It’s been long enough since we last spoke aboutOuter Wildsthat this might as well be our first time covering it. The space-simulation adventure game made waves a few years ago, earning thegrand prizeat the 2015 Independent Games Festival and launchingthe firstFig crowdfunding campaign.

Now, it’s back.Outer Wildshas resurfaced under the Annapurna Interactive banner and it’s going to release on PC later this year with “additional platforms” to follow. This new trailer looks wonderful.

Outer Wildstakes place in “a solar system trapped in an endless time loop,” something you can get a hint of at the end of the video as the protagonist wakes up near a campfire a second time. You’ll explore planets, moons, and alien structures, solving puzzles and roasting marshmallows along the way.

I’m really digging the portfolio Annapurna is putting together. This seems like another special one.
