GAMEPLAY
Inspired by classics like The Legend of Zelda, GTA, and Rock’n Roll Racing, RoadOut lets you thrash rival factions, complete black-market contracts, and race across deadly circuits for street cred that affects the outcome of the game. Craft your weapons and drugs before battling your way through wasteland locales in both close and long range combat.
STORY
After a cataclysm shattered the world, humanity’s remnants are ruled by a powerful A.I. and rebels cling to survival in the desert wastes of The Dead Zone. Claire earns her keep running sabotage, delivery, and assassination jobs for local leaders while rival factions vie for control. But when traces of her past begin to surface, Claire uncovers disturbing evidence that ties her very existence to the origins of the A.I. itself, forcing her down a dangerous road where survival, truth, and destiny collide.
Fueled by cybernetic upgrades, customizable cars, and a pounding synthwave soundtrack, RoadOut is a high-octane mix of story, survival, and style.
