Outcast: Second Contact – the remake of 1999 PC adventure Outcast – will release on PS4, Xbox One and PC in March 2017, publisher Bigben Interactive has revealed.
The remake, which is being developed by the original game’s developer Appeal, promises “cutting edge graphics and reworked controls for optimum immersion”. You can check out the first screenshots here.
“Outcast takes place in the near future when Humanity has just discovered the existence of a parallel world, Adelpha,” says Bigben. “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.”
More details on Outcast: Second Contact will be revealed at Gamescom next week.
