Return to the world of ‘90s-inspired retro survival horror in this narrative-driven undead nightmare as you team up with fellow survivors to escape a city overrun with zombies! Read on to learn more about what you’ll be experiencing in this new title, as well as a peek behind the scenes during development.

‘90s Meets Next-Gen

Goal of the Outbreak series is to return to the roots of survival horror – crushing difficulty, intense inventory management, retro gameplay, b-horror tropes, and modern graphics, controls, and more. Contagious Memories and Outbreak propels this forward by delivering the ultimate experience – full voiceovers and next-gen visual upgrades combine in the deepest gameplay ever offered in the series. Fluid 60FPS performance, fast load times, choice of first-person shooter controls (over-the shoulder, retro fixed camera), or over-the head, as well as cutscenes and voiceovers are all part of the package. For the first time, you’ll meet fellow human survivors (NPCs) and work together with them to escape a city overrun with monsters and the undead.

Unspeakable Horrors in a Deeper, Terrifyinger World

The nightmare has never been more real, and you’ll finally get to learn more about how the nation is dealing with the undead epidemic. From news broadcasts, views of a destroyed city overrun with the undead, and overhearing your fellow survivors plan how they’re going to survive, you’ll be thrust into a world reeling from this plague. Xbox Series X|S, you’ll experience a more beautiful apocalypse featuring real-time reflections, extreme violence with blood, gore and bodies that stay in the environment and high-resolution real-time shadows. Sometimes all you’ll have is a tiny flashlight to illuminate your way, with shadows jumping in the distance. Everything is out to kill you, and you’ll need to manage your tight resources while making the call to fight or flee your undead assailants.

Do not turn away from friendly faces

This entire game can be played solo or with a co-op option. What if you are unable to face the dark forces lurking within your shadows? You can bring a friend with you to help provide additional light, transport resources, and face the dangers that are out there. But be warned, another set of hands isn’t always going to make your life easier, you’ll still need to make hard decisions on how to share your limited weapons, ammo and healing items. Make use of your linked storage caches when you can find them, and plan carefully how you’ll survive. You live and die together, if one of you is killed that’s the end for both of you!

Behind the scenesEvery aspect of being a solo dev is my responsibility. OutbreakExperience is organized, created or curated by one person. But it’s the great support from Xbox, alongside their incredible hardware, that allows me to focus on creating engaging content and not fighting endless technical hurdles. The Xbox Series X|S’s incredible GPU allows small developers like me to bring next-gen visuals like full real-time reflections across the entire title, while still ensuring a smooth 60FPS and lightning-fast load times. Thanks to the new-gen CPU, and the large amount memory, you can fight against the undead with constant blood. It can also scale down a little with the Xbox toolchains, which allows it to run and look great on Xbox One base hardware. It’s an absolute dream to develop for Xbox and I’m so excited for everyone to experience all these effects in real-time which bring the atmosphere to the next level.

This brief peek into Outbreak: Contagious Memories allows you to return to the world in which ’90s horror stories were reliving.

As Lydia tries to escape an urban jungle, she is surrounded by survivors and must gather supplies. She also has to fight undead monsters in intense combat. You have the option of a retro fixed camera or an over-the shoulder view. These views can be changed at any point during the game. You will find cheesy voiceovers, enhanced visuals, and mocap animations as you try to solve the puzzles and save your life. You can play the whole game with optional split-screen coop, or you can face the dark alone. Are you able to survive this outbreak or will you fall for the undead hoards?
