Overview
- Outward 2, announced Tuesday by Nine Dots, will enter Early Access on July 7 on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG, with a closed beta starting May 26.
- A new trailer details five PC presets from Potato to Ultra and features a talking potato to underline support for low-end hardware.
- The sample builds range from a GTX 750 Ti with 8 GB of RAM at Potato to an RTX 4080 with 32 GB at Ultra, with a GTX 3060 and 16 GB at a medium setting.
- Nine Dots says it is improving character creation and progression, story delivery, world liveliness, and combat based on player feedback from the first game.
- Core play still centers on survival as an ordinary traveler, with systems like ritual spellcasting, distinct weapon moves, two-player online or split‑screen co-op, and a mule that expands your carry capacity at some risk.
