Released in 1999, Outcast was a pioneer in the open-world video game format. It was hailed by critics and received numerous awards for the quality of its graphics and innovative gameplay. It’s become a milestone in the history of video games.

Now comes an expanded version in full HD of the original adventure game. Fantastic and futuristic, the graphics of Outcast – Second Contact will be cutting-edge, and controls are being reworked for optimum immersion.

Outcast takes place in the near future when Humanity has just discovered the existence of a parallel world, Adelpha. The American government, which was behind the discovery, sends a probe there to investigate. The experiment is a success but a native of Adelpha, a Talan, attacks the probe and causes a distortion of space-time that threatens to destroy the Earth.

You are Cutter Slade, a former Special Forces operative, assigned to escort a group of scientists sent to locate and repair the probe. Nothing goes as planned, however, and you find yourself embarked on an adventure on an unknown planet, with the future of two worlds in your hands.

OUTCAST – Second Contact will be presented for the very first time by Appeal Studio during Gamescom 2016 in Cologne later this month. The franchise will celebrate its return in March 2017 on Windows, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One.
