After almost 2 years of building behind the scenes, we’re excited to share that Outpost Surge is officially targeting July 30th for game launch. Before the dust settles on the Martian surface, we’re kicking off a series of pre-launch activities to get you geared up — and to reward our early explorers.

From exclusive collectibles and discounted access to meme-fueled contests and on-chain competitions, now’s your moment to get ahead. These opportunities won’t be available after launch, and they offer the maximum earning potential once the game goes live.

Here’s everything happening this June for Berachain:

Beranaut Mint – July

The Beranauts are coming to Berachain. If you minted one on Arbitrum in 2024, you’ll receive the same NFT(s) airdropped to you on Berachain in July (snapshot & mint details coming soon). The quantities and attributes are all staying the same, but the remaining quantity will be purchasable in $BERA.

Owning a Beranaut gets you:

• High-quality PFP art.

• Use as your in-game avatar, a high-quality 3d character for game modes.

• Guaranteed access to all game core modes: First Light, Survival, Speed Mode, and more..

• Unlock Operation Berastorm DLC (a $10 value).

• Entry to RFA-backed reward pools and future contest modes.

Game Launch – July 30th

Outpost Surge is a society survival city-building game set on Mars. Players take on the role of Martian pioneers, constructing habitats, managing oxygen, mining resources, and navigating cosmic hazards — all while trying to sustain a growing settlement of astronauts.

The team has been play-testing hundreds of hours and it is ready for primetime soon.

Here is what is planned to launch:

• First Light – Build the first settlement on Mars in the action-packed, narrative driven game mode.

• Survival Mode – Survive as long as possible as conditions worsen. Will you be the top ranked commander?

• Speed Mode – Build as fast as possible in this timed experience.

Anyone will be able to download and play the first few objectives in First Light for free, but in order to access all game modes (with token earning mechanics), there will be a small fee payable in $BERA and other cryptocurrencies.

Suit up. Draw something weird. Fuel your missions. We’re building the future of Mars — and it starts now.
