The game is set far in the future, after a mysterious AI called Methuselah has enslaved all of mankind, and sees players trying to free the automated remains of humanity. Just a super-special helmet that makes you just as immortal as the robots you’re fighting and the ability to dock said helmet into the necks of any automaton in the game. Just in case you aren’t familiar, Headlander is a 2.5D action-platformer that casts as the last flesh and blood human in the cosmos. As an added bonus, the two companies also published a new Headlander story trailer to continue building excitement among the PC and PS4 communities. Really, all Adult Swim has to do is promise Double Fine gets to make a Venture Brothers game if this sells well, and it’s in the bag.Headlander finally has a concrete release date, Double Fine and Adult Swim Games announced this week, and the upcoming action-platformer will apparently join a litany of other indie titles getting last-minute July launches.
There’s no release date beyond 2016 just yet, but everybody will get a crack at it the game is arriving for both PC and consoles. What that’s useful for, we’re not sure, but we’re looking forward to finding out. Fortunately, these robots have dockable slots on their bodies for you to rest your head, allowing you to gun down foes and take advantage of unique abilities like trotting around as if you were riding a horse. The basic plot is that you’re the last flesh-and-blood human in a world of robots where everybody’s made themselves into a digital consciousness. Headlander, though, takes it to a new level now you’re a disembodied head landing on and taking over various robot bodies. Costume Quest had finding pieces of your costume as a gameplay mechanic. Stacking had you nest in various Russian dolls to get their powers. Double Fine is never less than… let’s say “unique” in their take on video games and their basic concepts, and one of the company’s hallmarks is changing clothes to change your abilities.
