Total Mayhem Games has announced that their latest project, We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip, experienced an astonishing response from players and the gaming community. The game, which launched unexpectedly on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, saw over three million players join in for co-op action and collect achievements during its first weekend.
Executive producer Geoff van den Ouden expressed his surprise and gratitude in a press release, stating, “We are blown away by not just the community’s response, but the response of the industry as a whole to the surprise launch of our newest project, We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip. The game is a token of appreciation to all the Explorers who have supported us this far as well as a great ride for newcomers to jump onto. This first weekend we welcomed 3 million Explorers onto ‘The FriendShip’, surpassing all our biggest expectations!”
We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip maintains the co-op puzzle gameplay that the mainline series entries are known for. It also offers cross-play functionality with PlayStation and PC, allowing players from different platforms to join forces. The game features walkie-talkies for communication between players, adding to the immersive experience. However, what sets We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip apart is its shorter gameplay length. Players can complete the game in just a few hours, making it perfect for those looking for a bite-sized gaming experience.
For those interested in trying out the game, there is a free ten-hour trial available on the Xbox Store until October 14. Additionally, the full game can be purchased for £2.99 / $3.99 / €3.99. With an estimated completion time of two to three hours to unlock all achievements, players have ample time to finish the game before the trial period ends.
If players enjoy We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip, the recommendation is to explore the four mainline We Were Here games. These titles offer great entertainment and present challenging puzzles that put friendships to the test. While using a guide is an option, it is recommended to rely on teamwork and communication skills to fully immerse oneself in the gaming experience.
This unexpected success of We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip showcases the strong appeal of cooperative puzzle games and highlights the growing popularity of the We Were Here franchise within the gaming community.
