During the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2022 event, publisher THQ Nordic and developer Appeal Studios revealed a new trailer for the upcoming open-world action game Outcast 2: A New Beginning. The original team behind the first Outcast has also returned to develop the sequel. The game takes place 20 years after the first game and follows Cutter Slade and his return to the alien world of Adelpha, where his mission is to save the planet yet again. Outcast 2: A New Beginning will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.
The game’s details via THQ Nordic can be seen below:
20 years after the award-winning action adventure hit, Outcast, pioneered the genre of non-linear open-world games, the long-awaited sequel sees Cutter Slade return to the spectacular alien world of Adelpha. Resurrected by the almighty Yods, he has returned to find the Talans enslaved, the world stripped of its natural resources, and his own past intertwining with the invading robot forces. It’s up to him to go on a mission and save the planet again.
The original team behind the original Outcast has reunited to create this fascinating world, full of dangerous creatures and home to the Talan people—an ancient culture whose fate has become inextricably linked with earth since the events of the first game. You play as Cutter Slade, ex-Navy SEAL, sporting the same dry wit he had back in the ’90s—however, the world around him has changed and eventually, so will he.
