“Outernauts is Insomniac’s newest game universe. We believe it will appeal to both our long time Insomniac fans and new consumers on Facebook,” said Ted Price, President and Founder of Insomniac Games. “By bringing the breadth and elements of console gaming to a social game, we hope to give our fans - both old and new - a unique gaming experience on Facebook.”
Role players will find stepping into the world of Outernauts is like stepping into a Saturday morning Loony Tunes cartoon that’s been completely recast giving it a familiar but novel feel. Featuring a deep story with real RPG strategy with Insomniac’s signature sense of humor, Outernauts is an adventure role playing game that casts players as members of the United Earth’s elite Outernaut force. The Outernauts are charged with capturing and training exotic alien beasts as they uncover the riddle behind mysterious “ancients” while battling pirates and evil corporations seeking to control the galaxy. Players will explore planets, harvest loot and fight asynchronously alongside or against friends to master a wild, untamed universe and turn their cosmic homeworld into a galactic hub.
Outernauts launched on Facebook last week. Developed by Insomniac Games in partnership with Electronic Arts, Outernauts is the first games created for Facebook by Insomniac.
“We’re delighted to see such a well-known and respected developer of console games launch its newest project on Facebook,” said Sean Ryan, Director of Games Partnerships, Facebook. “With the arrival of Quternauts, people who love console games have another way to connect with friends on Facebook.”
