Outward 2 Announced for PC and Consoles

Nine Dots Publishing and developer Nine Dots Studio have announced the action RPG sequel Outward 2. It will launch for PC via Steam and unspecified consoles. A release date has yet to be announced. In  Outward 2, players will “explore a breathing world with year long calendar of events, unrivaled unique encounters, and refined combat.” An announcement trailer was also released.

The game’s details via the publisher:

Developed in the footsteps of the original successful game (more than 1.3 million units sold), the open-world RPG Outward 2 will improve the gaming experience in every aspect. Get ready to explore a breathing world with year long calendar of events, unrivaled unique encounters, and refined combat.

Key Features

A World Feeling More Alive Than Ever – Countless non-combat encounters, impactful day / night cycles and seasonal weather conditions affecting NPCs’ behavior, and meaningful encounters for a poignant deeper story.

Improved Character Creation and Progression – Major overhaul in the character’s appearance customization, brand new exercise tree, tasks to unlock improvements, and more.

A Refined Combat System – Improved combat responsiveness and addition of the much requested dual-wielding!

Outward details:

Outward is an open-world fantasy adventure game featuring deep simulation and immersion. In it, players will experience an entirely new kind of RPG, where they play the role of a true inhabitant of a sprawling world, requiring biological maintenance and self-preservation against a harsh, uncaring environment. These simulation aspects also extend to the game’s representation of magic as an intricate web of rituals required to evoke supernatural powers. The game also packs a surprising feature: two-player local and online multiplayer, with local split-screen. This feature allows two friends to share a journey knowing they have at least one ally at their side and offers unique opportunities for strategy.

Key Features

Survive in the wilds as you explore a vast and harsh land.
Play solo or cooperatively, split-screen locally or online.
Ritualistic, step-by-step approach to spellcasting.
Constant auto-saving means you must live with your decisions.
Encounter dynamic defeat scenarios.
A unique experience with every playthrough.
