Since its release in 2019, the RPG Outward fed content through recurring updates and DLCs. This year, Nine Dots Studio is putting an end to the adventure by announcing Outward: Definitive Edition. A good opportunity to get started by taking advantage of this synthesis.
Into the Wild
In addition to porting the game to PS5 and Xbox Series X, Outward: Definitive Edition will benefit from a bunch of improvements thanks to the many player feedbacks since its initial release. Here are some mentioned by the developers (non-exhaustive list):
- A simpler enchantment system
- A better menu for crafting
- Access to your cooperative stock
- Better distribution of materials for New Sirocco
It will also feature the two big DLCs released so far: The Fire Brothers & The Soroboreans. In order to make the universe more coherent, the studio has dispersed the characteristics (formerly concentrated in new areas) of its DLCs, such as corruption or gauntlets, in all environments. Additionally, some areas, such as Vendavel Fortress and the interconnected dungeons below the Ancient Plateau, have been reworked to make them more appealing.
Long-time players will also be able to enjoy new content with the addition of unique encounters in most dungeons, and new scenarios that trigger in the event of defeat. Let us also specify that
This final point is also an opportunity to thank the community while saying goodbye to this title which still benefited from a good follow-up. Nine Dots still takes the opportunity to tease us with their next game who should be as bold asOutward.
Outward: Definitive Edition is expected for this month of May on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
