Galaxy Next Door: Insomniac Games to create Facebook game



Our pals over at Galaxy Next Door got the goods on Insomniac Games venturing into the inexplicably popular Facebook game arena.

Combining Insomniac’s immersive storytelling with a unique art style and sense of wit, Outernauts is an adventure role-playing game that casts players as members of United Earth’s elite Outernaut force. The Outernauts are charged with capturing and training exotic alien beasts as they uncover the riddle behind mysterious “ancients” while battling pirates and evil corporations seeking to control the galaxy. Players will explore planets, harvest loot, and fight asynchronously alongside or against friends to master a wild, untamed universe. Outernauts launches this Summer on Facebook and like all Facebook games will be FREE 2 PLAY, to a point that is. 
The Free 2 Play aspect is the interesting thing here. Sure it's free to play, but we shouldn't be shocked if grossly overpriced micro-tansactions come into play. Either way, Insominiac obviously sees Facebook as a viable platform for a new title. It should be interesting if any other developers follow suit.
