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.

The latest trailer for Outcast - A New Beginning takes you on a fantastic journey with the Ulukaï - the name given to our hero, Cutter Slade, by the Talans.

He is the chosen one destined to reunite the people of Adelpha and liberate it from the invaders!

As you jetpack across Adelpha, upgrading your skills, weapons, and mystic powers, you’ll encounter its people, the Talans, in need of help against an invading menace. You’ll destroy ammo convoys to weaken enemy bases, master village quests to strengthen the Talans’ resolve, and even nurture the local flora and fauna by clearing environmental threats.

Discover how all living things on Adelpha coexist in harmony and learn how to forge alliances or gain powerful abilities.

Each action is felt across Adelpha, and you’ll see it visibly flourish around you as you accomplish more of your quest. Village stocks will replenish to provide you with helpful items, lush vegetation will sprout once again, and you may even make a critter friend or two.

Think strategically and act as a true hero, making a difference wherever you go.

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

Outcast - A New Beginning is coming soon to PS5, and Xbox Series X|S and PC.
