Saber Interactive is partnering with indie developer Serious Sim to publish the sleek immersive driving game Heading Out. Set out on a narrative adventure with rogue-lite elements inspired by classic road movies like Thelma & Louise and Vanishing Point.
Embark on an emotional journey across America’s diverse landscapes, blending racing, strategy, and storytelling as you navigate the open road in your car, making decisions that shape an unpredictable ride.
Key Features of Heading Out
- Your Adventure: Each trip offers a unique balance of high-speed chases and races, treacherous hazards and challenges, and colorful characters and stories, brought to life with stylish graphic novel visuals. Outrun your fears and the law, pursue your dreams, and risk the consequences at the end of the road.
- Your Choices: Every journey is yours to define. Strategically plan out your route and resources in advance on the map, or hit the gas and fly by the seat of your pants. Each decision shapes the road ahead, including your narrative encounters, fuel consumption, car condition and wanted level.
- Your Legend: Your unique story unfolds with every pitstop across the heartland. Meet strangers, oddballs and lost souls who’ll influence your tale, but don’t linger too long – you’ve got to keep moving. Listen to radio hosts spread your myth to the people as it grows while an eclectic Americana soundtrack carries you down the horizon.
On May 7, Heading Out will ride onto PC via Steam. Serious Sim has previously developed Radio Commander, an anti-war RTS that went on to sell 400k copies. You can watch the release date trailer for Heading Out below.
