After 8 years. 4 different studios, several adventures, many experiences and learnings, we have now Outward in our hands but we also have a new office
Since June, we live in new premises and we are very happy with that!
Still in Quebec City, Nine Dots is growing and growing.
Thanks to every Outward player. You are all responsible for the success of the game.
We are grateful every day !
Today we finally have new patches up for all platforms. On PC, this is the same patch as currently on the experimental branch on Steam.

Consoles specific:
- Enhanced quality of textures - Performance improved in several areas
All platforms:
