OutRage: Fight Fest, “the world’s first 16-player fighting game,” will be released on PC next month

The game will be released on Steam Early Access on July 16. This is the debut project of the UK studio Hardball Games, whose team previously worked on titles such as Split/Second, Pure, and CSR Racing.

“The events take place in a parallel reality where a rare serum was discovered, granting temporary invulnerability and superhuman strength, leading to the craziest fight on the planet,” the game’s description reads.

“A mysterious eccentric billionaire offers you the chance to participate in a fistfight in exchange for the rights to harvest your Rage.”

This party game supports up to 16 players in Battle Royale, Free for All, and Team Based modes, featuring a variety of destructible levels and weapons to choose from.

As players deal damage to each other and the environment, they earn ‘Rage‘. As their Rage builds, characters increase in size, allowing them to “hit harder and throw bigger objects.”

The Early Access version will include a 16-player Knockout mode and a 4×4 team mode called Domination, as well as two arenas – a dockyard and a construction site.

The game will be featured at Steam Next Fest, starting on June 10. A demo is already available on the game’s Steam page.
