Headlander

Broken Age and Psychonauts developer Double Fine Productions has announced its next upcoming game – Headlander, an action side-scroller whose concept is as unorthodox as they come.

Published by Adult Swim Games, Headlander takes place in a 70’s style sci-fi universe where humans have their minds transplanted into robot bodies. This has caused a shocking drop in actual human heads apparently since the world is now run by an insane computer and you’re the only human head left that can do something about it. Players will use a special helmet to attach to robotic bodies within the game’s space station and explore clues related to their past.

Check out the reveal trailer of the game below along with the official website. Headlander will release in 2016 for consoles and PC. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months. Thoughts on this newest game from Double Fine? Let us know in the comments below.
