Nine Dots Studio has unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming adventure Outward 2 and announced its release date: summer 2026.
The developers themselves call Outward 2 a full-fledged adventurer’s life simulator. It will invite gamers to embark on a “realistic and deeply human journey with all the challenges that come with it.”
The RPG will take place in the picturesque world of Auraia. The developers promise detailed development: for example, the changing seasons and weather will affect NPC behavior, the increased weight of the protagonist’s armor will reduce their movement speed, and each weapon type will have its own set of special moves.
In the released trailer, the developers showed how the protagonist can set up his daily life in the field. Finding himself on a snowy plateau somewhere high in the mountains, the hero quickly lit a fire, pitched a tent, and went hunting. In his confrontation with the monster, he used magic and strategically placed traps.
Outward 2 testing is now open. Anyone interested can request access directly on Steam or on the developers’ website.
Meanwhile, the original Outward recently surpassed 3 million players.
