X-Out: Resurfaced PC

Now it’s up to you alone to stop an alien invasion from the depths of the ocean in this legendary, home computer era shoot ‘em up dredged up and faithfully rebuilt for modern platforms – X-Out: Resurfaced!

In 1990, the year of X-Out’s initial release on Amiga, it stood out as a breath of fresh seaside air in the stale shoot 'em-up space.

Partly, because it didn’t take part in “space” as so many games of its genre did (and still do) but instead went for a dive through underwater worlds.

But what really pushed it further than its other side-scrolling competitors was its shop system allowing players to mix and match from a wide variety of ships, weapons, and other accessory parts to build their fleet making every playthrough (attempt) feel different and unique.

Now 2025 X-Out the highly challenging underwater shoot ‘em up from game developer legends Rainbow Arts is finally returning.

ININ and Ziggurat have collaborated to bring you a faithful remake completely rebuilt from the ground up and greatly improved.

The impressive sprite work of yesteryear has not only been remade into even more impressive modern high-resolution sprites but also greatly expanded upon with particle and lighting effects. 8 varied stages, the enemies, the bosses, the ships, the projectiles; Everything shines in a brand-new light!

Apart from the visual journey each playthrough, you’ll embark on a musical one as well: epic synth soundscapes that drive you forward by none other than yours truly, the magnificent Chris Huelsbeck. In addition to him remastering his original works, we have committed ourselves to creating 6 entirely new tracks as well.

And not just Chris Hülsbeck, we also managed to get in contact with Ogan Kandemiroglu, brother and co-artist of Celal Kandemiroglu who created the original iconic key art of X-Out, to take on that task for the remake as a tribute.…
