Outward is a new open-word RPG developed by indie developer Nine Dots and Deep Silver is partnering up with them to release the game next year. Both of them have officially revealed the release date of the game along with a new trailer which shows the game in action.
Outward is an open-world fantasy adventure game which offers deep simulation mechanics and an immersive world to the players. The developers are trying to reinvent the RPG genre with new mechanics and trying to create something totally unique.
Unlike most RPGs where players are someone out of the world or players coming to a new place and exploring it for the first time, Outward aims differently. In Outward, you will play as a character who is already part of the game and could be called a true inhabitant of the world. All the basic survival elements are there in the game.
Players will need to find food and water to survive. Another important thing in the game will be magic which will largely govern most mechanics of the game. It is considered as an intricate web of rituals which are required to evoke supernatural powers in the game.
It means that players will be gradually introduced to the concept of magic and as they explore it more, they will unlock more powerful magic and use that for spellcasting. The game also features dynamic defeat scenarios which ensures that every playthrough is a unique one.
One of the best things about Outward is that it offers split-screen co-op gameplay which means that two players can jump in the same game and play side by side on the same screen which means that couch co-op is not limited to other genres as well now.
Apart from local co-op, the game also features online multiplayer where players can join anyone playing the game in the world and play the game with random people around the world. This ensures that players do not feel alone in the huge open world.

Outward is slated for release on PS4, PC, Xbox One on March 26, 2018.
