February 21st 2025, London, United Kingdom -
Today indie studio Exabyte Games announced a new demo for their upcoming base-builder colony sim set in the zombie apocalypse, Final Outpost: Definitive Edition. This major update is debuting in the February Next Fest, starting 23rd February.
The update includes a new splash screen and animated main menu with an original theme composed by Ben Randall. The OST also introduces new cutscene music and four ambient tracks that play intermittently in-game, creating a whole new atmosphere for players to experience. Controller & keyboard glyphs and a shortcut for enabling infinite assign mode in the job menu have been added to the game. There is also a sneak peek at the modifier system where players will be able to collect stamps for every new Outpost settled.

The demo showcases content exclusive to the Definitive Edition, including a trading system, the first two difficulty modes, save checkpoints, 7.5x speed-up control, leaderboards and a new scoring system, UI and environment improvements, cloud saving, controller support, widescreen support, and a new building: the Radio Tower. Players can play the demo until the beginning of the first Winter. But there's a twist: the new scoring system allows competition with friends to build the best Outpost before time runs out!
Final Outpost was originally released as a hobby project in 2020 and has amassed 1M+ downloads. Since its page went live on Steam on 4th August last year, Final Outpost: Definitive Edition has gained over 15,000 wishlists. Previous alpha versions have been covered by Splattercat, Orbital Potato, Wanderbots, Nookrium and Angory Tom.
