Squanch Games is keeping the party going — it announced Sunday that High on Life 2 is coming in winter 2025. The reveal went down at the Xbox Games Showcase, with a glimpse at some of the gameplay in the second installment in the wacky intergalactic franchise.

The comical trailer shows off the protagonist skateboarding in a futuristic building as Tobacco’s “Constellation Dirtbike Head” blares in the background. Scenes switch, with the player skateboarding and blasting through a couple of robotic monstrosities, all with the handy, talking alien gun. Additionally, scenes show off strange weaponry, such as a flame-spewing lizard and a pair of reality-bending pistols.

High on Life 2 is set to be released on Windows PC and Xbox Series X.

High on Life, released in 2022, was recently ported over to the Nintendo Switch in 2025. That game featured a character who is fresh out of school and unemployed when Earth is hit with an alien invasion. The main character becomes an intergalactic bounty hunter, teaming up with talking guns to stop these invaders’ machinations.

The original High On Life is also playable on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X through Game Pass.

Now, the story continues this winter with a sequel to the comedic shooter.

Surprising, I didn't think any IP made by Roiland was getting to continue.

He owns the studio I believe

Yes but they made a DLC apologizing for Roiland's involvement which killed off the characters he voiced.

Gotcha, I only played the original for an hour or two.
