An Unexplored World In Your Hands

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 22^nd DECEMBER 2023 – Outward, the open-world fantasy role-playing game developed by Nine Dots Studio, is coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2024.

The Switch release is the culmination of months of hard work between Nine Dots Studio and Sneaky Box, the developer brought on board to lead the efforts to port the game to the Switch.

“Getting Outward onto the Switch was always a dream for us,” said Guillaume Boucher-Vidal, CEO and creative director of Nine Dots Studio. “I’ll be quite honest, I had my doubts that a Switch version was even possible.” Boucher-Vidal pointed to technical limitations fuelling his doubt.

“Outward is a big game that was made in such a weird context and has some very specific technical limitations,” Boucher-Vidal said.

“The team at Sneaky Box really pulled a rabbit out of the hat with this port. I’m happy that there will be one more way to play our game, and with devices like the Steam Deck and the Nintendo Switch, it’s quite fitting that our game is now travel-friendly.”

Outward is an RPG set in the world of Aurai where you take on the role of an ordinary adventurer defending themselves against threatening creatures, braving hazardous environmental conditions, and keeping healthy and hydrated.

Your journey will take you through cities and dangerous hidden dungeons crawling with formidable enemies as you travel across the untamed wilderness.

The Definitive Edition contains the base game, along with two DLC’s, “Three Brothers” and “The Soroboreans.”

Key Features:

• Survive in the wilds as you explore the land 
• Play solo or cooperatively online 
• Dynamic defeat scenarios that react to your context 
• Constant auto-saving means there’s no turning back 
• Ritualistic, step-by-step approach to spellcasting 
• Unique experience with every play through

The Korean Publisher Ends the Year Strong with Awards, Over One Million Units/Sales, Critical and Fan Accolades 

SEOUL, South Korea — Dec. 21, 2023 — NEOWIZ, a global game developer and publisher, is proud to announce that it is finishing 2023 strong with multiple award wins, nominations, accolades, and more for its acclaimed Souls-like action RPG Lies of P.

The Steam Winter Sale runs through Jan. 4, 2024 and the PlayStation Winter Sale runs through Jan. 17, 2024.

Play as a puppet who must fight his way through the city on his unrelenting journey to find Geppetto and finally learn what it means to be human. Lies of P presents an elegant world filled with tension, deep combat and character customization systems, and a gripping story with interesting narrative choices where the more lies told, the more human the protagonist becomes. Just remember: in a world filled with lies, no one can be trusted…

NEOWIZ launched Lies of P worldwide on Sept. 19, 2023, and fans can look forward to the first planned DLC in 2024.
