Planet Zoo 2 aims to expand on everything players enjoyed in the original game. Expect more building options and a wide variety of new animals, each requiring unique and carefully designed habitats.

Okay, so in Ascenders: Beyond the Peak, the biggest danger isn’t really the monsters – it’s the mountains themselves! Seriously, those icy walls are brutal, and you’re constantly dealing with rocks falling, poisonous plants, and the threat of avalanches. The terrain is genuinely the hardest part of the game. But here’s the thing: reaching the top of one climb isn’t the end of your journey, you’ve still got more to do after that!

The closed beta for Outward 2 is now open to everyone! Nine Dots announced the change during today’s PC Gaming Showcase, just before the game launches in Early Access on PC. If you’re excited to try the survival RPG sequel, you can start playing the beta right now. I’ve played it myself and highly recommend it – but be prepared for a challenging experience with plenty of deaths as you learn the ropes!
