Legacy
A sequel, Outcast II was originally being developed for the PlayStation 2. During development, the company Appeal went bankrupt and development ceased. Appeal had been requesting funds from their publisher to help finish the game for release but this was not granted.
The Eternal Outcasts are developing a free sequel called Open Outcast as a Crysis Wars mod. The project initially used the Gothic and later the Crystal Space 3D engines but has now made the step to the CryEngine 2. The project already released two techdemos (Oasis 1.0 & 1.1) which can be played together with the Crysis Wars Demo version.
On 20 April 2010, Outcast was re-released via digital distribution by Good Old Games. The re-released game is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 . This version of the game includes fixes for several of problems, including a community developed patch that negates the need to use a CPU slowdown program, and is generally playable on modern PCs without any extra troubleshooting required.
