Humorous Shooter Ascended on Existence to be morphed into an animated series

A comedic first-person shooter known as High on Life, which debuted in 2022, stirred mixed reactions among players due to its focus on humor. Despite the controversy involving one of the game’s previous creators Justin Roiland, the game High on Life is now set to be adapted into an animated series.

Deadline has reported that JB Smoove, known for his role in Curb Your Enthusiasm, will be producing the animated adaptation of High on Life. There are also rumors circulating that JB Smoove might also act in the show, possibly reprising his character from the game.

Crafted by Squanch Games, creators of Accounting++ and Trover Saves the Universe, High on Life is a quirky first-person shooter with metroidvania features that heavily incorporates zany and improvisational comedy.

Despite mixed critical reviews, High on Life garnered positive feedback from players and attracted over 8 million players, partly due to its release on Game Pass on day one.

With a comedic style reminiscent of Rick and Morty, High on Life has the potential to become a prosperous cross-platform franchise, even without the involvement of Roiland’s voice talents.
