X-Out: Resurfaced

Now it s up to you alone to stop an alien invasion from the depths of the ocean in this legendary home computer era shoot em up dredged up and faithfully rebuilt for modern platforms X-Out Resurfaced
In1990 the year of X-Out s initial release on Amiga it stood out as a breath of fresh seaside air in the stale shoot em-up space
Partly because it didn t take part in“ space” as so many games of its genre did and still do but instead went for a dive through underwater worlds
But what really pushed it further than its other side-scrolling competitors was its shop system allowing players to mix and match from a wide variety of ships weapons and other accessory parts to build their fleet making every playthrough attempt feel different and unique
Now2025 X-Out the highly challenging underwater shoot em up from game developer legends Rainbow Arts is finally returning
ININ and Ziggurat have collaborated to bring you a faithful remake completely rebuilt from the ground up and greatly improved
The impressive sprite work of yesteryear has not only been remade into even more impressive modern high-resolution sprites but also greatly expanded upon with particle and lighting effects8 varied stages the enemies the bosses the ships the projectiles Everything shines in a brand-new light
Apart from the visual journey each playthrough you ll embark on a musical one as well epic synth soundscapes that drive you forward by none other than yours truly the magnificent Chris Huelsbeck In addition to him remastering his original works we have committed ourselves to creating6 entirely new tracks as well
And not just Chris H lsbeck we also managed to get in contact with Ogan Kandemiroglu brother and co-artist of Celal Kandemiroglu who created the original iconic key art of X-Out to take on that task for the remake as a tribute
