High On Life: Sci-Fi Shooter Announced From Rick And Morty Creator

A game from one of the two creators of the cult series Rick and Morty? Sounds absurd, is absurd. But with the announcement of High On Life became exactly that on the Xbox Showcase Reality. And the first trailer for the sci-fi shooter is just as bizarre as you might imagine this idea to be. Humanity is being oppressed by an alien cartel and our task as a bounty hunter is to stop the alien invasion on earth. However, the weapons are not, as usual, shotguns, MPs or other conventional shooting tools, but creatures from other planets.

Talking guns with personality

Depending on their personality and species, they bring different traits that you must use to your advantage. This is also demonstrated to us directly in the first trailer. The game’s tone is loud, over-the-top, and just downright keen on being whimsical. The shooter should still come onto the market in 2022 and was initially just the Xbox Series X/S announced.

A feast for Rick and Morty fans?

In addition to the weapons equipped with personality, the trailer already shows some enemy designs and humorous scenes from the example. For example, one of your weapons is shown calling on living teddy bears with rat tails to fight (at least that’s the best way to describe the aliens in this scene). It has already been announced that numerous planets will be visited during the game. This is how fans of the Rick and Morty episode “Interdimensional Cable” especially looking forward to the game.

In addition, they proudly claim to have not only created a mediocre, but a very good shooter that doesn’t just rest on its humour. Whether this is true or not, we can most likely find out this year.

Aside from obscure titles like High On Life, there was on the Xbox Showcase also see less absurd titles. In particular, Forza Motorsport, Overwatch 2, Diablo 4 and Starfield represent the largest games in the presentation from Microsoft and Bethesda. Accordingly, we have also reported on them in detail.
