We Happy Few will finally leave Early Access on April 13, 2018.

Developer Compulsion Games has partnered with Gearbox Publishing to bring the full game to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This version will have “more story, brand new locales, helpful new items and weapons, and thrilling new quests.”

The game since it entered Early Access last year. For those of you how haven’t been following, We Happy Few is set in the retrofuturistic, psychedelic world of Wellington Wells. The populace is kept cheerful and peaceful thanks to a small pill called Joy.

During the game, you take the role of three “moderately terrible people” and follow their storylines. You will fight, sneak and talk your way through the procedurally generated world.

Back to the subject at hand – We Happy Few will now cost $59.99, but if you pre-order it you get a 15% discount, plus the in-game “Jolly Brolly” parasol weapon. You will also gain access to the alpha version of the game.

If you already bought the game during its Early Access phase or backed it on Kickstarter, you will automatically get the Standard Edition of the game and the pre-order bonus.

Kickstarter backers will also get a few more bonuses, depending on their pledge. For example, if you are a Tier 10 and up backer, you will the Collector’s Set. You can see it below.

The Collector’s Set includes:

  • Replica Bobby Mask
  • Game Handbook
  • The “You Look Smashing” 3-Tiered Lamp
  • Uncle Jack Alarm Clock
  • We Happy Few Soundtrack on Vinyl
  • Propaganda Posters
  • Sticker Set

The We Happy Few Collector’s Set will run for $149.99. If you really want to buy one, know that supply is limited so these won’t last long.

To recap – We Happy Few will be released on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, on April 13, 2018. If you already bought one or back the game on Kickstarter – you’ll get the game.
