From what I can gather so far Outcast II marks the continued adventures of Cutter Slade, tell us how the story has progressed on from the original, what is the new premise?

For the moment I cannot disclose details regarding the storyline of Outcast II, since we'll publish official material on our web-site in due time. What I can anticipate is that the plot of Outcast II will be a continuation of the story of Outcast, even though with a completely different twist. This will affect, of course, Cutter's goals, the setting, and determine the actors of the game.

The beauty and diversity of the landscape and game world was one of the original's greatest strengths. How will this be continued and what diverse landscapes will be present Cutter to explore?

We consider the beauty of the landscapes as being a trademark of the Outcast series. That said, in Outcast II you'll find a much stronger connection between gameplay and landscapes, since the latter are there in order to serve the gameplay as much as possible, while preserving and even improving upon, the graphic quality that characterized Outcast.

How will the new story progress through the game? Will Cutters progress be marked in cinematic fashion, as with Outcast? Tell us a little more about how this gameplay element has been refined.

Again, unfortunately I cannot anticipate much about this yet. I'd love to, but we're committed to a formal Outcast divulgation policy... Anyway, I can tell you that the cinematic element will be there, although more embedded in the overall gameflow, thanks to both the potential of our technology and a careful story-telling design.

    I am waiting for this exciting new chapter of Cutter Slade's adventure! It is so absorbing that I, after this intervening period, remember all the environment of Outcast I, like I would lived them!
