Outbreak Island News

What will the open world of Outbreak Island be like?

Hello detectives!

We continue to work on Outbreak Island, and today we want to tell you a little bit about the game’s open world.

As we have already mentioned, you will be surviving on Erlsen Island. The area of the island is about 16 square kilometers. We have chosen this size to avoid large boring spaces. However, we also hope that you will not get crowded on the island and enjoy both beautiful views and long journeys.



Speaking of travel. You can move in the open world not only on foot but also by car. But we will tell you more about this in the next development diaries!



The weather in Outbreak Island will constantly change. Rain, fog, cloud cover or sunny day will help or hinder your survival as a detective.

The time of day changes as well since we're talking about the changes! Imagine sitting in your camp at night with your tent by the fire, traps set around for safety, and a tripod-mounted camera allowing you to follow what's going on from the comfort of your seat. Scary, but atmospheric and even cozy!



Nature in the game is also quite diverse. For example, there are wolves, deer, and even bears on the island. You can hunt them or become a prey yourself.



Don't forget about the Transformed Ones. The former inhabitants of the island have gone mad from a mysterious experiment and now roam the island. They are aggressive, dangerous and know no fatigue. But you can blind them with a camera or fight back with a gun in your hands. Do you have enough ammunition though?

Outbreak Island: Halloween Update!

Hello, detectives!

Especially this Halloween, we decided to add some ominous pumpkins to the game! We also want to announce a new location, which you can find in the open-world - a mysterious cemetery, where it can be creepy even in the daytime.



If you like the look of this location, let us know in the comments or in the Discord server, and we might consider leaving those decorations forever :)

More news are coming soon, don't miss our updates!
