Journey Across A Vast, Fantasy World When OUTWARD: DEFINTIVE EDITION Launches This Month
Outward: Definitive Edition is making the leap to current-gen consoles on May 17th with a rerelease that will see all the game’s original content and DLC bundled into one complete package. This new edition of Nine Dots Studio cooperative, survival RPG includes the base game, both “The Three Brothers” and “The Soroboreans” expansions, and a slew of new content to challenge both new and returning players.
Outward: Definitive Edition tells the story of a common adventurer seeking to rid themselves of a punishing blood debt that has dogged their family for generations. But ridding their bloodline of this debt is just the beginning, as a mysterious pestilence known as the ‘Corruption’ is slowly spreading across the land. In order to deal with the corruption, as well as the monsters it creates, players will need to align with one of three factions, each with its own philosophies and worldviews. The game’s story changes depending on which faction players choose.
Nine Dots is a small developer based in Quebec City, Canada, and they pride themselves on their ability to make large-scale gaming experiences without the need for a huge team or unhealthy work practices. For Outward: Definitive Edition, Nine Dots has partnered with Prime Matter, the Munich-based publisher that functions as the premium title publisher for Koch Media.
Outward: Definitive Edition will launch on May 17th, 2022, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Additionally, PC players who already own the base game and “The Three Brothers” DLC will be eligible for a copy of the Definitive Edition at no extra charge.
