It’s been one whole year since we launched We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip, and what an incredible year it’s been! Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit the exciting moments from the reveal of this special game.
After the release of We Were Here Forever in 2022, our team started plotting the next chapter in the We Were Here series. With Forever being our longest and most intricate adventure, packed with puzzles, mysteries, and expansive locations, we knew we wanted to offer something a little different next. This time, we aimed for something short, sweet, and perfect for explorers who want a bite-sized co-op experience. We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip was born: a game designed to be fun, challenging, and most of all, an absolute blast to play with your friends, whether they’re seasoned fans of the We Were Here series or joining us for the first time.
Now, we couldn’t just launch The FriendShip like any ordinary game. No, we wanted to do something BIG, something that would surprise and delight our amazing community! So, we decided to go full stealth mode, keeping the entire game a secret until its grand reveal at WASD x IGN. And what’s better than a surprise? A free surprise! 🎁 We dropped the game for free for the first month, allowing millions of you to hop aboard and set sail on this new co-op adventure. The response was overwhelming! Over 6 million explorers claimed The FriendShip, joining our ever-growing We Were Here family. 💖
At Total Mayhem Games, friendship is the heart and soul of everything we create. It’s the thread that ties all our games together, and it’s the bond we share with you, our amazing explorers. We simply couldn’t have reached this point without your endless love and support. And guess what? There’s more on the horizon! We've got some exciting stuff coming up. So stay tuned, and always remember: “There are good ships, and wood ships, ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be!” Here’s to many more adventures together!
