Outward 2

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.

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.

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?

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.
