Description
Take the role of Cutter Slade, a tried and tested elite soldier, and explore the planet Adelpha with complete freedom. As you journey in this magnificent world, where magic and science mix, discover exotic cities, face fierce enemies and attempt to learn the secrets of an advanced civilization. Make the correct choices in this systemic, living world, because the destiny of these two universes depends on your success.

Through hundreds of quests, the vast open world of Outcast – Second Contact offers epic-scale adventure.
  • Start your adventure in complete freedom in this vast open world.
  • Progress at your own pace through different quests available at any time.
  • Face the Talans head-on in daring combat or play the infiltration card.
  • Master an arsenal of evolving weapons and high-tech gadgets, adapt your strategy to fit your situation.
  • Change the balance of the forces on Adelpha. Outcast – Second Contact takes place on a living world where your actions have direct and visible consequences on the ecosystem.


Take off on a fantastic voyage to Adelpha, a bewitching world populated by extraordinary creatures and the home planet of the Talans, an advanced alien civilization.
  • Explore 6 different continents on foot or on the shoulders of a Twôn-Ha, and penetrate into wild lands unknown to humans.
  • As you initiate yourself into the culture of an alien civilization, you are brought into the heart of Talan society: negotiate with the merchants of Riss, parley with rebel forces or follow the mystic path of the grand Shamaz.
  • Each encounter, each event is an invitation to adventure in this thrilling world.


In the near future, humanity has discovered that it is not alone in the universe – or rather universes. Alas, the first contact with intelligent beings turns disastrous when a probe sent by the US government is destroyed by the natives of a world called Adelpha. The incident creates an energy cataclysm which threatens to destroy the Earth. You are Cutter Slade, a Navy SEAL sent on a mission to Adelpha to find and repair the probe, in order to prevent this catastrophe. Welcomed by natives as the “Ulukai” – a messiah of an ancient prophecy – you will discover that the futures of Adelpha and the Earth are now linked.
  • More than 50 hours of adventure within a dynamic and fast-paced story.
  • Confront bloodthirsty tyrants and deliver freedom to a people under the yoke of oppression.
  • Take the role of Cutter Slade, a charismatic and bluntly spoken hero.


Outcast – Second Contact is the complete remake of the cult title Outcast. As the first 3D open world in the history of video games and pioneer in the modern action-adventure genre, the 1999 release won over 100 awards including adventure game of the year.
  • The Outcast universe completely redone with modern graphics.
  • Combat even more dynamic with new moves: dodges, rolls, sprint and cover system.
  • New hidden areas divulging some of the most hotly debated mysteries of Adelpha by the fans of the original game.

Lol

If you want people to actually buy your game you probably shouldn't put a quote from Kotaku plastered across the screen, especially when it's a lie lol

Too pricey for a remake.

I still have the boxed copy of the original game. I have tried replaying it recently, it mostly still worked on Windows 10 (using patches available on the Internet) until I reached a boss encounter which was unplayable on modern PCs. I never bought the GOG version of it, since I suspect that it is exactly the same I have, so I was interested in this one, but the price tag of € 35 is too much for my budget, and definitely way to much for a remake compared to other games remakes I know. I have no way to compare how it plays (versus the original game) since there is no demo, and a review cannot tell me that. So I will wait until the price goes down; I suspect that most players in the same case, or who bought the GOG version, will also find this version too expensive.

Written by a child

I wouldn't recommend this game unless you played the first one and want to re-experience the game anew. The tone is very childish. You wake up in an alien world and not only does everyone speak English, but you spend the whole game being a sassy-pants for no reason.

Blaspheming quote in video ad

Ain't gonna buy this game until you, GOG, eliminate the blasphemy. Can't even view the video ad you provide for Outcast - Second Contact without running into a blasphemy quote. How about a f*** quote or an s*** quote. These would have been tame in comparison...Slobs.
