An Outworlder demo is now available for those of you who are keen on checking out the next generation of 2D sandbox games according to a press release from the developer.
If you haven't heard of Outworlder, well, that's no big surprise. It's still very much in development, although what they have so far is pretty darn cool. Check out this newly-released trailer for 2020 that shows off some of the cool tech and features of the game:
Created by a team that includes developers from Starbound, Outworlder seeks to maintain the familiar gameplay of titles like Terraria and Starbound while also evolving the genre. We spoke with Rho "Rhopunzel" Watson late last year about what's coming and it's looking pretty darn good.
Now, the devs have opened up pre-orders for their game — and there's a demo that you can play right now.
How to Get the Outworlder Demo
Here's how you can get the Outworlder Demo:
- Head to playoutworlder.com/demo.
- Download either the Windows Client or Linux Client.
- That's it, you're good to go!
- ...unless you want to play multiplayer, then you should probably grab the Windows or Linux Server, too.
The Outworlder demo is restricted to one biome and only features Creative Mode, but it should give you a pretty good idea of the look and feel of the game. It doesn't cost a penny, so why not go ahead and check it out!
Pre-Order Outworlder and Get Some Neat In-Game Bonuses

Here are the tiers for Outworlder pre-orders:
Bronze Tier ($20)

Platinum Tier

Buy Devs a Coffee Tier
- Give the devs $5, no strings attached. You'll still get a thank-you in the credits and a backer title on the forum.
It should be noted that any and all creative decisions will have final approval by the developers. They'll be more than happy to work with you to figure out something new for a name or design if things don't work out on the first go.
Outworlder is shaping up pretty nicely and we'll hopefully be able to play the Alpha soon. You can keep up with the game's development at playoutworlder.com and the game's official Twitter.
