Outward News

Fellow Adventurers of Aurai!

In less than a week, Outward will be celebrating its 3rd anniversary. It has been a long journey, and without you, our amazing players and community members, we wouldn’t be here today.

And so, we want to invite all of you to celebrate with us!



[h3]Birthday Live Stream[/h3]

On Friday, March 25th at 10:30 PST / 13:30 EST / 17:30 UTC / 18:30 CET we will be hosting a special live stream on our Nine Dots Studios Twitch channel here: ninedotsstudio - Twitch

We don’t want to give too much away yet, but Guillaume Boucher-Videl, CEO of Nine Dots Studio and Creative Lead of Outward will be hosting the stream and you'll be able to ask him questions live in the Twitch chat.

You will also be able to watch here on Steam, so don’t forget to set a reminder 😉

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

We are nearing the third anniversary of Outward's launch. To be honest, it would be expected that the game we made would no longer be relevant after so long, in an industry that churns out new games at a dizzying pace. At some point, we’ve all heard our fellow gamers talk of their backlog and how it keeps growing. It's why I always saw it as an immense privilege that our players came back to Outward over and over again.

The game we have today is surprisingly different from the game we launched nearly three years ago. Those who discovered Outward more recently might not even know that some hallmark features of the game, such as items being morphed through the legacy chest or the hardcore mode were added in a free content patch and were not in the base game.

We've improved the game's graphics and performance. We've added quality-of-life changes. We even added poutine! We spent years working on two gigantic paid expansions which brought the game further than anything we could have possibly imagined when we first launched Outward. We did all of this because we knew our players were hungry for more.

Of course, with time the audience dwindles. However, we want to do one last big push before focusing all our efforts on our next games. With the Definitive Edition, we are sending a clear message: now is the best time to play Outward. Especially if you want to play it on your new console.

We've faced a few delays. We've done the new console ports on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 internally rather than relying on external studios, and this meant learning and making some mistakes. Finding the right release date is quite challenging too, so we had to be patient. However, now we're getting close to the finish line, and we're ready to give you a first glimpse of what's coming. So here's the dev diary detailing the new content we're adding along with quality-of-life changes, optimizations and fixes:

We can't wait to see new players experience the world we’ve built for the first time with this more polished and expansive version of Outward, and also our veteran players adapting and rediscovering the game once more.


Edit, since we've been asked to clarify:

Players who already own the base game and the DLC "The Three Brothers" can redeem a free copy of the Definitive Edition! For those who haven't set foot into the world of Aurai yet: now would be the perfect time to explore the lands, so lace your boots and grab your backpacks, adventurers!

Hello adventurers,

we've just released a patch to fix and improve some issues.

Take a look at the patch notes below!

• Fix ambient sounds volume being set to 0 after a loading.
  
• Fix issue where shooting an arrow with a bow would have an offset and thus missing the target.
  
• Fix Raw damage being considered an elemental damage (It should not have been).
  
• Fix issue where a skill could not be activated if Health was under 1 even if the skill does not consume Health to activate it.
  
• Manually cooking Spiny Meringue will now work properly instead of guving food waste. (Auto recipe was already working properly)
  
• Condition to suggest Cierzo as a destination for Caravan is now checked when talking to them instead of when loading the area. This is to avoid a situation where Cierzo would get destroyed between the loading of the area and the player asking the Caravan to travel.
  
• Fix several items pricing that were modified in a previous patch and they should not have.
  

Wishing you an awesome time in Aurai!

From,
The OUTWARD Team.
