I Can Make Your Castle Rock
The We Were Here series has done sequel titles right. The second game was called We Were Here Too and now the fourth game has been announced and is called We Were Here Forever. Total Mayhem Games is back with the fourth entry to the series in five years. The We Were Here games all take place in Castle Rock, where the two players are split up, but must work through puzzles together to progress. Though at the end of the game, one of the players must stay behind to let the other escape.
In keeping with the earlier games’ format, players will once again return to Castle Rock and solve puzzles together, communicating via walkie-talkie. However, this game asks the question “What happened to those who got left behind… Or that creepy harlequin, the Jester?” Castle Rock seems to be covered in a supernatural veil, so maybe the castle transforms the people to had to stay. The short trailer shows the return of the Jester, but not much else in the way of gameplay or lore.
Surely, there will be more puzzles and more of the things that made fans love the previous games, but will there be anything that pushes the series forward? We will have to wait until later in the year when We Were Here Forever launches. We Were Here Forever is expected to come out in the fourth quarter of 2021 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
