We Happy Few Box Art

This game was released on August 10, 2018 and is no longer available to pre-order. Any incentives that were offered are listed below.

We Happy Few is a survival horror game developed by indie studio Compulsion Games and published by Gearbox. Taking place in a dystopian, retrofuturistic 1960s England, the game puts the player into the shoes of three “moderately terrible” people who seek to escape the fictional town of Wellington Wells and its perpetually drugged-out and cheerful inhabitants.

While originally intended as a small, Kickstarter-funded title, the game has since then grown in scope, and will now be getting a worldwide release digitally and through retail channels. The standard version will cost the usual $59.99, but pre-order customers will be getting $10 off that price – more on that after the jump.

Pre-order Bonuses

We Happy Few - Jolly Brolly

Pre-order We Happy Few from participating retailers or digitally to get a 15% or $10 discount as well as the Jolly Brolly parasol weapon. There also are some additional bonuses if you pre-purchase digitally:

  • PSN: We Happy Few Dynamic Theme.

Those who already own the Steam Early Access or Xbox Game Preview version, as well as Tier 1 Kickstarter Backers, will receive the standard version and the Jolly Brolly weapon for free.

Deluxe Edition

The Deluxe Edition of We Happy Few costs $79.99 ($67.99 after pre-order discount) and bundles the base game with a Season Pass. The Pass grants access to three future adventures that will follow the antics of one of Wellington Wells’ most notorious residents. Tier 2 through 9 Kickstarter Backers will receive this version for free.
