Nex Machina, a new game from the developer of Outland.




We are very excited to announce that Nex Machina will be coming to PC!
This is our first PC game launch since Supreme Snowboarding in 1999 (Outland was ported 3 years after the console release) so it has been a long time coming.

“It’s amazing and humbling to be able to get back to our roots in PC development, where we started almost 22 years ago”, said Ilari Kuittinen, CEO of Housemarque.

Officially there is no date to announce yet, but our aim is to get Nex Machina out during the summer on Steam.

Get ready for more Nex Machina related news in the days and weeks before launch.

Sincerely,
Housemarque Team
