- Updated long description: <!--textBlock--> <!--title--> # Outward 2 is a challenging action RPG with survival elements focusing on a believable and relatable experience. <!--text--> We created Outward 2 as the ultimate adventurer simulator. We focused on giving you all the tools to live a believable, relatable and deeply human journey. **A wonderfully threatening world ** Aurai is not just beautiful sights and landscapes. The world is a perilous one where you are never completely safe. Most Auraians never dare step outside of city walls as their fate would most likely take a dark turn. When you choose to go out there, come prepared, as hunger, thirst, exhaustion or weather conditions can be as deadly as the creatures that roam the wilds. There is no fast travel on this journey, no shortcuts, no mounts. You are only human, trying to carve a place in a world that doesn't care if you survive. **Choose your playstyle** There are no levels in Outward 2, you’ll progress through your own experience of the game and your gear. For a fee, special trainers scattered around Aurai will teach you how to survive the most brutal of encounters, specializing in up to 3 classes at once to form your own style of play. (Besoin de plus d’infos sur les exercices et la façon de débloquer des skills books etc?) Will you be a powerful warrior, a deadly ranged bowman entrenched behind your traps or magic wielding mage boosting your power through sigils. **Prepare for every fight** In Outward 2, there is no level difference to support you along your journey. To survive, you will need to rely on your knowledge, preparations and strategy. Knowing how to effectively use traps, potions, boons, weaknesses, poisons, food buffs and specific gears to your advantage is the key to prevailing against the most dangerous beasts. As you venture into Aurai, you will gain the finesse to tell when you stand a good fighting chance against a creature, and which will overwhelm you. **Improved combat** We have reworked our combat system to make it more responsive to your commands while keeping the core of its design. Take full control during fights with easier parrying, dodging or changing your attack. We also complexified the equipment system by letting you equip what you want in your off-hand. Hit an enemy enough to deplete his stability, stagger him and ultimately bring him to a vulnerable state to inflict maximum damage. Cast spells using a ritualistic magic system where every move is decomposed. Send a fire stone in the air to create a fire ring around you that will let you empower your skills with deadly flames. **Live with your failures ** Since you're a mere human, don't expect your failures to go unpunished. Getting knocked out means living with the scars of your defeats. Luck might be on your side and you will be saved by a good samaritan. Or perhaps you will wake up back in town badly injured...or simply robbed of your goods and left to rot... or worse. Every defeat is a chance to discover something new. Constant auto-saving will prevent you from acting on plans that are not carefully thought out. A Hardcore mode is also available if you like the rush of risking everything. One life, one adventure, and a 20% chance to get your save deleted every time you’re defeated. Online Coop or Split Screen (06_CO-OP.mp4 - a refaire pour mettre de l’action dans la première scène) Outward is fully playable in online or split-screen coop! There will be no matchmaking system, so join our Discord to find other adventurers to play with you. Should it be for the full adventure or just for a quest, the game is made for co-op experience. **Choose between 3 different starting locations ** In Outward 2, choose from three distinct starting locations, each offering a unique storyline. Will you be a miner in the snowy city of Tramontane, a lucky homeowner in the underground city of Haboob, or a vagrant surviving in Simeon's Bastion? We want you to experience a true open world where every playthrough can begin with a fresh perspective. **The backpacker experience ** Your bag is essential to your journey in Aurai. Pack it with provisions, potions, weapons, and camping gear to survive until your destination. You’ll need to manage its weight carefully along your journey, everything you find might not be worth the space. The dozens of backpack available will have different storage space where you can put away your lantern, tent or weapons without worrying about burdening yourself. You should ALWAYS drop your backpack before a fight, otherwise you’ll be slowed down and any blow to your backpack will damage your stored items. **Witness a story bigger than you** Once feared as monstrous beings known as the Scourge, the Immaculates have now been pacified through a powerful runic spell. Their thirst for blood has been banished but they are still capable of immense power. These ageless creatures who require neither food nor rest, still carry the weight of their dark legacy. Incapable of reproduction, or of feeling emotions, the Immaculates now seek meaning and acceptance in the world of Aurai, a world that can't seem to forgive the impact of the Scourge. Depending on which main quest you choose to follow, you'll uncover a different perspective on their quest, and the ramifications involved. Join a budding mercenary company as a founding member, unravel the mysteries of a secret society with a group of historians, or embark on a noble humanitarian mission to aid those in need. Whatever path calls to you, your fate will be entwined with the Immaculate's quest for humanity and inclusion. → <!--textBlock--> <!--title--> # Outward 2 is a challenging action RPG with survival elements focusing on a believable and relatable experience. <!