Alright We Happy Few fans, it's good news and bad news time. The bad news is that the game has been delayed. The good news is that there is now a playable female character that you'll be able to play as.The game is now slated to be released this Summer for the PC, PlayStation 4, and the Xbox One. The delay seems to be the result of the game being expanded to include a full-length story campaign, three playable characters, and "more than 250 unique encounters." All of this seems to be the result of the move to Gearbox Publishing being brought on as, er well, the publisher of We Happy Few.
Compulsion Games released a developer update video detailing what’s to come for We Happy Few, including a glimpse at the second playable character, Sally. We Happy Few is now content complete, Compulsion Games announced, and the team is taking more time to polish following some major improvements to the beginning of Arthur’s storyline.
“There are these moments that are memorable, very funny, and super weird and we’re really excited to show you all” said Sam Abbott, Producer for We Happy Few. “But we felt that the first two hours of Arthur’s story just didn’t live up to those moments, meaning that the game didn’t start as well as it should. So 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.”
