‘We Happy Few’ Secures Release Date

Published

on

It’s certainly been a while, but Compulsion Games’ We Happy Few is finally getting that release date. The game is being published by Gearbox Publishing, and will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on April 13th, 2018. As a result, the game will see more additions to the base game, including new quests, locations, weapons, and a new price point ($60 USD from the original $30).

To offset the increased price point, Compulsion Games is offering a 15% reduction if you pre-order the game, which will also come with a new weapon &emdash; the “Jolly Brolly” parasol. PS4 owners will also receive an exclusive dynamic theme, while Xbox One, Steam, and GOG customers get the alpha version of the game with the latest “Life In Technicolour” update.

If you were absolutely sold on the dystopian thriller from the get-go, you can nab the Deluxe Edition, which includes the DLC Season Pass consisting of three additional pieces of content that will be released as they become available. Finally, you can also order the Collector’s Set for $149.99, which includes a separate box set that contains an Uncle Jack Alarm Clock, a replica Bobby mask, a “You Look Smashing” 3-Tiered Lamp, the game’s soundtrack on vinyl, a game handbook, stickers, and propaganda posters.

Head on over to the game’s Steam page or GOG.com page to get in on the fun.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
