Arriving twenty years after the original Outcast, a sequel, Outcast – A New Beginning is out now, and to herald its launch, publisher THQ Nordic and IGN partnered up to send the Adelpha Edition of the game to space. To make this stellar outing even better, one lucky fan will win the Adelpha Edition that actually went to space, plus another sealed version for their collection. Read on for details on how to enter for your chance to win.
The Launch
Early in the morning in a field in the Midlands, three copies of Outcast – A New Beginning (one for each platform) were loaded into the compartment of the custom built spacecraft, alongside the mounted 9.5” Saï statuette that is included in the Adelpha Edition of the game.
Overseeing everything from assembly to launch and recovery of the craft was marketing-focused space agency Sent into Space. The custom spacecraft, made in Sent into Space’s workshop, was built from specially engineered materials, and designed to keep its Outcast – A New Beginning Adelpha Edition cargo safe as it ascended skyward. Every detail of the journey was calculated and predicted by Sent into Space, whose experience of conducting over 1000 flights into the upper stratosphere ensured they knew where the craft was going to land within about 100 metres.
Lifted by a giant balloon, the in-built cameras on the craft documented the Saï statuette’s ascension, capturing a truly out-of-this-world picture of the Earth’s curvature behind the big-eared creature. The craft couldn’t quite get to the alien world of Adelpha, the setting of the game, but by reaching 28 km above sea level, it got as close as it could.
About Outcast – A New Beginning
Outcast – A New Beginning is an open-world action adventure game featuring returning hero Cutter Slade. Developed by Appeal Studios and published by THQ Nordic, Outcast – A New Beginning sees ex-Navy SEAL Cutter Slade return to the vibrant alien world of Adelpha to save it from invading robot forces.
Use Cutter’s jetpack to jump, air-dash and glide around the open world, and combine dozens of modules to create your personal weapon for taking down enemies. Cutter’s dry wit will have you chuckling along throughout the journey, but with the world around him changed, he too will have to adapt.
