Early Access for Asteroids: Outpost, Multiplayer Survival Game Coming Soon to PC

Atari, one of the world's most recognized publishers and producers of interactive entertainment, today announced the upcoming release of Asteroids: Outpost for PC. This bold re-imagining of the world-renowned 1979 arcade shooter puts players in the role of a deep space miner, as they struggle for survival in the asteroid belt. Asteroids: Outpost reinvents the classic Atari title as an open world, sandbox style, survival experience, where players mine, build and defend their base and grow their fortune as they go "from rocks to riches".

Set in the distant future, Asteroids: Outpost thrusts players into a harsh deep space environment. While on a massive, unforgiving asteroid, players face the challenges of exploring the asteroid, collecting resources, scavenging for ore, crafting equipment, and expanding their territory as they build highly customized bases - all while forming alliances and fighting off other players in challenging multiplayer gameplay. Recurring showers of smaller asteroids represent a source of wealth and a threat as players shoot down these incoming projectiles to defend their claims and harvest their components.

"Asteroids is one of the most iconic titles in Atari's portfolio of more than 200 games and franchises, and we're looking forward to ushering the game into today's digital gaming era," said Fred Chesnais, Chief Executive Officer, Atari. "We're paying homage to the original Asteroids by incorporating classic features such as asteroid blasting capabilities, while introducing a completely new premise and gameplay. Asteroids: Outpost will appeal to both fans of the classic Asteroids as well as enthusiasts of immersive survival games and expansive MMOs."

Developed by Salty Games, Asteroids: Outpost will be available on PC. To keep up with the latest on Asteroids: Outpost, visit asteroidsoutpost.com.

Game Description

Asteroids: Outpost is an open world sandbox survival game. As a deep space miner, you must stake, protect, and expand your claim, to mine valuable resources. Craft, customize, and upgrade your equipment. Ally with friends and defend against claim jumpers as you go From Rocks to Riches.

Game Features

Mankind has expanded its reach into the distant corners of the solar system. Near-space vessels, heavy industry on the moon and thriving colonies on Mars extend humanity's empire into the great blackness of space.

With the earth's mines nearly spent, industrialists rely on the wealth of the heavens. Our solar system's massive Asteroid Belt is a mother lode of resources, just waiting to be torn free and shipped home. "The Belt" is the humanity's newest frontier, as wild and untamed as any that man has faced.

Ambitious prospectors blast off with little more than an Outpost Module and a Mining Tool, to tear the hide off these asteroids and find their fortunes. This bonanza doesn't come without risks. Mere survival is a daily struggle. Asteroid storms bombard the surface, destroying Outposts, and hostile claim jumpers can appear at any moment.

For the brave, there is a fortune to be made. For the foolish - there is only death. Welcome to the new Gold Rush.

• Explore: A massive asteroid full of precious ores, abandoned mines and interplanetary intrigue.

• Extract: Shoot down smaller asteroids and harvest their precious components.

• Expand: Build your base and improve your suit to command an ever greater territory.

• Exploit: Forge alliances with other players to protect your claim... Or jump someone else's.
