Publisher THQ Nordic has announced Outcast: A New Beginning will release on 15th March, 2024.
The sci-fi action-adventure sequel sees original protagonist Cutter Slade return to the alien planet Adelpha in a bid to help the local Talans fend off invading humanoid robots and discover why he was sent back there.
The game was announced back in 2021 as Outcast 2: A New Beginning, but developer Appeal Studios dropped the 2 to make the game more approachable.
“We really want to make this approachable and accessible for everybody,” producer Andreas Schmiedecker told me at a digital preview event last week. “We want to emphasise that you don’t have to have played the first one, you don’t need to know the story [of the original game].”
