‘We Happy Few’ Shows Off Longest Trailer Yet

by Dylan Blight

Publisher Gearbox has released a new five-minute trailer for Compulsion Games’ upcoming title, We Happy Few.

Australians may have been getting ready to ignore any news about We Happy Few as the game’s release date approaches, after it was initially denied classification and banned from Australian audiences. However, with that initial hiccup fixed and the game now sporting a fresh R18+ classification, Aussie gamers can get excited over new trailers.

The latest trailer shows off some of the biggest characters in the fictional city of Wellington Wells, including doctors, mayors and more.

The trailer also includes plenty of gameplay, and the game looks as “Bioshock-y” as it ever has, both in design and story elements. Combat appears to offer visceral options and a sizable skill tree to upgrade, with both frontal assaults and sneaky approaches viable.

“Joy,” the drug citizens take to lead happy lives—and the cause of the Australian Classification Board’s issues with the game—is front and centre. You’ll be able to choose whether you take it (making it easier to get around the city) or ignore it (making enemies more likely to chase you).
