Outbound release gets moved to May 14

Publisher Silver Lining Interactive and Developer Square Glade Games announced that they have moved the release of Outbound from April 23 to May 14. The delay is due to player feedback from its demo, which was available on all platforms.

“We’ve had to make the difficult decision to delay Outbound to May 14th, the developer states.

Late in the process, an issue has been identified that could negatively impact your enjoyment of the game. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to still guarantee a release across all platforms on the originally planned date. Please be assured that our team has worked extremely hard to address this and did everything possible to stay on schedule. We know that you may be disappointed by this news, but appreciate your understanding and believe the delay will result in a more polished, bug-free experience.

Outbound has become a highly anticipated indie game release of this year. It’s a blend of cozy crafting, open-world exploration, and survival-lite mechanics. On Steam, it has over 1.4 million wishlists with thousands more on consoles.
