Developer Double Damage has revealed Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, the follow-up (or rather, a “sort-of prequel,” as the developers put it) to its acclaimed 2015 space combat game. The studio calls Outlaw “a blue-collar space combat adventure packed with outlaws, explosions, gleefully unrealistic spaceflight, and a hell of a soundtrack.”
In Outlaw, you play Juno Markev, 34 years before the events of Rebel Galaxy. Markev left her life of crime behind until she got pulled back into the outlaw life.

Aiming for release in Q1 2019 on PC, PS4, and Switch, “Rebel Galaxy Outlaw features high-octane space combat, over 20 hours of subspace radio, side activities like billiards and dice poker, plenty of sketchy characters to meet, and sketchy jobs to take on. Nobody’s saving the universe around here – they’d settle for saving a couple of credits.” Double Damage co-founder Travis Baldree said, ““We took what worked from the last title, and then went a little crazy. It’s got a stronger focus on story and place, a huge jump in detail, and while it still works great for folks with a HOTAS at home, I think we’ve managed to make space combat accessible and fun for everybody else in a way that nobody has managed before. We’ve got a lot more to share in the months ahead.”
