Press release:
Vienna, Austria / Charleroi, Belgium – December 4, 2023.
The Vienna-based (Austria) video games publisher THQ Nordic and Charleroi-based (Belgium) indie games developer Appeal Studios, are today very happy and excited to announce that their sci-fi open-world adventure/action game “Outcast – A New Beginning“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) on March 15th next year (2024).

Get ready to immerse yourself in the captivating alien realm of Adelpha, uncover its mysteries, and enjoy the galaxy’s wittiest dad jokes, skillfully delivered by our hero, Cutter Slade. 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.

Outcast – A New Beginning / Overview

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.

The stakes are high, though, Cutter Slade brings dry humor to the forefront, adding a touch of wit to the intense storyline. Rediscover the awe-inspiring game world reminiscent of the beloved Outcast 1, while offering something totally fresh and accessible for newcomers. Every corner is brimming with wonders and surprises!

Outcast – A New Beginning is being developed by Appeal Studios in Charleroi, Belgium and will be available March 15th, 2024 for PC at an SRP of € 59.99 / $ 59.99 / £ 49.99, and PlayStation5 & Xbox Series at an SRP of € 69.99 / $ 69.99 / £ 59.99.
