The highly anticipated Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, releasing exclusively via the Epic Games Store on PC is set to launch on August 13 - with a PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch version due in coming months. The prequel to 2015's Rebel Galaxy puts you in the role of outlaw and smuggler Juno Markev as you explore the big empty that is space.

Except that it's filled scum, villainy, space cops, and regular space folk.

A full single player story campaign. But there's plenty of room to do your own thing and make some money – or some mayhem. The big empty is filled with lowlifes, cops, pirates, and blue-collar folks just trying to get by.

Unique Autopursuit feature makes space combat accessible to everyone - play the way you want to, with game styles for novices to veterans.

Slap down some cash for the right ship for the job. Outfit it with a vast array of weapons, armor, and gear. Apply a custom paintjob and get flyin’.

Gamble for cash and equipment at the local watering hole with various side games, including: 8-ball, dice poker, slot machines and arcade games.

Slide into your cockpit, switch on the Subspace Radio and listen to one of 7 stations with over 21 hours of music, DJs and commercials - and full support for custom soundtracks.

Meet and befriend an array of sketchy characters and call them up to lend a hand when needed. Join the community before flinging yourself into the final frontier!

With a full story campaign, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw also opens up the gameplay with a range of options for newcomers and veterans - including auto-pursuit for those a little limited in the first-person space fighter movement department.
