Two-and-a-half minutes of groovy action-platforming await in this new gameplay video for Headlander, the totally far-out action-platformer published by Adult Swim Games and developed by Double Fine. Kick back, chill and take in all the new sights and sounds, including never-before-seen locations like the Moon Base and Power Dome, along with funky new abilities like the Overclock dash attack and Auto Sentry ability. Can you dig it?
Headlander launches late July on PlayStation 4 and PC.
Reviews
“It leans into its bizarre personality, doubles down on the Buck Rogers-inspired aesthetic, and dresses it all up in blistering-bright colors, a grainy sci-fi movie filter, and some surprising and gorgeous presentation.”
IGN
“You can also play as a robot dog with a human head, which is really all you should need to know.”
Twinfinite
“…the appeal in Headlander is not just this bizarre set-up, but also the comedy it enables.”

About Headlander
You are the last known human in the universe, and all that’s left of you is a disembodied head. Seeking clues to your fractured past, you must travel through a hostile world of machines using a special helmet that allows you to dock into and take control of any robotic host body. As you launch from one body to the next, you’ll start to discover that things are not quite what they appear to be, and the fate of humanity has yet to be decided…
Fresh from Double Fine Productions, Headlander is a a retro-futuristic, side-scrolling, action-adventure game set in a world inspired by 70’s science fiction. It is a world of automation, a utopia gone wrong in which all of humanity have transferred their minds into robotic imposter bodies and are ruled by a deranged computer. Brought to you by Double Fine Productions (Psychonauts, Broken Age) and Adult Swim Games (Duck Game, Jazzpunk), Headlander is guaranteed to be the ultimate head trip.
