What is happening now

We Were Here is an asymmetrical co-op puzzle adventure series from Total Mayhem Games, where players must communicate and collaborate to solve environmental mysteries. The original launched in 2017 and has since expanded across multiple platforms. The franchise is moving forward with We Were Here Tomorrow, the next entry in the series set to launch this October. The sequel returns players to icy wastelands and introduces the retro-futuristic Norček Industries as a new setting filled with strange locales. Like its predecessors, Tomorrow emphasizes asymmetrical puzzle design that requires coordinated teamwork between players, with the game confirmed for Xbox Series X|S alongside other platforms.
