Outbound “Wildlife” update announced

Silver Lining Interactive and Square Glade Games have announced a big “Wildlife” update for Outbound. Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch players will be able to access it soon.

The update brings a fauna expansion and a feature-packed photography system to the cozy open-world adventure game. That’s along with upgraded building options, quality-of-life-improvements, and more.

Lots of additional information can be found in the following rundown:

The Wildlife Update brings a brand-new way to document your off-grid journey. Players can now discover an expanded fauna ecosystem featuring 34 unique animal species roaming across the game’s four distinct biomes. 

The Photography System: Visit the new Wildlife Outpost in the first biome to download the blueprint for a craftable camera. Fine-tune your shots with professional settings, including Exposure/Brightness, Depth of Field focus points, Saturation, Contrast, and Zoom. Every snapshot is saved directly to your library.

Wildlife Journal Tracking: Journal now displays previews of the animal, to help you find which one you haven’t documented yet! The camera automatically detects animals in view. Framing a species and taking a crisp shot logs the animal as ‘collected’ in a brand-new tab in your personal journal.

Enhanced Optics: The static binoculars found across the world can now be used to view long-distance when you don’t have your camera to zoom in just yet.

Upgraded Building Options: A new solid wooden foundation featuring a closed wooden floor is now unlocked and available immediately in the build menu with no blueprint required.

Quality of Life Improvements: Based on community feedback, the fishing interaction prompt now only appears while standing still, keeping your HUD clean and uninterrupted while exploring and walking in the water.

In-Game Collectibles: Keep an eye out for a brand-new Kickstarter backer-designed charms and adorable animal-shaped plant pots to spruce up your mobile sanctuary.
