All Eyes on Knifey: New Planet and Characters Incoming
Get ready to holster those controllers, peeps! High On Knife is all set to bring Knifey into the spotlight. The new planetary environment isn’t just window dressing—it’s loaded with fresh characters, unexpected hazards, and even some spook-tastic surprises. Squanch’s Studio Director, Mike Fridley, chimes in, saying, “We really leaned into horror with High On Knife, making it a fitting release as we creep closer to Halloween.”
Claymation Trailer and Trading Cards Tease the Dark Vibes
Squanch Games isn’t holding back on the marketing heat. A brand-new stop-motion teaser trailer is out, and it’s packed with the kind of chills you’d expect. But that’s not all—collector’s alert! The DLC features gross-out trading cards crafted by none other than the legendary Joe Simko, a name you might recognize from [ICONIC TRADING CARD IP].
Meet Harper and B.A.L.L.: New Talking Guns Join the Fray
Thought the original roster was packed? Think again. High On Knife introduces Harper and B.A.L.L., two new talking gun characters. Harper is an ex-military pistol struggling with her past, voiced by Sarah Sherman from Saturday Night Live. B.A.L.L., on the other hand, takes its cues from pinball mechanics and is operated by a squad of mini-operators doing their absolute best.
New Boss Alert: Mux Joins the Battle
Gear up, because Mux is here to hunt you down. Voiced by the talented Gabourey Sidibe, known for roles in American Horror Story and Precious, Mux promises to be a mysterious new boss that’ll give even seasoned High On Life players a run for their money.
High On Life’s Meteoric Rise to Fame
For those not in the know, High On Life has been killing it in the gaming charts. Since its launch last December, the title has roped in over 7.5 million unique players. Not only did it dominate Steam’s top seller list during launch week, but it also became the biggest Xbox Game Pass release of 2022, among other accolades. The game puts players in the shoes of an unambitious high-school graduate who must save Earth from aliens hell-bent on using humans for their next high.
Whether you’re a High On Life veteran or a curious newbie, the High on Knife DLC promises to inject fresh horrors and endless excitement into this already epic universe. Mark those calendars for October 3, gamers!
