This game, i asked the devs a ton fo times to enable steam cloud saves, they dont care, disgusting.

Really unique game and setting in Outward. Kinda hard to get into and obtuse at times. Never finished it but got pretty far. Looking forward to Outward 2.

For sure. I think I tried three separate times, but in the end it just wasn't for me.

I hope they tone down the survival elements a little for the sequel.

I enjoyed the first two areas but lost steam after that.

Grats to the devs! Greatly looking forward to Outward 2.

You lost Steam? Can you play it on Gog instead?

I've started Outward a dozen times but the long empty areas were just too dull. They need to condense their content for the next game. Either that or add a massive amount of more meaningful content. The factions are miles apart and there is no infrastructure to explain why that is so.

I played quite a few sessions of this with a friend in co-op, but eventually we got sick of the high risk for little reward. A lot of potential, but the content was a little too sparse, and the gameplay a little too punishing.

One of their primary objectives for Outward 2 is to give life to the wilderness areas beyond things to kill.

Also, will put this here, a message on their discord:

We have been asked thousands of times when you can expect Outward 2 to release...

We are happy to announce that the release window trailer for Outward 2 will be revealed during the Tokyo Game Show direct this Sunday! We will be live on Twitch during the show to watch the trailer with you guys. Come chat with us and enjoy the show.

I'll try it if I get access, ya. Keen on seeing how more fluid the combat is.

A playtest? In Haboob? Next week?

Yep, it’s happening; Your first small glimpse of Outward 2 before our larger playtest, scheduled in Early 2026. We received so many registrations! Thank you!!! The playtest will run from December 9th to December 15th. To be fully transparent, because this is a first and highly experimental phase, we will only be inviting a limited portion of players that registered on our website. You can still register now and have a chance to get access next week! Register here: https://ninedotsstudio.com/playtest-registration/

This version of the game that you will be testing is expected to be very broken. The goal is to stress-test our online infrastructure and take it to the limit. That’s where we need your help. Your valuable feedback will help us create the best version of the game we can.

If you are selected to take part in the Playtest, you will receive an email from Nine Dots Studio with more information on December 9th. Do not forget to check your spam folder!
