Dangen Entertainment and Rastrolabs have officially announced the release date for RoadOut, their highly anticipated action RPG that fuses retro vehicular gameplay with dynamic, rotatable dungeon exploration.
RoadOut is set to launch digitally worldwide on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch on March 12, 2026. RoadOut brings players into a rule-defying adventure featuring Claire, a resourceful mercenary navigating the treacherous landscape of The Dead Zone—a post-apocalyptic biome designed to support a new age of humanity.
Players will race, battle, hack, and uncover mysteries as Claire seeks to understand her connection to advanced artificial intelligence, all while contending with gangs, discovering technology relics, and customizing her vehicle for survival. Drawing on the aesthetics of retro-futurism and synthwave, RoadOut sets itself apart with a blend of fast-paced, vehicular combat and innovative 2.5D dungeon mechanics.
Players explore expansive, puzzle-filled dungeons using twin-stick controls, switching between on-foot action and high-octane driving.
The game challenges players to fight off bandits and predators, solve 3D-rotating sprite puzzles, and survive intense overworld races across shifting biomes and weather systems. The publisher has emphasized a robust set of features that include: - **Exploration and Faction Gameplay:** Claire traverses The Dead Zone, taking on jobs, joining factions, and battling rival gangs for survival and rewards. - **Twin-Stick Combat and Dynamic Dungeons:** Players exit their vehicles to engage enemies with both melee and ranged attacks, block incoming strikes, and utilize a variety of crafted consumables.
Dungeons demand tactical thinking, rewarding puzzle solutions through an innovative perspective-shifting mechanic. - **Customization and Upgrades:** RoadOut offers detailed customization with body mods, cybernetic enhancements, and an intricate skill tree for Claire.
Players can also upgrade their cars to handle terrain variations and weather changes, providing depth to both exploration and combat. - **Vehicle Battles and Racing:** Fully equipped vehicles allow for weaponized car combat and thrilling racing experiences.
The game features ten tracks across diverse environments, with additional modes like destruction derby and battle arenas, all backed by a driving synthwave soundtrack. In an official statement, Dangen Entertainment characterized RoadOut as "a genre-bending journey where players experience the thrill of futuristic driving, intense dungeon combat, and deep RPG customization, leveraging the unique capabilities of the Nintendo Switch platform." RoadOut will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch starting March 12, 2026.
