Outer Lands is an action-packed, twisting tale with big surprises which, at its heart, is really about the dangers of technology and our longing for the nostalgic past,” says Arnold.

Gianfelice adds, “What would happen if a hoplite from ancient Greece wielded a modern assault rifle? Together with Matt Arnold, I had an incredible time bringing this bold concept to life crafting an action-packed story where ancient history collides with modern warfare in the most thrilling way.”
