The gooey alien shooter is taking a little extra time<\/h2>

Squanch Games has announced it’s taking a little extra time on its upcoming game\u00a0High On Life<\/em>. The cartoonish comedy-shooter will still arrive in 2022, but the team has decided to delay it to December 13, 2022.<\/p>

Originally set to arrive in October<\/a>, the Squanch crew says it is working hard towards developing the best experience possible. These extra six weeks will provide some time to squash bugs and tune up.<\/p>

As part of the delay, Squanch published a special animation as an apology. It’s basically a short little sketch<\/a>, which you can watch below.<\/p>

<\/iframe><\/p>

High on Life\u00a0<\/em>is still targeting a launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC, with a day one launch on Xbox Game Pass for cloud, console, and PC.<\/p>

Don’t leave me high<\/h2>

Squanch Games is the studio co-founded by Justin Roiland, a co-creator of\u00a0Rick & Morty\u00a0<\/em>and the Hulu series\u00a0Solar Opposites<\/em>. So if the humor above feels familiar to you, that’s probably why.<\/p>

Given the game’s earlier trailers,\u00a0High On Life\u00a0<\/em>looks to be a mix of sci-fi shooter and Roiland’s particular brand of comedy, with a lot of odd and bizarre humor mashing up with alien creatures.<\/p>

The game’s story looks to feature all kinds of bizarre moments, from talking guns to an alien cartel. Plus, selling humans as a kind of drug for extraterrestrial life.<\/p>

<\/iframe><\/p>

Even though the comedy looks to be a big focus, there’s some cool platforming, powers, and gun design happening in the trailers for\u00a0High On Life<\/em>. It’s a bit out of this world, but Squanch is going to use the delay to squash all the bugs it can and make sure the punchlines land.<\/p>

High on Life\u00a0<\/em>is now aiming for a December 13 launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":808,"featured_media":340427,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[20136,21438,19112,520,21694,19115,116],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":808,"display_name":"Eric
