Cyanide & Happiness – Freakpocalypse Announced For Nintendo Switch Coming Summer 2020
Coming Summer 2020 for Nintendo Switch consoles is a brand-new adventure/puzzle game from Serenity Forge and Explosm called Cyanide & Happiness – Freakpocalypse.
Taking place in the Cyanide & Happiness universe, you play as a weird, unpopular, ginger-headed orphan, and it’s time to save the world.
As Coop “Go Away, Weirdo” McCarthy, all you want to do is make the world a better place. The trouble is: Nobody likes you, school sucks, you can’t find a prom date, everybody bullies you (including your teachers), and your attempts to help only makes things worse.
Our Take
This looks great! It’s like playing through an episode of Cyanide & Happiness and what a better time to be alive if you’re a redhead like me. We need more games starring gingers, here’s hoping this starts a trend.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
