X-Out: Resurfaced Making Its Way to Consoles

Ready for a blast from the past? X-Out: Resurfaced, brought to you by ININ Games, Kritzelkratz 3000, Ziggurat, and Rainbow Arts, is making its way to consoles on February 20. You won’t want to miss it!

Transport yourself back to the unique atmosphere of a deep-sea adventure with X-Out. Instead of the usual alien threat from outer space, this game dives straight into an oceanic battle against invading underwater aliens. Initially released on the Amiga back in 1990, X-Out differentiated itself in the shoot ’em up genre by submerging players in underwater escapades rather than the vastness of space. What truly set it apart was its innovative shop system that allowed players to customize their fleets with an array of ships, weapons, and accessories, making each game session distinct.

Fast forward to 2024, and this challenging underwater classic returns, thanks to ININ and Ziggurat’s creative collaboration. They’ve meticulously reimagined X-Out from the ground up with modern enhancements.

Prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking sprite work that’s been re-envisioned into stunning, high-resolution art, now embellished with striking particle and lighting effects. The game boasts eight diverse levels teeming with enemies, bosses, and ships, all beautifully redone.

The visual experience is complemented by an auditory journey, as player to tunes from the legendary Chris Hülsbeck. He has not only remastered the original tracks but also composed six brand-new pieces to elevate your gameplay.

Returning for this remake is Ogan Kandemiroglu, brother and fellow artist to Celal Kandemiroglu, who originally crafted X-Out’s iconic key art. This remake serves as a homage to his legacy.

The shop system has been revamped, featuring ready-made load-outs for quick action, helpful item descriptions for newcomers, and clearly marked slots for your weapons. Plus, if the game’s challenges feel too daunting, call in a friend! Dive into the local two-player co-op mode and confront those oceanic terrors together.

For those feeling adventurous, Mirror Mode adds a twist with reverse-scrolling levels, promising a fresh spin on the game.
