High on Life 2 for Nintendo Switch 2 has been delayed. The game was originally set to launch on April 20–a date with the same humorous association as the game’s title–but it’s now coming out in July. The franchise is called High on Life in the first place because the plot involves aliens coming to Earth and using humans as a recreational drug, so 4/20 would have been very fitting for a release date.
Developer Squanch Games said in a statement that it aims to release the “highest quality experiences,” and to that end, it’s delaying the Switch 2 version to July 1, 2026. “The additional elbow grease towards production will ultimately allow the studio to better meet not only our high standards for gaming, but yours as well,” the studio said.
Digital preorders will be canceled, while physical preorders are intact through this change, Squanch said. “We appreciate your patience and continued support!” the studio added.
It’s always a bit disappointing to hear about delays, but it’s great to know the developers are taking the time to ensure the game meets expectations. Looking forward to seeing what High On Life 2 brings when it finally releases!
