Outernauts, a completely new intellectual property and game built for Facebook, will launch this summer, EA and Insomniac Games have announced.
Outernauts is an adventure RPG that casts players as members of United Earth’s elite Outernaut force. The Outernauts are charged with capturing and training exotic alien beasts as they uncover the riddle behind mysterious ‘ancients’ while battling pirates and evil corporations seeking to control the galaxy.
Players will explore planets, harvest loot, and fight asynchronously alongside or against friends to master a wild, untamed universe.
“We see a huge opportunity to reach an entirely different audience of gamers through Facebook,” said Ted Price, president and founder of Insomniac Games. “As we have demonstrated for nearly twenty years in the console games space, we’re confident we can help evolve the definition of a game experience on Facebook. With Outernauts, we are delivering a deep story with real RPG strategy, coupled with Insomniac’s signature sense of humour.”
The game is currently in closed beta and Insomniac plans to launch on Facebook this summer.
