We Happy Few, the action adventure from Compulsion Games and Gearbox Publishing looks rather promising in the brand new trailer.
As a reminder, the developer confirmed to us directly that it is still confirmed to be coming to Linux. So there's nothing to worry about there—hopefully.
About the game:
We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key. You’ll have to fight or blend in with the drug-addled inhabitants, most of whom don’t take kindly to people who won’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.
Anyway, here's the new trailer posted today:
Direct Link
They also revealed the actors, with Alex Wyndham as Arthur Hastings, Charlotte Hope as Sally Boyle, Allan James Cooke as Ollie Starkey, Katherine Kingsley as Victoria Byng and also Julian Casey is Jack Worthing.
The Windows version releases August 10th, no actual date for the Linux version yet.
Now I'm even more excited about this one, easily one of the games I am most looking forward to on Linux this year, how about you? Getting a good bit of a BioShock vibe coming off it! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell, it is a British game, so I'm sure there's an echo there. But it's different too; The Prisoner was this separate space from the world, this elite prison thing run by the near-infallible organization. We Happy Few is in the world, a dystopia thing where the government is doing this stuff to everyone--plus the trailer gives me the impression that, being British, it's done pretty inefficiently, so rather than near-infallible things are going to crap. Rather "Brazil"-esque.Yep I see the Brazil comparison now you mention it, I wonder if there'll be guerrilla plumbers in this as well?

Quoting: ShmerlThe studio is Canadian actually. :) And yes, they said several works were an inspiration for them including Brazil, The Prisoner, A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World, 1984 and Doctor Who.I hadn't seen what was written on that link, but I can see all those movies & tv series influence in this, fingers crossed it actually arrives for Linux.
