The video which is called "Trilobite's logbook entry #001" features a voiceover from the captain of the heavy submersible, named Grainger, as he recounts the emergence of an underwater alien invasion and documents how he became humanity's last hope.
It is only one minute and 30 seconds in length but has already had various people online speculating that it could be related to X-Out, thanks to its underwater setting and the final image shown in the video, which seems to be a play on the older game's cover art where a small ship is depicted heading towards the maw of a giant aquatic alien.
Below the video, in its description, ININ Games has provided the following cryptic tease:
Meanwhile, on social media, the developer Ziggurat Interactive has also seemed to indicate its involvement in whatever ININ has planned. This is particularly interesting as Ziggurat Interactive is the current owner of the X-Out license, having acquired it back in 2022.
X-Out was originally released for the Commodore 64 in 1989 and was later ported to the Commodore Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, and ZX Spectrum in 1990. It also spawned a sequel Z-Out, which added multiplayer, and was released for the Amiga and Atari ST in 1990.
We'll keep you posted as more information becomes available. You can watch the teaser video below:
