We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games has released a new update for its drug-fuelled actioner, featuring content promised back in 2015 during its Kickstarter period.

Arcade Mode is the main highlight here, arriving with We Happy Few update 1.7 for all platforms. It's free, and features three new ways to play the game: Survival, Night's Watch, and Sandbox.

Survival is based on the Early Access version of We Happy Few, where players must hunt for resources such as food and water, as well as finding a place to take shelter. The goal is to survive as long as possible, utilising all the skills available to you (stealth, combat, and crafting).

Next up is Night's Watch, which gives you the chance to pop into the boots of Constable Bobby. This promises 'fast-paced combat' as you attempt to keep the Downers out of town while making sure you don't run out of Joy.

Finally, Sandbox offers up the chance to 'experiment with world generation systems and gameplay options,' with no narrative and goals to distract you.
