Updated March 28, 2019: We Happy Few's first expansion called "They Came From Below!" will launch on April 4.
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 alternate England, conformity is key. You have to fight or blend in with the drug-using inhabitants to survive.
A few months ago, Compulsion Games — now a part of Microsoft Studios — announced that the game would get a season pass. However, until now we didn't know what was included in it. While the story expansions are part of the We Happy Few: Deluxe Edition, a "Sandbox Mode" is coming to all owners for free. It's set in a world that you can completely customize. For example, you can make the map larger, smaller, more dangerous, or contain less food. This mode will bring back the systemic, sandbox world showcased in the early days of We Happy Few.
This first paid expansion, "Roger & James in: They Came From Below!", follows "Precocious Roger" and "Impetuous James" as they set off on an adventure to find love but uncover bizarre technology and a new threat. The second paid download, "Lightbearer", follows rockstar Nick Lightbearer and his appearance on Uncle Jack's late show. Lastly, "We All Fall Down" is the most enigmatic paid content because it seems like it's about uncovering the history of Wellington Wells and how it got so twisted in the first place.
The sandbox mode and expansions seem like a lot of fun. We can't wait to play them after launch. The season pass is currently only available as part of We Happy Few: Deluxe Edition, but will be available for purchase separately upon launch.
