We Happy Few, the survival recreation set in an England dipped in a ’60s fever-dream aesthetic, is rolling in the direction of launch, however an replace from its builders reveals that it’s going to now solely be getting one main replace in Early Access as a substitute of two.
The unique plan, in response to an update post from Compulsion Games, was to launch two chunky patches for We Happy Few whereas it was in Early Access: the Joy replace and the Parade District.
Now solely the Joy replace can be popping out earlier than launch with its launch having now been delayed into mid-August.
“Early Access is superb, however it’s turning into very difficult to keep up each a daily replace schedule and lock down the story,” Compulsion clarify. “The Early Access construct is at the moment separate to the story construct; they share a code base, however the content material is barely completely different. So far, the content material has been capable of coexist aspect by aspect, however as we add polish and actually lace all the things collectively, however that is altering. The Parade District, particularly, is intertwined so closely with the story that we don’t assume we are able to ship an excellent ‘Early Access’ model, in contrast to the opposite biomes.”
The Joy replace, at the very least, can be bigger than initially deliberate, however should you have been wanting ahead to working by a parade to flee sadistic bobbies you will have to attend till the sport’s eventual (and as but unknown) launch date.
