Coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series XS and PC, the new trailer for RoadOut shows its on-wheels and on-foot mayhem, perfect for fans of Mad Max and The Legend of Zelda.
DANGEN Entertainment and developer Rastrolabs have announced that RoadOut will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 12, 2026. A brand-new, action-packed trailer premiered today during the Latin American Games Showcase: The Game Awards Edition, giving fans a new look at this rubber-burning action RPG. A playable demo for RoadOut will be available on Xbox as part of the Indie Selects Demo Fest until December 31, 2025.
RoadOut is a rule-breaking fusion of rotable 2.5 dungeon exploration and retro vehicular mayhem. Players step into the role of Claire, a mercenary for hire who races, fights, hacks, and crashes her way through the ruins of The Dead Zone. In her quest to uncover her connection to A.I., she’ll uncover conspiracies, clash with gangs, track down tech-fantasia relics, and personalize her ride for maximum style and destruction.
Players can look forward to puzzle-filled dungeons with twin-stick combat, overworld exploration on wheels, rock n’ roll style racing, crafting and mods, all wrapped in a post-apocalyptic world seething with retro style and synthwave.
STORY
After a great cataclysm, what’s left is a post-apocalyptic world dominated by an A.I. with rebel groups that take refuge in a desert area known as The Dead Zone.
Claire survives in this world by executing black market contracts for local leaders involving delivery, sabotage and murder. The Dead Zone, now not so dead, is occupied by three rival factions: The Wasteheads, The SaibaKuran, and Order of the New Code.
While investigating her past, Claire uncovers strange evidence that links her existence to the origin of the A.I.
GAMEPLAY
Part exploration on-wheels, part dungeon crawler, RoadOut shifts between retro-style behind-the-wheel action and on-foot brawling. Switch from turbo-charged chases to twin-stick shootouts. Drive into run-down city hubs, take on underground side quests, and blow up dangerous hideouts. Players can upgrade both Claire and her ride with body mod and vehicular customization, while scouring the world for items to craft their own items, weapons and upgrades.
Explore the World on Wheels
The world is no longer the same. All that remains is The Dead Zone, a large artificial biome created to sustain a new era of humanity. Drive through The Dead Zone doing jobs, getting paid and running roughshod over the scum guarding the secrets of the world. Join factions, fight rival gangs, barter items and take up quests to earn clout while progressing Claire’s story.
Twin Stick Combat and Dungeon Exploration
Exit your ride and explore locations in the world of RoadOut on foot. Crush bandits with short and long range attacks, block with your shield, and recover using drugs that you’ve crafted on the way. Solve puzzles using fully rotatable stack sprite perspectives that look 2D, but are actually 3D.
Body Mods and Cybernetics
Craft new moves, weapons and drugs to survive. You can customize Claire with body mods, cybernetics and an intricate skill tree system. Upgrade her car to traverse different terrain and withstand the effects of weather, night and day.
Battle in Your Bitchin’ Ride
Equipped with weapons and other tech, Claire’s car is your best friend against dangers in The Dead Zone. Hungry animals are ready to rip you apart. Murderous bandits will rob your lifeless corpse. Prepare for the worst with your car and its arsenal of weapons.
Race for Glory
The world may have come to an end, but who said we can’t have fun? Ride or die in red-hot races to be the best on the post-apocalyptic circuit. 10 tracks in multiple biomes, innumerable races, all of them equal measures deadly and glorious. Indulge in extra game modes such as destruction derby-style racing and twisted battle arena, all while roading out to a thumping synthwave soundtrack.
