Outward 2 (Nine Dots Studio) is the eagerly anticipated sequel to the cult survival-RPG Outward. The team presents a denser, more reactive open world with full seasons, a living economy, snappier combat, and upgraded character creation — all built on Unreal Engine 5 — while preserving the original’s punishing survival loop.

Early footage and the official pre-alpha trailer highlight cooperative play, exploration, and emergent encounters; developer interviews and studio streams emphasize deliberate design choices to make co-op more satisfying and meaningful. Community discussion and wishlists show strong player excitement, positioning Outward 2 as a serious contender for 2025’s top co-op experiences.