--text--> We designed Outward 2 to be the ultimate simulation of an adventurer’s life. It offers a believable, relatable, and deeply human journey complete with all the hardships that come with it. But worry not: you’ll have all the tools you need to overcome the challenge. **A THREATENING WORLD ** Aurai is more than just breathtaking landscapes. It is a perilous world where most people never dare to leave the safety of their hometown walls. When you choose to go out there, come prepared: hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and harsh weather can be just as deadly as the creatures that roam the wilds. You're only human, struggling to survive against the odds. Don't count on mounts or fast travel to make things easier for you. **FIND YOUR OWN PLAYSTYLE** In Outward, every factor matters, and each one influences your playstyle. Every weapon type has its own unique moveset. The weight of your armor affects your movement speed, and its materials determine how well it protects against different weather hazards. Beyond weapons and armor, you also need to consider what you eat and drink, what kind of tent you sleep in, and which backpack suits you bests. Beyond your equipment, you also need to master the right skills. In Outward 2, you are not innately powerful. As a commoner, you don't even start with any magical affinity. You must earn your growth and use the tools at your disposal to gain the upper hand. Fortunately, trainers scattered throughout Aurai will teach you the skills needed to survive even the most brutal encounters...for a price. By studying under them, you can specialize in up to three classes at once, allowing you to shape your own unique playstyle. Will you be an imposing warrior who overwhelms his adversaries, a weapon in each hand, a deadly bowman entrenched behind your traps, or a cunning mage who draws power from elemental sigils? Or will you try to combine a little bit of all three? **PREPARE FOR EVERY FIGHT** You are just a regular person. Don’t expect to be a legendary hero who slays all without breaking a sweat. The enemies you face are bigger and meaner than you. Jumping into danger and relying solely on reflexes and improvisation will get you killed. You must assess the threat and your environment, devise a strategy, and prepare accordingly if you want to be the last one standing. Knowing how to use traps, potions, spells, poisons, and specialized gear effectively is key to prevailing against the most dangerous beasts Besides, there is no shame in avoiding unnecessary confrontations. As you venture into Aurai, you will develop a sense of whether you stand a good fighting chance against a creature or if it is wiser to only engage once you have the right resources at your disposal. **REFINED COMBAT SYSTEM** The combat system in Outward 2 is both flexible and responsive. You can seamlessly transition from a dodge step into a roll, into an attack, into a block, then into a skill, prodding your enemy’s defenses until they stagger and open themselves up for a devastating combo that sends them to the ground. You can wield a weapon in each hand, flowing smoothly from one piece of equipment to another. This allows for a wide range of combinations, such as sword and shield, dual axes, mace and pistol, lantern and chakram, and more. In the same spirit as the first Outward, spellcasting is an involved process that requires combining a variety of actions and reagents. Explore the possibilities and find which combinations unleash your arcane abilities. Will you find new ways to interact with your Sigil of Darkness, or will you draw the runic words that shield you from harm? **LIVE WITH YOUR FAILURES ** Since you're only human, don’t expect your failures to go unpunished. Getting knocked out means living with the scars of your defeat. If luck is on your side, you might be saved by a kind traveler passing nearby. Or you could wake up back in town, badly injured. Maybe you were robbed and left to rot...or worse. Every defeat is a chance to discover something new. Constant auto-saving discourages reckless decisions and rewards careful planning. For those who crave even greater stakes, a Hardcore mode is available. In this mode, every defeat carries a 20% chance of ending your adventure permanently by deleting your save file. **ONLINE COOP OR SPLITSCREEN** Outward 2 is fully playable in both online and split-screen co-op. While there is no matchmaking system, you can join our Discord to find fellow adventurers to play with. Whether you're teaming up for the full journey or just a single quest, the game allows players to seamlessly drop in and out of each other’s worlds. **3 STARTING LOCATIONS ** Who do you want to be? First, you must choose one of three distinct starting scenarios. Are you a miner hoping to strike it rich in the northern mountains of Tramontane, a lucky homeowner in the underground city of Haboob, or a vagrant barely surviving in Simeon’s Bastion? Beyond these choices, you’ll also pick a character background. Are you from the distinguished Aberdeen family line? A devout worshipper of Elatt? Or a deadbeat who has accomplished nothing so far? Finally, you'll choose personality traits such as Hoarder, Gourmet, or Lone Wolf. Each trait affects your dialogue options, starting gear, and initial aptitudes. Creating a character in Outward 2 comes with a promise: your adventure will truly feel like your own. **THE BACKPACKER EXPERIENCE ** Your bag is essential to your journey through Aurai. Pack it with provisions, potions, weapons, and camping gear to survive until you reach your destination. You'll need to manage its weight carefully, as not everything you find will be worth the space. When danger strikes, you may want to drop your backpack in the middle of a fight to stay nimble and keep all your evasive options available. But the traveler's experience isn’t about constant overstimulation. It’s about the contrast between the mundane and the astonishing, the calm and the chaos. The pacing gives you space to take it all in, from the beauty of a sunset to the sharpness of your foes’ claws. **WITNESS A STORY BIGGER THAN YOU** Once feared as monstrous beings known as the Scourge, the Immaculates have now been pacified by a powerful runic spell. These ageless creatures, who require neither food nor rest, still carry the weight of their dark legacy. Incapable of reproduction, the Immaculates now seek meaning and acceptance in the world of Aurai, a world that cannot seem to forgive the impact of the Scourge. Depending on which faction you choose to join, you’ll uncover a unique perspective on their quest and the consequences that follow. Become a founding member of a budding mercenary company, help a society of historians gain political relevance by unraveling the mysteries of Aurai, or embark on a noble humanitarian mission to aid those in need. Whatever path calls to you, your fate will become entwined with the Immaculates’ quest for purpose and acceptance.
