The sci-fi shooter sequel is coming this winter.

HIGH ON LIFE 2 Official Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 - YouTube
High on Life's yapping alien guns were not to everyone's taste (we gave it a 40% in our review), and although the sequel revealed today at the Xbox Games Showcase still features big-mouthed firearms (how could it not?), the trailer focused much more on fancy skateboarding and fast shooting.
With the caveat that this looks more like a choreographed statement of intent than a proper gameplay reveal, it does look like a lot of fun to me.
According to the trailer, High on Life 2 will be out this winter.
