Double Fine Announces Headlander
Today, Double Fine Productions, the developers of such games as Broken Age and Brutal Legend, have announced their latest title: Headlander.
Headlander is a a retro-futuristic, side scrolling, action-adventure game set in a world inspired by 70s science fiction. It is a world of automation, a utopia gone wrong in which all of humanity have transferred their minds into robotic imposter bodies and are ruled by a deranged computer.
You'll play as the last known human in existence and all that's left of you is a disembodied head. Seeking clues to your fractured past, you must travel through a hostile world of machines, using a special helmet that allows you to dock into and take control of any robotic host body. As you launch from one body to the next, you'll start to discover that things are not quite what they appear to be, and the fate of humanity has yet to be decided...
As of now, we currently do not know which platforms Highlander will come to, but we do know that it'll arrive sometime in 2016. The announcement has come with a trailer, which you can watch now:
