'Heading Out' Publishing Picked Up By Saber Interactive, Gets May Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 27, 2024 @ 5:00 a.m. PST

Heading Out is a narrative adventure with roguelite elements inspired by cult classic road movies like Thelma & Louise and Vanishing Point.

Hop into a muscle car and drive through the American West in a game inspired by 1970s road movies. Enjoy the ride in this narrative-driven racing experience with a comic book aesthetic. Choose your own route across the USA in a game where every run is a personalized, unique experience, an unpredictable thrill ride shaped by the decisions you make.

Welcome to the mythical American West. You’re a vigilante driving across the country in a muscle car. How fast can you go coast to coast? Who or what are you running from? Are you looking for an adventure? Or do you want to get lost on the highways carved in vast American plains?

Hop into a classic muscle car, tune in to a great Americana soundtrack and go on a drive through the American West. Run from the police, chase other drivers, maneuver in traffic, break through a sandstorm, contemplate views during a peaceful night ride through the desert… And most of all: enjoy the ride!

Choose your path across America. Keep an eye on your fuel meter, car condition and wanted level. Think strategically. Study the map. Meet mysterious travelers, make interesting choices and discover fascinating sites. Will you help a stranger? Will you leave your past in the dust? Will you take up the challenge to a duel on the blacktop? Build a legend that is uniquely yours.

Every time you click New Story, a new adventure is created. You can become someone completely different, encounter new events and make different, meaningful choices. After completing a run, you can immortalize your adventure and share it with other players!

It's not about the destination – it's about your journey.
