Justin Roiland of Rick and Morty fame is back with studio Squanch Games for his latest project: High on Life. As revealed during the Xbox/Bethesda showcase, it’s a first-person shooter that stars a high school graduate who uses a talking gun to defend Earth against an invading alien force who wish to use humans as a new drug.
As a bounty hunter, you’ll be able to collect upgrades and find even more talking guns to destroy the aliens with, all while working both with and against a group of NPCs. The enemy aliens are led by someone named Garmantuous. There’s also a gun voice by JB Smoove, so, you know it’s going to be a good time.

The guns themselves are some of the most prominent characters, offering “their own narrative take” on events and featuring different personalities, according to the announcement. Their faces bear a little resemblance to the Oddworld characters, as well as the Crazy Frog mascot from the early 2000s. Among the locations you’ll visit are a jungle and a city located inside an asteroid, among “other dynamic and changing worlds” that are home to aliens and wildlife.
