Outcast devs form Daoka, will build new games in series
Developers from AMA Studios and Appeal, the team responsible for the 1999 PC game Outcast, have started a new studio called Daoka, based in Belgium. Daoka has been working on a game for two years already, set to launch on next-gen consoles in the "near future."
The team will also work on games in the Outcast franchise. The original developers of Outcast – Yann Robert, Franck Sauer and Yves Grolet – recently bought the IP from Atari for a "revival of the franchise," and they are working with Daoka to make this happen.
Outcast is a sci-fi adventure set in the distant, wild future of 2007, starring former Navy SEAL Cutter Slade as he travels with a group of scientists to another dimension to stop a black hole from forming. You know, the sort of stuff that happens all the time in the 21st century.
