The Rick & Morty co-creator’s latest is headed our way.
Published: Tuesday, 14th June 2022 at 4:00 pm
If you’ve ever watched frenzied sci-fi TV ‘toon comedy Rick & Morty, you might know what to expect from its co-creator (and main voice) Justin Roiland. And if you’ve played the previous title from his Squanch Games company, Trover Saves the Universe, you’ll certainly be ready for the craziness that is lurking within his latest, High on Life.
The basic plot? Humanity is being threatened by an alien cartel who wants to use them as drugs. It’s up to you to rescue and partner with charismatic talking guns, take down Garmantuous and his gang, and save the world! Yeah, that old story…
“I wanted to make games that I wanted to play, and that was the spark that sort of lit the fire of Squanch Games.” Roiland says in a press release. “Then we shipped Trover, we shipped Accounting+, and now we’re on this absolute dream game that we were kind of building towards this whole time.”
When is the High on Life release date?
The High on Life release date will occur in October 2022, but the developers have not confirmed an exact date yet. When that happens, we’ll be sure to update this page.
Can you pre-order High on Life?
Not yet! Pre-orders for High on Life have not opened at this point. Feeling sad about that? As Rick might say, “You don’t get to tell anyone what’s sad. You’re like a one-man Mount Sadmore.”
However, there is good news: the High on Life game will launch day one on Xbox Game Pass, so you can subscribe to that service (if you haven’t already) to get the game when it comes out.
