Wakey wakey, everyone! It’s a lovely day to announce the launch of We Happy Few: Uncle Jack Live VR!

In this PlayStation-exclusive virtual reality experience, help Wellington Wells’ own Uncle Jack put together a broadcast that will bring Joy to Wellies everywhere!

As the newest member of Uncle Jack’s production team, you’ll assist Wellington Wells’ media darling to create an appropriate broadcast for the citizens of Wellington Wells by choosing articles for him to read on-air. But that’s not your only concern – a Downer outbreak will develop throughout the studio, meaning you’ll have to simultaneously find a way to get them back on their Joy – after all, the show must go on!

Outside of the broadcast, Uncle Jack Live VR also includes a positively smashing media archive of Uncle Jack episodes, soundtrack selections, trailers, and more! Explore the past and present of We Happy Few, all in a cozy VR setting.

We Happy Few: Uncle Jack VR Live is now available for FREE in the PlayStation Store! While you’re there, be sure to pre-order We Happy Few to receive 15% off the total price and the exclusive Jolly Brolly bonus weapon!

We’re thrilled to share the first details about We Happy Few‘s post-launch content!

Sandbox Mode

This free update will add an infinite mode, set in a world that you can customize as you wish (larger, smaller, more dangerous, less food, more Wellies, etc).  You will be able to customize some of the rules of the game, including choosing to play as a Wellie (Wellie Mode!). This mode will bring back the systemic, sandbox world showcased in the early days of We Happy Few.

Also in the works is the We Happy Few Season Pass! Included in the We Happy Few Deluxe Edition, the Season Pass includes three different stories set in Wellington Wells:

Roger & James in: They Came From Below!

Precocious Roger and Impetuous James set off in search of adventure and love, only to uncover bizarre technology and a terrifying new threat. All is not as it seems. Or is it exactly as it seems?

Lightbearer

Heartthrob, artist, and personal trainwreck, Nick Lightbearer is Wellington Wells’ most celebrated rock star—but what truly makes him tick? Tune in to Uncle Jack’s late show to find out.

We All Fall Down

Much like any well-worn happy mask, all societies develop cracks in their veneer. But that doesn’t mean you should go digging up dirt from the past. Right? *pops a Joy pill* Right!

The Season Pass is currently only available as part of We Happy Few Deluxe Edition, but will be available for purchase separately upon launch.
