YOUR CHANCE TO EXPLORE OUTWARD: DEFINITIVE EDITION ON PS5 and XBOX SERIES X/S

Base game, Two DLCs and a plethora of new and updated content

(RELEASE TIME: 19PM CET) 10 March 2022, Munich, Germany: Outward – the open-world RPG where you can explore the dangerous and vast world of Aurai alone or with your friend – is coming soon to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S for the first time as Outward: Definitive Edition as well as PC.

Along with the base game, the Definitive Edition will contain two DLCs - The Three Brothers and The Soroboreans – along with new content and numerous quality of life updates and play balancing adjustments.

Seasoned adventurers will face new challenges in the Definitive Edition of Outward in the form of new unique encounters in dungeons, new defeat scenarios and some new diseases too.

Players can also look forward to a raft of updates improving their journey through Aurai.

For example, they will be able to access their stash while visiting a friend’s world, enchanting will be less finicky and there will be totem workshops in every region.

Crafting will be more accessible as well and making the world of Outward feel more cohesive, corruption hazards (that were previously DLC exclusive) will spread throughout the game. There are, of course, many other changes and challenges for experienced players to sink their teeth into with Outward: Definitive Edition.

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 didn’t set foot into the world of Aurai yet: well now would be the perfect time to explore the lands, so lace your boots and grab your backpacks, adventurers!
