” continues Compulsion. “And we’re still confident that We Happy Few is going to be unlike anything you’ve seen. Although it’ll probably, inevitably, still be compared to Bioshock.”
Along with a retail model, Compulsion are dipping their toes into different conventions, akin to pre-order bonuses and, ugh, a season go, a call they defend within the post.
We Happy Few is due out on April 13, 2018.
