High on Life is a Bizarre New FPS from the Creator of Rick and Morty
The Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase kicked off with some big surprises. New gameplay debuted for the upcoming co-op shooter Redfall, followed by confirmation of the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong Metroidvania coming to Xbox Game Pass day one. The biggest surprise of the opening segment, however, was a prize for Rick & Morty fans. High on Life, a new game from Justin Roiland, is confirmed to be coming to PC and Xbox platforms.
The two-minute trailer for High on Life was fittingly absurd for a product of Justin Roiland's strange imagination. High On Life is a sci-fi first-person shooter, that much is clear. It's also based around collecting a strange alien species of gun-creature, each with their own unique powers. Roiland himself voices one of these guns, imploring the player to become a bounty hunter and rescue his gun-alien friends.

The pitch of High on Life, oddly enough, focused less on the actual gameplay of the sci-fi FPS so much as the humor of the voiced guns in the game.

Other bizarre powers for the guns include taking control of other aliens and forcing them to fight, one that fires buzz-saws, and another that shoots his own «babies» that latch onto enemies and explode.
One question left unanswered is how the name High on Life correlates to the game itself.

That's a mystery Rick & Morty fans will have to wait to find out more
