About Outcast - A New Beginning

Outcast - A New Beginning poster

Outcast - A New Beginning arrives 20 years after the original Outcast helped pioneer non-linear open-world games, bringing back Cutter Slade to the spectacular alien world of Adelpha. Resurrected by the almighty Yods, he returns to find the Talan people enslaved, the world stripped of its natural resources, and his own past tangled up with invading robot forces. Once again, it falls to him to save the planet.

The original team behind Outcast has reunited to build this world, filled with dangerous creatures and home to the Talans, an ancient culture whose destiny has become inseparably linked to Earth since the first game. You play as Slade, an ex-Navy SEAL who still carries the same dry wit he had back in the 90s, even as the world around him transforms and, in time, changes him too.

Saving Adelpha means using a jetpack to jump, air-dash, and glide swiftly across the open world, combining dozens of modules to craft your own personal weapon against the robot invaders, and approaching the story at your own pace in a world without boundaries. You'll uncover hidden temples, brave dangerous wildlife, and immerse yourself in Talan culture, freeing villages and unlocking ancient powers. This action-driven open-world adventure brings Slade's return to PC.
