Outland
Nex Machina from Housemarque is finally here!
From the team that created Resogun and in collaboration with Eugene Jarvis (Robotron, Smash TV) comes an intense arcade shooter that blends the best of coin-op skillful gameplay and modern cutting edge voxel tech.
Travel through a diverse alternate universe where robots have taken over and humans have an unhealthy symbiosis with their screened devices. Starting from the “Techno Forest” you make your way through ever increasing robot infestation as you attempt to save humanity.
Particle explosions and neon lights are always better with a great soundtrack. Ari Pulkkinen (RESOGUN) returns to helm an adrenaline fueled set of tracks that blend synthwave and retro game influences.

Nex Machina, a new game from the developer of Outland.
We are very excited to announce that Nex Machina will be coming to PC!
This is our first PC game launch since Supreme Snowboarding in 1999 (Outland was ported 3 years after the console release) so it has been a long time coming.
“It’s amazing and humbling to be able to get back to our roots in PC development, where we started almost 22 years ago”, said Ilari Kuittinen, CEO of Housemarque.
Officially there is no date to announce yet, but our aim is to get Nex Machina out during the summer on Steam.
Get ready for more Nex Machina related news in the days and weeks before launch.
Sincerely,
Housemarque Team
