Spookily funny

The new DLC features two brand-new talking guns as well. One of the new weapons, Harper, is voicde by Sarah Sherman from Saturday Night Live. Harper is an ex-military pistol with a traumatic past. Players will explore a new planet while being hunted by Mux, a mysterious new antagonist voiced by Gabourey Sidibe best known for her roles inPreciousandAmerican Horror Story.
“We really leaned into horror withHigh On Knife, so it only made sense to launch it around Halloween. The DLC brings more goop, nastier body horror, creepier bosses, and all kinds of strange new stuff to the world we established withHigh On Life.”
High On Knifewill certainly look to capitalize on the success ofHigh On Lifewhich has surpassed over 7.5 million unique players worldwide since its release less than a year ago. The comical title was the biggest Xbox Game Pass release of 2022 and the biggest single-player game launch on Game Pass at the time.
It will be interesting to see if Squanch can pull off the spooky horror with comedy combination. If so there’s certainly an audience for it.
