Outward 2 Preview: The Survival RPG That Hits Hard

Outward 2 picks up 50 years after the events of the first open-world survival RPG, where you again play a nobody of an adventurer – just a regular ol’ human against a world rife with danger. We went hands-on with a PC demo, and it felt like a hyper-polished slice of gameplay – but a rather thin one. It evinced no details of Outward 2’s story or scale, but we sure felt the series’ famously difficult combat. It left us ultimately unsatisfied, desperately wishing to learn and experience more.
