The Return of the Cult Classic Shmup X-Out After 35 Years

Some say that legendary games never fade into obscurity, and we couldn’t agree more. With a little modern flair, they can make triumphant comebacks that capture the hearts of both old fans and new.

Mark your calendars for the release of X-Out Resurfaced on February 20, 2025. Already, digital pre-orders are open for this breathtaking remake of the Commodore 64 classic shooter that fans still hold dear.

In this fully remastered version, expect stunning high-definition visuals and an updated control scheme that does justice to the original’s legacy while enhancing your gaming experience. It’s a delight for players eager to relive this epic shoot ’em up with modern-day grandeur.

Kicking things off, the game immerses you in a loadout screen that was revolutionary in its time. Here, you’ll select from a range of ships and weapons before diving into intense underwater battles that will get your adrenaline pumping.

Facing numerous challenges and waves of relentless enemies, you play as Captain Granger, piloting the sturdy craft, Trilobite. Together, you’re Earth’s final hope against a cosmic threat lurking in the ocean’s depths.

But fear not if the aliens seem daunting. X-Out Resurfaced now includes an exhilarating two-player mode, perfect for tackling those alien foes with a friend by your side. There’s something special about sharing the thrill of battle with a fellow gamer.

Not to be overshadowed, the game’s soundtrack has also been overhauled by none other than the original composer, Chris Hülsbeck. With his touch, the music strikes a perfect harmony of nostalgia and newness, complementing the revamped gameplay with retro tunes that resonate deeply.

Although the official launch is set for February 2025, you can secure your pre-order today and be among the first to enjoy this classic reborn.

So, gear up, Captain. We count on you for an unforgettable odyssey through the underwater labyrinths of X-Out Resurfaced. Good luck!
