Yesterday came official word that Xbox Live Arcade game Happy Tree Friend: False Alarm is scheduled to release to the XBLA on June 25th (odd, seeing that we knew that a few weeks ago) and with said announcement comes a brand new trailer. It's a "Wacky Gameplay" trailer full of cute animals, dismemberment, screaming and enough animated blood to fill up all of Cliff's Gears of War 2 blood buckets. We're interested not only because we have a small chunk of our heart dedicated to those Happy Tree Friends, but also because we are suckers for video game violence. We always say, the more "icky" the better.

Video: Happy Tree Friends and buckets of blood
Yesterday came official word that Xbox Live Arcade game Happy Tree Friend: False Alarm is scheduled to release to the XBLA on June 25th (odd, seeing that we knew that a few weeks ago) and with said announcement comes a brand new trailer.

Happy Tree Friends: FA delayed into May
After questioning our own investigative work we can now brag that we were right all along. Ha! Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm not only slipped from a second week April release to April 21st, but has now slipped yet again to a general May release according to IGN. And we suspect the addition of a Japanese and Korean XBLA release is to blame. So, while we take a longer than expected wait, we figure what better time to watch an episode of Happy Tree Friends than now? Go ahead and give it a watch, though it may not be suitable for adolescent viewing. It's actually quite disturbing.
Rumor: Happy Tree Friends: FA delayed yet again
Our confusion stems from a "Latest News" post over on the official website for Happy Tree Friends which mentions that "due to the expansion of the game launch to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea, the 'False Alarm' game will now push back to a later date." That's pretty cut and dry if it weren't for the fact that the the news post doesn't have a time stamp or any reference to when it was published. So, this delay news could be weeks old and refer back to the original delay from the second week of April to April 21st, or it's a brand new delay that pushes False Alarm back even further. Hence the mildly confusing "rumor" tag. Get it? Okay, good ...

No false alarm, Happy Tree Friends headed to XBLA
The bloody, quirky, disgusting and mildly entertaining Happy Tree Friends cartoon is making its way from your television set onto the Xbox Live Arcade. Today, SEGA announced that Happy Tree Friends False Alarm will make an XBLA release sometime this Fall and should bring all the mischief and death any Happy Tree Friends fanboy would demand. Developer Stainless Games promises 10 levels and a handful of the franchises' characters where players take part in 3D physics and puzzle games. You know the drill, teaser trailer embedded above and really pinkified screenshots are available in the gallery below.
