Outcast - A New Beginning is an open-world, action-adventure that features fast-paced, third-person combat as well as a non-linear science-fantasy story with dynamic plot progress based on player actions.

Your friendly neighborhood invader-slayer is back: Cutter Slade returns to the spectacular alien world of Adelpha in Outcast 2 - A New Beginning.

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.

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.

Resurrected by the almighty Yods, Cutter Slade 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 Outcast 1, Appeal Studios from Belgium, 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.

Outcast - A New Beginning, reveals an exciting new combat trailer, showcasing the dynamic and strategic elements that await you in this immersive gaming experience. Modify your weapons on the fly, harness powerful gadgets and ancient abilities, and tame the local wildlife to drive back the invaders! 

  • Modular Gun
    Throughout the game, you’ll find more than 30 different weapon modules that change the behaviour of your gun. Combine modules to try different combat styles! With 24 different modules (8 are doubled) and up to 6 weapon slots, the number of combinations is massive. Spoiler: it's over 9000! If we consider all possible options, we’re talking 906.192 combinations - feel free to do the math.
  • Shield
    Use your shield to defend yourself - or to attack! It works both as an offensive and defensive weapon.
  • Jetpack
    Your jetpack allows you to travel quickly but also aids in combat. Upgrade it as you progress through the game!
  • Talan Powers
    You'll acquire helpful abilities by finishing a village quest – like anti-gravity powers or flying creatures dropping bombs on enemies. Those powers are a part of the natural ecosystem of Adelpha. But keep in mind: The better the job you did in helping those villages, the stronger your powers will be.

Key Features:

  • use your jetpack to jump, air-dash, glide, and quickly traverse the fantastic in-game open world
  • combine dozens of different modules to create your own personal weapon for taking down the robot invaders
  • have total control to approach the story at your own pace in this non-linear world
  • explore the world without boundaries, discover hidden temples and dangerous wildlife
  • get familiar with the Talan culture while helping them free their villages and gain access to ancient Talan powers that use forces of nature to destroy your enemies
  • experience a beautiful, hand-crafted world accompanied by an epic soundtrack by Outcast’s original composer, Lennie Moore
