When you go from a handful of indies to the world stage, it's not all Joy. In The Cost of Joy, Compulsion Games takes you on the studio’s origins, the development of We Happy Few, and their introduction as a Microsoft studio through archival footage and new in-depth interviews.

Hi all,

Here we are, the last DLC for We Happy Few, We All Fall Down.

We are really excited to bring you all this final chapter. Victoria Byng has been a part of the We Happy Few journey ever since she first appeared in the E3 gameplay trailer in 2016. This our farewell to Wellington Wells and to all of you. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.

I'm afraid we've come to the end of our time.

Hi all,

We are glad to present the trailer for the final DLC of We Happy Few, We All Fall Down, coming November 19th.



You’ve taken your Joy, but now it’s time to tear it all down in this final piece of handcrafted Season Pass content. Play as Victoria Byng, get a grip on her whip, and get the last word on the story of Wellington Wells. As Victoria reckons with her own withdrawals, the city slides deeper into Joy shortage and disorder. It’s always been Victoria’s duty to help keep things proper, but the closer she looks, the deeper the rot seems to run.
We All Fall Down climbs to the highest heights of We Happy Few gameplay yet:
•Tour Wellington Wells at its absolute most dire
•Crack the whip across the face of your foes in a snappy new take on combat
•Or take the stealthy route with a shocking new dart gun
•Take the high road as you climb across the rooftops in a new, stealthy spin on We Happy Few exploration"
•Stick it to the system swiftly – there’s no time for eating, sleeping, and crafting while the world falls apart

This DLC is available for all Season Pass holders (also in the Deluxe edition of We Happy Few) or as a standalone.

Hi all,

On Monday, November 11th at 11am ET, update 1.9 of We Happy Few will drop on all platforms along with a little something else!
