High on Life 2: A Deep Dive into the Sequel We’re All Waiting For
The critically acclaimed, hilariously bizarre FPS High on Life, developed by Squanch Games and published by Xbox Game Studios, took the gaming world by storm in 2022. With its unique blend of witty dialogue, inventive weapon design (talking guns, anyone?), and vibrant alien landscapes, it quickly garnered a dedicated fanbase. Now, the question on everyone’s lips is: what about High on Life 2? Here’s everything we know so far about the potential sequel.
Confirmed: High on Life 2 is in Development!
The good news is official! During the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, Squanch Games confirmed that High on Life 2 is officially in development. The announcement trailer, while brief, showcased a glimpse of new characters, environments, and, of course, more talking weaponry. Justin Roiland, co-creator of Rick and Morty and the creative force behind Squanch Games, is heavily involved, promising the same irreverent humor and creative energy that made the first game so special.
What Can We Expect in High on Life 2?
While details are still scarce, here’s what we can speculate based on the trailer and statements from the developers:
- New Locations: The first game primarily took place on the planet Blorpstork. High on Life 2 appears to be expanding the universe, showing glimpses of new and exotic alien worlds.
- Expanded Weapon Arsenal: Expect even more bizarre and hilarious talking guns. The trailer hinted at weapons with distinct personalities and unique abilities.
- Story Continuation: The ending of High on Life left several plot threads open, suggesting that the sequel will continue the story of Kaylee and her quest to defeat Garmadorian.
- Enhanced Gameplay: While the core gameplay loop is likely to remain similar, improvements to movement, combat, and exploration are anticipated.
- More Guest Voices: The first game boasted an impressive roster of voice actors. Expect even more celebrity cameos in High on Life 2.
Release Date Speculation
Currently, there’s no official release date for High on Life 2. However, given the development stage and the Xbox Games Showcase reveal, a release window of late 2025 or early 2026 seems plausible. Squanch Games is known for taking their time to polish their games, so a delayed release wouldn’t be surprising.
