Back in ’99 Outcast made a huge splash pushing the open world genre forward in a big way… It was a game changer laying down the foundation for what was to come. Fast forward to now & we’ve got Outcast – A New Beginning hitting the scene crafted by the original Outcast crew. They’ve come together once again to spin up a world that’s as captivating as it is perilous populated by the Talan folks—a civilization with deep ties to Earth thanks to the twists & turns of the first game.

It’s a fresh take on a beloved classic promising a blend of nostalgia & new adventures. And this guide? It’s your go-to for all the default keyboard controls & shortcuts you’ll need to navigate this adventure. Make sure to bookmark it for a quick reminder whenever you’re in a pinch.
