Developed by a small team in Canada, Outward is a survival RPG where you start out as an average person, rather than a heroic protagonist. Sam described the game as “gratifying and immersive” after spending some time in Aurai last year, which you can read more about here. The Soroboreans is described as a “hard hitting” DLC that will have players worrying about more than travel rations or losing their precious backpack.

Here’s some of the challenges and features players can look forward to in the new content when it launches sometime this spring:

​Corruption: Hungry, thirsty and cold. A terrible situation to be in, but one you often find yourself in while playing! If that wasn’t enough for you now your character can get corrupted. The level of corruption affects you in different ways and if you can’t shake it you could meet an untimely end. The world just got a whole lot scarier!

Enchantments: What’s better than your favourite weapon by your side? What about your favourite weapon with a whole new effect on it! Weapons and Trinkets will now be able to be changed with the new enchanting system!

New Skills and Status Effects: Introducing new skills and status effects for your character. These will help with the new situations you find yourself in with the corruption affects. These add a new element to the game and can completely change your gameplay. Time to start a new character?

​While there’s no solid release date or details just yet, a further series of developer diaries is on the way that will reveal more about the upcoming DLC.

Outward is currently available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
