Justin Roiland Elements Methods With ‘Excessive On Life’ Studio Squanch Video games

Justin Roiland was on the prime of his recreation by the top of 2022. Excessive on life, you would possibly say.

Rick And Morty, the animated grownup TV present he co-created with Dan Harmon, was extra in style than ever. His new online game, Excessive On Life, rocketed to Xbox Recreation Cross’s primary title of the yr.

All of it got here crashing down on January twelfth, 2023 when information broke that Roiland had been charged with a felony home violence grievance in Might of 2020. Roiland pleaded not responsible and was launched on a $50,000 bond in August, 2020, however the case remained underneath wraps till this yr, with a trial set to start on April twenty seventh in Orange County, CA.

Earlier, I wrote about Adult Swim cutting ties with Roiland, selecting to recast each Rick and Morty, with Harmon taking up as showrunner. I argued that they need to simply cancel the present and begin one thing new that’s not so deeply tied to Roiland. Prefer it or not, Rick And Morty is Roiland’s child, and you may’t actually separate the 2 simply by recasting the principle characters.

Now, Squanch Video games—which Roiland co-founded in 2016, has introduced Roiland’s resignation from the studio.
