“High on Life” Is Reportedly Getting A New Update/DLC

New content for “High on Life” was teased via a video on Twitter.

The popular comedy game, High on Life appears to be getting a horror-themed update or DLC.

While the game has already received updates in the past, which added fixes and new graphics options for players, this new tease implies that the upcoming content will be tonally different from the rest of the game and will offer something new to players.

This announcement comes shortly after Squanch Games committed to updating High on Life following co-founder Justin Roiland’s departure from the company.

Roiland faced domestic battery and false imprisonment charges, and it was unclear at the time what form the updates would take. However, this new tease gives players a better idea of what to expect.

The teaser for the new content was posted on the game’s official Twitter account and is a short eight-second clip that shows the title High on Knife written in what appears to be blood, with some spilling from an unknown source off-camera.

Although the teaser does not provide details besides the title, the video's caption indicates that this is intended to be an update or DLC for the game.

While the theme suggests that the new content could be horror-based, High on Life is a game focused on telling absurd jokes, so the update will likely be more focused on humor rather than scares.

Despite the announcement's excitement, some players have responded with a lack of enthusiasm.

The top comment on the announcement states that no one asked for this content, while others criticize High on Life for working on new content without properly concluding the base game due to a lack of localization.

Additionally, some users allude to Roiland’s allegations, which could impact how some players view the game.

However, some players are excited about the update and believe that it could be related to a character found early in High on Life’s plot named Knifey, who some players felt was underutilized despite being introduced early in the game.

Regardless of players’ reactions, High on Life has the opportunity to disassociate itself from Roiland’s involvement with this update.

If the new content proves to be a meaningful update to the game and successfully distances itself from Roiland, it could be a positive sign for Squanch Game’s future as they attempt to move on from a problematic figure who was previously highly involved in the company.

It is worth noting that the announcement of the High on Knife update could signify a new direction for Squanch Games. While they have primarily focused on comedy games in the past, this new update could be a sign that they are branching out into different genres.

Additionally, if the update is successful, it could attract new players to the game and potentially encourage them to try other titles from the studio.

Final Words

The announcement of High on Knife, a new update or DLC for High on Life, has generated mixed reactions from players.

While some are excited about the new content and the potential for High on Life to move in a new direction, others are skeptical and criticize the game for working on new content without properly concluding the base game or addressing past controversies.

Regardless of players’ reactions, High on Knife represents an opportunity for Squanch Games to disassociate itself from Justin Roiland and potentially attract new players to the game.

Only time will tell if the update proves to be a success and if it will lead to further innovation and experimentation from the studio.
