‘Outpost’ shares detailed look at upcoming base-building shooter

Outpost is an upcoming first-person shooter with base-building elements from developers Team Ranger.

Outpost was previously revealed in a playtest trailer in April, but a fully-fledged trailer was released during The Future Games Show 2022. You can watch the trailer below:

The trailer depicted the player fighting off waves of enemies while defending a base. The game is set to feature heavy base-building mechanics so it’s no surprise that the trailer features footage of a squad defending a tower-like structure from multiple waves of enemies.

The Steam page for Outpost confirms that the game will feature online co-operate play. Additionally, it states that the gameplay will be composed of collecting resources, raising outposts and fighting off enemies. Outpost is also planned to have multiple game modes and feature battles “filled with random elements”, implying a level of procedural generation to keep the game feeling fresh.

It also appears there will be environmental mechanics as the trailer ends with the player being crushed by a pillar which materialised above them before dropping downwards.
