Wendigo's Outside has been in development since the end of 2023. Over time, the project grew beyond its original scope, featuring minigames, a dedicated website, planned DLCs, and even a sequel.
However, after careful consideration, I made the decision to completely remake the game from the ground up.
Why a Remake?
The original version relied on outdated and inconsistent development techniques, having passed through multiple engine versions ranging from Unreal Engine 4.26 to 5.5. As development progressed, several issues became increasingly apparent:
Over 70GB of free assets without proper crediting
Numerous bugs and technical inconsistencies
Lack of polish and professional coherence
Fragmented design caused by constant reworking
Rather than continuing to modify a flawed foundation, the decision was made to rebuild everything.
A Fresh Start
The remake of Wendigo's Outside features:
A completely rewritten story and redesigned characters
Original assets created from scratch
High-quality assets provided by Quixel
Characters developed using MetaHuman Creator
A cleaner, more modern and professional development pipeline
Release Plans
The full game, including all minigames and a fully remade version of The Fort, is planned for release around 2027, depending on development focus and scope.
A playable demo will be available on launch day, alongside:
Additional minigames
Steam achievements
Expanded gameplay systems
Looking Ahead
There are many ideas planned for the future of Wendigo's Outside, and the goal is to deliver a refined, immersive, and memorable experience.
