Outcast: A New Beginning returns players to the beloved adventure franchise on March 15, 2024, publisher THQ Nordic and developer Appeal Studio have announced.
After being announced at THQ Nordic's Digital Showcase in August 2022, Outcast: A New Beginning is finally just a few months away. Acting as a sequel to 1999's Outcast, players will be reunited with marine Cutter Slade in a brand new adventure.
"Get ready to immerse yourself in the captivating alien realm of Adelpha, uncover its mysteries, and enjoy the galaxy's wittiest dad jokes, skilfully delivered by our hero, Cutter Slade," reads the official synopsis. "Outcast offers a slightly self-ironic yet wholesome take on sci-fi themes and tropes, injecting a sense of fun into a planetary-wide uprising against ruthless robotic invaders.
"Weapon upgrades, aliens and monsters (who can also be predators) - you will find all of this in Appeal Studio's and THQ Nordic's upcoming open-world action-adventure Outcast: A New Beginning. Play as Cutter Slade, ex-Navy SEAL, and gain the trust of the local Talans. Engage in guerilla warfare such as destroying enemy ammo convoys to weaken bases and freely choosing where to launch the next attack, shaping the success of the Talan uprising."
Outcast: A New Beginning will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S (at $69.99 / $59.99) and on PC (at $59.99 / £49.99).
