Outcast 2: A New Beginning
Speaking of surprising developments, Outcast 2: A New Beginning is a thing! THQ Nordic is reviving the series properly this time by supporting the development of a brand new game in the series.
In what should be pleasant news to fans of the original game, Appeal Studios, the team that made the first Outcast, will be back to work on A New Beginning.
As for what you can expect, there’s not a whole bunch known yet, but it does look very pretty in the in-game trailer shown above. We do know that Outcast 2 will be an open-world, action-adventure game set in 3rd person with a non-linear story that will progress depending on player actions.
An official description, though, gives us a little insight on the story at least:
“Twenty years after the events of the first game, Adelpha finds itself under threat of invasion: ruthless corporations are exploiting the planet and are enslaving and even killing the people. Cutter’s mission is clear: organize a resistance, rescue the people, and get rid of the invaders.”
