Hey there. It’s Square Glade Games, popping in with some news—Outbound, our chill open-world exploration gig, is rolling out on PlayStation 5! Start with a bare-bones camper van and, whether you roll solo or bring up to three friends, you’re off scavenging, crafting, and shaping your perfect home. The world’s ever-changing, so you’re in for a ride. Literally.
I’m Marc Volger, the co-founder here, just giving you the scoop on what you can do in Outbound. Oh, and Tobi Schnackenberg, my fellow co-founder, will drop some nuggets about what sparked the creation of our game.
So, “cozyvival”—ever heard of it? We cooked up this term after Alpha testing, while chewing on why players were hooked. Turns out they loved the whole survival vibe—juggling energy, foraging, and planting—but with the calm, live-in-a-van lifestyle mix. Other games usually tip the scale one way but cozyvival? That’s the magic middle-ground.
Solo Chill or Multiplayer Thrill?
Playing alone feels like your own off-grid mini-adventure, gathering bits and pieces and slowly souping up your van. It’s a captain-at-the-helm feel. But throw some buddies into the mix, and whoa! The vibe shifts to this wild, energizing road trip, just like real life outings. Grouping up isn’t a must, but boy, does it amp things up. Plus, we’ve got the PlayStation Portal on board—seamless, no-fuss play on PS5 is a dream. Imagine a bunch of friends, each with a Portal, jamming together. Perfect road trip gear, right?
Fields of… Something
Okay, Tobi’s turn—he got the light bulb moment during a road trip from Germany to the Netherlands. Picture this: an old-school camper cruising past solar panels and wind turbines. Bam! The seed for an electric, eco-conscious van was planted. Hence, sustainability is woven all through Outbound’s design—harnessing sun, wind, and rain energy, or recycling junk for van upgrades. And visually, we kept it green and clean—think sailboats instead of immense freighters.
Oh, and Dogs!
For you dog lovers, there’s a cute canine sidekick on your Outbound escapades. Yep, you can pet it! This isn’t just a pretty face—it fetches resources, helps haul stuff, and more. Adds a cozy layer to the cozyvival experience.
Look, games often toss us into mythical realms battling epic creatures, right? But adventures like Outbound? They’re rooted, relatable—engaging our everyday fantasies. Can’t wait for you to dive in when Outbound hits PlayStation 5. Catch you on the flip side!
