The Definitive Edition of Outward was originally released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2022. It features numerous improvements over the base game, including deeper integration of elemets from DLCs The Soroboreans and The Three Brothers.

Players are put into the shoes of ordinary adventurers that are thrown into a magical world where they will have to figure out how to survive against threatening creatures and hazardous environmental conditions.

Outward: Definitive Edition encourages players to come up with their own unique solutions to problems they might face in the game by making use of the numerous tools and items available to them. The game can also be played in local and online co-op with up to one other player.

A sequel, appropriately titled Outward 2, is currently in the works, and will be coming to PC and consoles.

The story sees the player venturing through the world of Aurai, helping people and making their mark. It’s fairly unforgiving though and there are plenty of scenarios where you may end up downtrodden, imprisoned or worse. The Definitive Edition features new defeat scenarios, new diseases to endure and new encounters in its dungeons.

Those interested in co-op can avail of improvements like your stash being accessible in another player’s world. For more details about the base game, check out our review here. If you own the game and The Three Brothers DLC on PC, then you can receive the Definitive Edition for free.
