We Happy Few’s First Story DLC “They Came From Below” Introduces Alien Robots in Launch Trailer

During Gearbox’s PAX East panel last week, the publisher announced that the first of three DLC drops for We Happy Few would be releasing this week. Well, that DLC, titled “They Came From Below,” is out now and to commemorate its release, Compulsion Games has dropped a new launch trailer with hints at what players can expect.

The trailer starts with the DLC’s two main characters, James and Roger, discovering that Wellington Wells is under attack by robots. Soon after that, our two characters find an underground secret base where they find ray guns, robots, portals and more.

After messing around with the ray gun, James and Roger open a portal that soon gives way to a robots upon robots, mechanical beings they learn are not of their planet. This puts James and Roger on the move to save Wellington Wells from what’s happening down below.

Here’s what Compulsion Games has to say about the DLC:

Wellington Wells stands besieged by a robot uprising, but the mechanized menace isn’t the only thing threatening to tear the pair apart. Play as Roger and team up with your boyfriend James to find Dr. Faraday, explore a vast underground laboratory, and discover the source of the robot invaders before it’s too late!”
