Outer Wilds Announced Release Date

By Adam Bankhurst

Outer Wilds, a game that looks a bit like No Man's Sky but with a hand-crafted solar system, will be released on Xbox One and PC on Epic Games Store on Thursday, May 30, 2019.

Announced last year, Outer Wilds is a first-person science fiction adventure that is described as a "mystery of the open world", which unfolds in the aforementioned solar system and is "trapped in an infinite loop of time "which resets minutes.

Players will have to remember everything that they have learned at each round to further progress in Outer Wilds and discover the truth in this title from the editor of What Remains of Edith Finch.

We included Outer Wilds in our list of 10 awesome games that you might have missed at E3 2018 and stated that he "was surprised [us] in a big way. It's a space adventure game with a lovely alien summer camp theme, but it's a delightful cross between Majora's Mask and the Kerbal Space Program. "

At the release of Outer Wilds next week, it will be a timed exclusivity for Epic Games Store, the other platforms "arriving later".
