High on Life, the sci-fi shooter from Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland, is scheduled to come out on Xbox and PC on December 13th. High on Life looks like a ridiculous mix of Galaxy Quest, Oddworld and Bugsnax, sending players on an interstellar journey to save their friends from globular, brightly colored aliens. Roiland's studio, Squanch Games, this June, targeting a release in October. Today's news marks a delay of just two months. Considering some of the , delays in gaming this year, a few months is basically right on schedule.
A main feature of High on Life is the array of talking, bug-eyed weapons at the player's disposal. The guns provide commentary and jokes as they shoot projectiles including bullets and their own spore-like babies. There's also a knife that cries out for blood and says "stab" as you sink its blade into enemies. It's all very wholesome, in a mature-cartoon-violence kind of way.
Alongside the new release date, Squanch dropped a new trailer for High on Life during Gamescom's Opening Night Live showcase, featuring a boss fight with the baddie 9-TORG. The footage shows off grappling and gun mechanics in a single room covered in green sludge, complete with near-constant comments from the weapons.
The Squanch crew announced the delay hours before ONL went live, alongside an with very Roiland vibes.
