Via a new year round up blog post, Compulsion Games have confirmed that their intriguing We Happy Few will indeed launch via Xbox Game Preview in mid-2016.

The game was first announced in February 2015, and Microsoft showed the game during their Gamescom press briefing. It was initially rumoured by a couple of outlets that the game would hit Game Preview towards the back end of 2015. However, it appears that was never going to be the case. Since then, there's been some expansion to the scope of the game and a few changes to the Contrast developer's staffing setup, but the team will launch the game on Game Preview and Steam Early Access at the same time later this year. As for an exact date? Well, "mid-2016" is the best you're going to get for now.

The somewhat unnerving Gamescom trailer is below, so you can take a look and see what you should be looking forward to.

Without a doubt, We Happy Few is towards the top of our most anticipated list, and we'll bring you more launch information just as soon as we have it.
